News about Cincinnati, Ohio

Introduction:

Several pages on this website are collections of news items about specific cities with rampant black crime.  The news media generally refuses to include race in a description of a criminal suspect, unless it is unavoidable.  As a result, most Americans are blissfullly (or willfully) ignorant of the fact that black commit most of the violent crime in the U.S.  The news media in this country is hopelessly dishonest:  They won't report black-on-white violence as a "hate crime," even in the most obvious cases, and they apparently think there is no such thing as black racism, or reverse discrimination.

In most of these Democrat-controlled cities, the voters have been convinced that if the mayor, the city manager, and/or the police chief are some kind of ethnic minority, and preferably female, then all the major problems will be fixed.  Of course, that never happens, and the voters come back a few years later and either elect some other Democrats, or worse, the same incompetent Democrats again!

The news from Cincinnati:

A quick list of stories the lamestream media is avoiding like the plague.  Here are some things most of the media is avoiding like the plague: [...] [#6] There was mob violence in Cincinnati the other day, where a group of blacks mercilessly beat up a young white couple.  Heaven forbid that the public see the woman's face who was beat up, and hear that only one person called 911.  The rest participated or watched.

Cincy thug's family says only reason brutal incident is making news is because a white woman was punched.  The family of one of the black suspects caught on viral video beating up white people in downtown Cincinnati made the incendiary claim that the only reason the assault made national news is that one victim was a white woman.  Police have made multiple arrests after the video of the woman in a black flowery dress who tried to intervene was sucker punched with a vicious blow to the blindside that knocked her to the street, resulting in serious injuries.  Among those identified in the incident is 34-year-old Montianez Merriweather, who was initially charged with aggravated riot and assault, and according to one relative, there would have been no similar outrage if the woman who was punched had a darker skin complexion.  "If it was an African American woman who got knocked out... We wouldn't have been going through all this," the woman told WLWT outside of court, according to the Daily Mail.

The Cincinnati Cop-outs.  Recently, a large group of black youths began pummeling several white adults in downtown Cincinnati.  The original altercation apparently broke out between a black and white male in he-said/he-said fashion.  But that dispute soon turned into a virtual free-for-all.  Numerous male and female black youths sucker-punched a middle-aged woman and a man.  Others continued to kick or body slam the victims, who were sprawled on their backs and seemingly unconscious.  There were many disturbing aspects to the beat-downs.  One, the violence broke out along racial and age fault lines.  After the initial one-on-one dispute, groups of black youths swarmed solitary older white bystanders to pound them.  Two, the surrounding assembled group of black youths not only failed to intervene to restrain the bullies.  They also recorded the beatings for social media and were heard cheering on the one-sided violence.  Three, there was neither a police presence nor any timely Good Samaritan interventions.  Instead, what ended the attacks was simply the fact that at least two of the targets appeared nearly comatose.  So their assailants apparently concluded that their agenda of beating whites into unconsciousness was mostly complete.

Holly Was Knocked Out By A Black Mob, And Cincinnati's Leftist Officials Blamed Her.  Meet Holly, the woman brutally knocked unconscious and beaten in the street by a Black mob during last weekend's Cincinnati Jazz Festival in the downtown area.  Here's Holly.  [Photo]  [Advertisement]  Holly days later.  [Photo]  According to Council Member Victoria Parks, Holly and the other individual attacked (White male) "begged for that beat down."  Let that sink in.  [Social media screenshot]  The city's own leadership has defended the mob, not the victims.  Even Police Chief Teresa Theetge downplayed the attack.  The message from Cincinnati's woke leadership is loud and clear:  lawlessness is tolerated, and victims are to be blamed.  Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) first released shocking images of Holly on X.

Cincinnati Shrilly.  Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge, the first woman to lead the police department (and a good argument for why she should be the last), spent yesterday not excoriating the roving gang of thugs who felt perfectly within their rights to gleefully gang-stomp folks just out for a late evening event.  It was, the chief insisted, a matter of social media amplifying a situation before she had a chance to get out in front of it and make excuses for the wilding in the wee hours on her streets.  The local paper wasn't buying it.

