CLEVELAND (AP) A man hit in the face with a bean bag that left him blind in one eye during a racial injustice protest in downtown Cleveland a year ago has sued the sheriff’s deputy who shot him.
Attorneys for John Sanders, 25, of Sandusky, filed the complaint in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on Saturday, the day before the one-year anniversary of a Black Lives Matter protest organized in the wake of George Floyd’s slaying in Minneapolis.
“The injuries inflicted upon Sanders were part and parcel of a long history of inhumane treatment of citizens” by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, the lawsuit said.

CLEVELAND (AP) A man was shot and killed by a Cleveland police officer Thursday morning when he pulled a gun from his waistband as officers tried to arrest him on a murder warrant, Police Chief Calvin Williams said.
Officers initially responded to a resident’s call about the man around 4 a.m. Thursday and returned about four hours later, Williams said. A gun was found near the man’s body, Williams said.
The 25-year-old man, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. The man was wanted for a homicide that occurred about eight blocks from where he was killed, Williams said.
