AKRON, Ohio -- On Tuesday morning, just as Akron City Hall employees were arriving at work, a well-known black activist wearing paper "SWAT" logos on his sweater walked in and handed out mock indictment letters to public officials.

Mayor Dan Horrigan got one, as did the city's police chief, the head of the city's probation department, Summit County Prosecutor Sheri Bevan Walsh, the Akron school board and Judge Tammy O'Brien.

Raymond Greene Jr., a leader with the civil-rights focused Akron Organizing Collaborative, also left the city departments with a report commissioned after race riots in 1968 decimated West Akron and set the entire city on edge. The report made a series of recommendations on improving race relations.

While the city has modified many of its policies -- such as hiring requirements -- to help diversity, often at the behest of black leaders, Greene says the city hasn't done enough. With a new mayor in the office, Greene says his organization is sending a message: They want a seat at the table.

In nine indictments (you can read the full copies below), Greene claims the city refused to "take the necessary steps to demilitarize police within the Black community," "eliminate harsh Zero-Tolerance practices" in city schools, "provide diversity in the hiring of prosecutors" and "make apprenticeships widely known and available to low income neighborhoods."

Indictments are documents stating formal charges in criminal cases. They are not delivered by SWAT teams. Greene said he picked the SWAT theme to echo complaints about police brutality.

"When we do something wrong, when people of color do something wrong, we get served by a swat team that comes into our house and terrorizes our kids, scares our family and scares our community," Greene said. "Nobody takes us serious, so in order to take us seriously we decided to do to them what they done to us."

The city's police department has implemented programs in the past year to improve community relations, including securing grants to supply body cameras on police officers, arranging regular "Coffee with the Chief" meetings with the police chief and has invested more in training programs.

But Greene said his organizing collaborative has been trying to schedule a meeting with the city's newly elected leaders since November, with little success, and wants to hold a forum on civil rights in February. The indictments served as invitations to that event.

"We are hoping they are going to call and schedule this meeting with us on the third week of February," Greene said. "If they don't meet with us then, we'll schedule another action."

City spokeswoman Christine Curry said the city wasn't prepared to comment on the mock indictments or the references to civil rights report.

One of the four people Greene said responded to his request for a meeting was Akron City Councilman Russel Neal, Jr.

Neal represents Akron's Ward 4, home to the epicenter of the 1968 race riots along what was then Wooster Avenue (since renamed Vernon Odom Boulevard). He says he often hears the kind of frustrations that are spelled out in the mock indictments.

"You can't say you want citizen engagement and then dictate the terms," Neal said. "We truly have to be open and then listen to the citizenry. I hope they do consider what's in that report. Those who ignore their history are bound to repeat it."

Neal said he is optimistic that the presence of a new mayor, as well as several new cabinet members, will help thaw relationships with some of the city's more disaffected civic leaders like Greene.
