RTA officer pepper sprays Movement for Black Lives gathering at CSU
At nearby Cleveland State University on Sunday, a GCRTA officer sprayed pepper spray towards a crowd of Movement for Black Lives activists, who were holding a conference at the university. This incident happened after transit police took a 14-year-old boy into custody, saying that he was too intoxicated to "care for himself." Activists claimed that the boy was arrested for not having a bus ticket, and that the officers "body slammed" him. The boy was released a few hours later. The incident is currently under investigation.
