Members of the Toledo chapter of the New Order National Human Rights Organization met with Toledo Police Chief Mike Troendle and several of his assistants on Friday, June12 at Police Headquarters to discuss issues that have arisen between the department and Toledo\u2019s Black community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s sad how these officers are not from our community but they work in our community,\u201d said New Order founder and national president Gerald Rose several days before the scheduled meeting. He added that residents too often feel like \u201cstrangers being judged by their surroundings rather than people being understood.\u201d<\/p>\n

So the purpose of the meeting, from the point of view of the New Order members was to seek answers, accountability and honest conversation. By that measure, the meeting was a success, said local chapter president Ideshia Shumaker.<\/p>\n

The meeting, while not scheduled to deal directly with some of the city\u2019s recent incidents, such as the pushing to the ground of a handcuffed 15-year-old girl, the officers ridiculing youngsters for living in \u201cpoverty\u201d or the shootings at the Old West End Festival which injured 12 people, these events were certainly mentioned during the meeting, said Schumaker. And for the most part, she said, brought up by the officers, with regret for the first two events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said they were truly embarrassed,\u201d she said after the meeting.<\/p>\n

However, the main topic of the meeting was how to proceed. \u201cWe talked about the types of events where we can come together,\u201d said Shumaker. \u201cThe ways in which we can combine the community and the police.\u201d<\/p>\n

The police officers are planning to organize community meetings and contact New Order so the organization can coordinate their own efforts at brining out the community to participate.<\/p>\n