News on Cincinnati Attack Keeps Getting Worse.  Last weekend, a white couple was attacked and brutally beaten and kicked by a mob of young black assailants in Cincinnati while a musical festival took place nearby.  The story has garnered national attention, especially with complaints over the local response.  Since then, the story appears to be getting worse for one of Ohio's largest cities, with a city councilwoman and a Cincinnati consultant now coming under fire.  Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, has been calling out Democrat Mayor Aftab Pureval's response from the start.  The mayor's office has not returned The Daily Signal's multiple attempts for comment.  Moreno has now also highlighted concerning remarks about the incident from City Councilwoman Victoria Parks over social media.  Parks' comments have gone viral on X.  "They begged for that beatdown," she wrote.  "I am grateful for the whole story."  The Daily Signal reached out to Parks' office for comment.  The councilwoman, who is not running for reelection, has faced calls to resign.  Although she appears to have deleted her social media accounts, WLWT reports she confirmed she "stands by her statement."

Cincinnati official triggers venomous reactions to her comment about mob attack victims.  A Cincinnati council member is drawing intense backlash over a comment she made about the victims of last weekend's viral mob attack.  Victoria Parks — the city council's president pro tem — said "they begged for that beat down!"  the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.  Parks' comment went up at 4:50 a.m.  Sunday under another Facebook user's post that includes video of the physical attack.  Her comment — in which she added, "I am grateful for the whole story" — was still visible Thursday morning within the post.  Those reacting underneath her comment didn't hold back:  [Examples] [...] Fellow council member Meeka Owens noted to WLWT in reference to Parks' words that "making comments that inflame a violent incident is never acceptable" and that "endorsing violence is neither effective nor responsible."

Mom Of One Of The Degenerates Who Beat Whites At The Jazz Fest Says He's A Good Boy Because He's In High School And Has 5 Babies And A Bunch Of Felonies.  Mom of one of the thugs who ambushed Whites at the Cincinnati Jazz festival claims her son is "not a thug" because he has 5 kids, "is in school."  He has a conviction for robbery, charges for criminal possession of a firearm, and was just arrested for receiving stolen property.  [Video clip]

Cincinnati Police Chief Who Blamed Social Media After Violent Mob Beat White Couple Was Previously Sued For Anti-White Discrimination.  The Cincinnati Police Chief who blamed social media after a violent mob of mostly black males beat a white couple at jazz festival over the weekend was previously sued for anti-white bias.  A white man was brutally beaten and stomped on by a violent gang of black suspects.  When a woman ran to the victim's aid, she was also beaten and knocked out.  Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge held a press conference Monday afternoon on the beating of the white couple.  [Video clip]

Cincinnati City Council Member Openly Celebrates Vicious Mob Assaulting White People in Downtown Cincy.  While most of the country has erupted in outrage after an angry mob savagely assaulted two white people in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, one prominent local politician has the exact opposite reaction to the story.  As The Gateway Pundit reported, a group of black individuals smacked around a bald white guy at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street in downtown Cincy and beat him so bad that he could not get up.  Then, a white woman got slugged by one of the cowards.  Her head slammed down onto the concrete, and she lost consciousness.  Blood was seen coming out of her mouth.  Two people have been arrested in the attack so far.  One was out on bail from previous charges.

Ohio Senator Releases Horrific Photos Of The White Woman Beaten In Cincinnati.  Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno releases photos of the woman who was brutally beaten in Cincinnati after a local council member said she deserved the beatdown.  Councilwoman Victoria Parks said she was "grateful" that the woman, "Holly," was beaten unconscious.  Moreno is now calling out local leadership for failing the victims of the horrific attack.  "This is Holly.  She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends.  Instead, she got this.  Holly gave me permission to release the photos so that others will never suffer what she did," said Moreno.  [Video clip]

A black Cincinnati City Council member actually said this about the white people who were beat up at that jazz festival.  Without even knowing what went down that night, this [black] lady says the white people who got beat up "begged for that beatdown" and that she is "grateful for the whole story."  This is not and will not even be mainstream news, but can you imagine if a black man and woman had been beaten up by whites and then a white conservative politician had said something like this? [...] I'll go ahead and assume we're not going to get any hate crime charges here.  Oh, you'll also be glad to know that Victoria [Parks] is not running for reelection.

Bernie Moreno Releases Graphic Photos of Cincinnati Attack Victim After Councilwoman's Disgusting Comment.  Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) has released graphic photos of the victim of a violent attack in Cincinnati after a local city councilwoman claimed she "begged for that beatdown."  In a social media post, Moreno went on to point out that the local prosecutor let the assailants out on just $400 bond.  He also hit Rep. Greg Landsman, a House Democrat who represents the area, for "posting about Ukraine" while remaining silent on the incident.  The victim, who is being referred to only by her first name at this time, was downtown during the annual Jazz Festival to attend a birthday party.  After an altercation between a man and a group of other men, Holly was sucker punched, leaving her incapacitated on the ground and bleeding from the head and mouth.  In the aftermath of the attack, city officials have been defiant, even blaming those who were beaten by the mob.  Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge stated on Monday that videos were being "distorted" and taken out of context.  When pressed about what exactly had been distorted, she refused to say.

