KASICH STATEMENT ON GREENE COUNTY GRAND JURY DECISION
COLUMBUS – Today Governor John R. Kasich issued the following statement in response to the Greene County grand jury decision regarding the police shooting of John Crawford, III on August 5:
“After talking with the Attorney General and watching the video myself, I agree with his decision that a review by the U.S. Department of Justice is appropriate. This is a tragedy for the Crawford family and I share the concern of many in the community that this matter must be handled with the utmost seriousness and respect. I’ve consulted with local leaders, including leaders in the African American community, and I applaud the example they have set of calm, restraint and patience.”
