Title-Protesters gather outside Columbus police headquarters, call for more reforms

snip-"The protest comes a little over a week after the police shooting of Michael Cleveland. Officer body camera footage shows officers briefly following his pickup truck, then engaging in a short foot chase before shooting him from behind.

Cleveland is expected to survive and police say a gun was recovered at the scene, although it was never pointed at police.

"We understand and have a level of understanding to what is needed currently, so that another person is not shot and killed at the hands of police," said Tammy Fournier-Al Sada with the People's Justice Project. She helped organize Monday's protest.

Al Sada and other protesters are calling for more community policing and quicker investigations into police shootings while officers are on unpaid leave. Al Sada also criticized the formation of a new anti-gang unit.
