Impett Park Protest Photo Gallery

Post by Michael Deneen »

My dog Charlie and I stopped by the protests this afternoon at Impett Park.

We took lots of amateurish photos.

Image

The event was large but peaceful.

Good coverage!

I was down at the Justice Center as the verdict was being read. Many upset people, but
everyone was preaching staying cool.

Image
Seconds before the verdict was read.

Image
Breaking down in tears, she reads a statement, and asks for calm.

Image
"These are people, two people we are talking about, unarmed and now dead..." The big
man was mad as hell, but asked for calm.

More later.

Nice photos in your blog, they are as good as anything I got, if not better.

I was down their until about 8pm, went home to feed the dogs, and out to Avon Lake for
a project I have been working on, then back Downtown about 2:30am. I would have spent more
time but it was pretty quiet, and I had to be up by 7am.

I have added 73 photos, and your 39 make 111 photos from the first day of Protests.

A small sample...

Image
Malissa Williams' brother Alfredo Williams screams for justice.

Image
Michele Russell, Timothy Russell's reacts to the verdict.

Image
Members of the Black Man's Army call for justice and calm.

Image
Then they marched to Cuddell Park, where 12-year-old Tamir Rice was shot and killed.

Image
Police wait to escort the protesters back to the Justice Center.

Image
Back to the Justice Center.

Image
Protesters made their way back to the Justice Center.

Image
When they shouted in a group of 8 for 30 minutes or more, "Fuck the Police."

Image
Police patiently listen, and wait, but are ready.

Image
Meanwhile the protesters returned from Cuddell and started marching to Jacob's Field as the game let out.

Nothing left at Justice Center but words, and...

Image
Media with nothing to report for news! Here Suzanne Stratford from Fox 8 fills in her listeners.

Image
Paul Orlousky of Chanel 19, waits to tell listeners violence has erupted at the Hairy Buffalo as patrons scuffle with protesters.

Image
Protests empties out...

While this was going on Lakewood Police and Fire were on call. As often happens as in these episodes as one city's
services get used, they call on others. At one point at 11am Lakewood Fire was waiting for the call. While the
City of Cleveland was battling 4 fires, none related to protest, Lakewood was put on call. Luckily, they were not.

Here are some shots from the 4th fire at 92nd and Lorain.

Image
These were taken at 2 am as the fire was finally being put out.

The idea works again! Isn't it time you became an Observer?
