Yesterday, Columbus Police Chief Thomas Quinlan walked with protestors through the Downtown area.

Quinlan was also seen talking with protestors and even knelt at High Street and Nationwide Boulevard to recite the Lord's Prayer, this comes after five days of protesting Downtown. Quinlan and CPD have received criticism for their handling of the protests, including from Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther. The mayor called for people to send info to the city if they feel they have been mistreated by police in the past few days

Stonewall Columbus has even called for his firing. Quinlan told ABC 6/FOX 28

" I haven’t seen the article but I have read the headline I saw it flash across the news and I want to hear their concerns because obviously they have a powerful message and a voice that have a different opinion than the way I am leading the division," Quinlan said. "I want to hear that as long as I am leading the division I want to listen to them that will be between them and the mayor my marching orders are to implement change based on the matrix commission. The matrix report and the mayors commission report and that is what I am going to stay committed to until told otherwise."
