[X] Responding to this story from yesterday
…sucker punched a middle-aged woman. That person ought to go to jail for a very long time - and frankly, he's lucky there weren't some better people around because they would've handled it themselves." He's 100% right. Thank God for the moral clarity of JD Vance.
​ [WCPO] Five people have been charged after what local officials called a " Theetge said police received one phone call about a fight at the intersection of 4th and Elm streets at 3:06 a.m. Saturday. By the time officers arrived at 3:12 a.m., Theetge said all of the people injured in the fight were still at the scene, but many others had left. While investigating witness accounts and videos posted online, Theetge said police were able to identify all victims and suspects involved in the fight. Five people were charged, and Theetge said police "anticipate more" charges, calling for people involved to turn themselves in to police. "It would be in their best interest to come turn themselves in at one of our police districts," Theetge said. In a nearly 2 1/2 minute video shared on Facebook, dozens of people are seen in a fight in the street. The video was posted after 3 a.m. early Saturday morning. At one point, a man is chased into the street before he is kicked and stomped on by several others. That man is then eventually helped up by others before he collapses again in the street. When he's helped up a second time, the man has a bloody nose and visible scrapes on his face. After the man leaves the frame of the video, a woman punches another woman in the back of the head. After the woman who was punched backs away, a man punches her straight in the face, causing her to collapse to the ground. It appears the woman was knocked unconscious, and blood begins to pour from her mouth. A group of people then helps the woman as she regains consciousness before the video ends. While Theetge said the videos online do not provide the full story, she did not say what police believe led to the fight. Hear more from Pureval and other city and national leaders in the video below: Theetge said anyone who "placed their hands on somebody in an attempt to cause harm" will face consequences. "I don't care which side of the incident, the fight, they were on ... that's unacceptable," Theetge said. The police chief said officers are also looking into whether some of the people involved were overserved at local bars or restaurants, saying it is clear alcohol played a part in the fight. Theetge did not state what charges have been filed, nor did she identify those charged. CPD's investigation into the fight is ongoing.
[FoxNews] Mayoral candidate Cory Bowman claims police are handcuffed by current leadership as downtown crime surges. "People don't even see the sense in calling 911 anymore," said Cory Bowman, who is also Vice President JD Vance's half-brother in addition to being a candidate for city mayor. Bowman placed second in a nonpartisan primary race in May. He will square off with incumbent Mayor Aftab Pureval in November. His thoughts on citizens seeing no sense in calling 911 came after Police Chief Teresa Theetge said in a press conference that only one person called police while the attack was ongoing. "That is unacceptable to not call the police," she said during a Monday press conference. "Traffic was horrendous. People saw this. They were fighting in front of traffic. Why didn't people call us?" Bowman said that with police handcuffed by the current city leadership, he is not surprised by the events of early Saturday morning, which took place on the corner of Fourth and Elm Street outside a nightclub in the city's downtown business district. He told Fox News Digital that crime in the city not only spikes during the summer months, but has increased over time as a whole, which he claims the local government and media deny. "Whenever May and June was rolling around, there was all these press conferences and all these statements from the media that was stating that crime is down, crime is down," he said. "Well, the reality of it is that anybody that lived downtown knew that because of snow and because of rain, that maybe some things were being prolonged, but once the warmer months came about, the policies … not enforcing the law is actually going to allow just a free-for-all in the city," he continued. Bowman said police officers are voicing their concerns to him about not being able to do their jobs, and he noted that the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) is understaffed to begin with. "And then what happens is that these police officers don't see a point in actually booking the criminals, because there's actually prosecutors in the city that have a revolving door mentality that the criminals go in, and then they're released on the streets," he said. "And so many of these officers don't even book people because they know they're just gonna be back on the street next week. So they sit in their cars, and they try to do the best they can. They have a heart for the city, but they're being hindered by the policies that are in place." Ken Kober is a 25-year veteran of the Cincinnati Police Department. He echoed Bowman's sentiments about the police department's hands being tied, and told Fox News Digital that the beating is something that "as a society, we cannot accept." "It's just nothing more than a savage attack on a couple of people. I mean you see somebody that's completely defenseless, trying to cover their head in their face, and they're just being stomped on by multiple individuals," Kober said. Kober was upset that the positives of the weekend, the Cincinnati Reds winning three home games and the storied Cincinnati Jazz Festival, were overshadowed by the vicious viral video. He, too, blamed local officials for increasing crime. "We have a problem with judges that don't wanna hold people accountable, and when they know that there aren't gonna to be any consequences for their actions is when people are gonna go out and we're gonna see incidents like what happened Saturday morning," he said. | |||
