CLEVELAND -- A white Cleveland patrolman who fired down through the windshield of a suspect's car at the end of a 137-shot barrage that left the two unarmed black occupants dead was acquitted Saturday of criminal charges by a judge who said he could not determine the officer alone fired the fatal shots.

Michael Brelo, 31, put his head in hands as the judge issued a verdict followed by angry, but peaceful, protests: Outside the courthouse police blocked furious protesters from going inside while across the city others held a mock funeral with some carrying signs asking, "Will I be next?"

"It brings tears to my eyes to know again that justice has not been served," Art McCoy of the Black Man Army, a coalition of black leaders, told CBS Cleveland affiliate WOIO-TV outside the courthouse after the verdict.

As demonstrations continued into the night, police in riot gear made multiple arrests, WOIO-TV reported.

At least three people were arrested for "aggravated riot, felonious assault, [and] obstructing justice" after someone threw an object through a restaurant window around 6:30 p.m., injuring a woman inside, the police department tweeted.
