Michael Brelo, the Cleveland police officer who was acquitted of manslaughter after he climbed onto the hood of a car and fired repeatedly at its unarmed occupants in November 2012, has been charged with misdemeanor assault.
Michael Brelo was acquitted by a judge May 23 on voluntary manslaughter charges in the November 2012 shooting of Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams after Russell's beat-up car backfired outside police headquarters, prompting a high-speed chase with officers who mistook the sound for gunfire. Brelo was accused of firing the final 15 shots of the barrage while standing on the hood of Russell's car.
Brelo apparently had a drunken fight with his twin brother on May 27, just four days after his acquittal.
Will we now have to suffer through a series of angry incidents involving Michael Brelo like we did with George Zimmerman?
Please god, spare us.
