OHP Report Denies Mistreatement Of Black State Lawmaker

cleveland.com

The Ohio Highway Patrol says troopers and security personnel acted properly when stopping a black state lawmaker as she attempted at least three times to enter state buildings. 

A patrol report released Wednesday said the agency's investigation found no "unprofessional conduct or bias" toward Democratic State Representative Emilia Sykes, who says she's been singled out at security checkpoints despite displaying her security badge, while white lawmakers pass through unquestioned. Sykes said the report is disappointing, but says that's what happens "when you investigate yourself."
