Police brutality protestors were joined in Columbus last night by Mayor Andy Ginther and Police Chief Thomas Quinlan on the sixth consecutive day of demonstrations.  

No instances of violence are reported. Meanwhile,  Columbus Fraternal Order of Police president Keith Ferrell says his members are caught in the crossfire of conversations about police reform, but nobody is talking to the rank and file:

Ferrell says his officers aren't getting the support they need:

Ferrell did not offer reporters any evidence to back up those claims. He says his union is willing to have discussions about the civilian review panel the mayor has proposed. The union has been adamantly opposed to the idea in the past.
