The judge claimed officer’s have “run amok” in the city during protests.

Written by Paul Meara
On Friday (May 30), a Columbus judge ruled that the city’s police can no longer use force against nonviolent protesters.
In an opinion rendered and obtained by Judge Algenon L. Marbley of the Southern District of Ohio called officers use of violence, tear gas and pepper spray as “the sad tale of officers, clothed with the awesome power of the state, run amok.”
The use of flash-bang grenades, rubber bullets, body slams or of police forcing and cordoning protesters into a confined area, often called “kettling,” are all now prohibited against nonviolent protesters by Marbley. Additionally, officers must ensure that police vehicle cameras and body cameras are in “good working order” during interactions with protesters.