White Couple Beaten by Black Mob in Cincinnati Street Attack, Media Stays Quiet.  Police are actively investigating a disturbing incident that occurred in downtown Cincinnati on Friday night, after a video surfaced showing what appears to be a brutal beating involving multiple individuals.  [Advertisement]  The altercation took place between Elm and Fourth Streets and quickly went viral after videos of the incident were posted to social media platforms.  According to FOX 19 in Cincinnati, the footage shows a man in a white t-shirt being shoved to the ground by two men before being repeatedly attacked by a group.

Police Identify Four Suspects in Cincinnati Beatings as Democrat Mayor Finally Responds to Brutal Attacks.  Cincinnati police have identified at least four suspects in the brutal beatings of a white man and white woman by a mostly Black mob Friday night in the downtown area of the city, according to the local Fraternal Order of Police and Fox News.  Videos and screen images of the attack went viral over the weekend, drawing comments from Ohio native Vice President J.D. Vance, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights division Harmeet Dhillon who said she is monitoring the case and Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH).

Update:
Cincinnati Mob Attack Suspect Had Been Freed on Earlier This Month After Being Arrested on Multiple Charges.  With police announcing three arrests so far in a brutal beatdown recorded on the streets of Cincinnati over the weekend, more questions are being asked than answered.  Authorities have not released information on what sparked the violence that has rippled from social media posts to national news, and the city's police chief is outraged not only at the bad publicity, but that the mob scene generated only one 911 call for help.  And a big question being asked is why one of the suspects was loose on the streets in the first place.

The Editor says...
The black mob attack "generated only one 911 call" because (I suspect) there was only one other white person in sight.  The blacks won't call the cops to report other blacks jumping a white couple.

Brutal downtown brawl leaves victims bloodied as Cincinnati police launch investigation.  Police in Cincinnati are investigating a viral video that shows what appears to be a violent brawl in the downtown section of the city.  The fight happened on Friday night, between Elm and Fourth Streets, according to FOX 19 in Cincinnati.  Several videos of the fight have made the rounds on social media.  A man in a white t-shirt appears to be shoved to the ground by two other men and mercilessly beaten.  The video then shows others in the crowd, women included, joining in on the beating.  The man's head appears to be stomped multiple times.

Elon Musk responds to videos of fight in downtown Cincinnati.  A fight in the streets of Cincinnati that went viral this weekend has caught the attention of the world's richest man, Elon Musk, who took to his own platform, X, to comment on the brutality of the attack.  The brawl involving multiple people took place seemingly late at night on Friday, July 25, near the corner of Fourth and Elm streets.  Downtown was teeming with people attending the Cincinnati Music Festival at Paycor Stadium.  Multiple fights broke out after two men had what police called a "verbal altercation."  A woman could be seen in videos of the incident, knocked to the ground, possibly unconscious.  [Video clip]

Kings Island closes early after fights break out among guests.  Several fights broke out among guests Saturday [5/22/2021] inside Kings Island and in the parking lot, forcing the amusement park to close about 30 minutes early, reports say.  Police officers and troopers with the State Highway Patrol responded to the park because of "unruly guests, primarily juveniles," WCPO Channel 9 reports.  The patrol tells the Cincinnati Enquirer that several fights occurred during the afternoon, with a large fight occurring just before 10 p.m.

9 teens arrested after hundreds storm Ohio mall and began fighting.  At least nine minors were arrested for fighting each other and police during a teen rampage at a Cincinnati area mall.  Reports said police were called to the Northgate Mall on Thursday because employees and shoppers were fearful of the hundreds of teens fighting there.  Sources said the massive group busted into the mall all at once, causing chaos and disturbing shoppers.  The single security guard on duty at the time was largely outnumbered and immediately called for backup.

12 arrested after massive fight involving teens breaks out at Northgate Mall, police say.  Eleven juveniles and one adult were arrested after a large fight involving hundreds of kids broke out at the Northgate Mall in Colerain Township on Thursday [12/26/2019].  The fight happened at the mall's food court just before 6 p.m., according to police at the scene.  Police said nearly 200 juveniles were inside the mall at the time of the fight, but it's unclear how many of them were involved in the fight.

Hundreds of teens storm Cincinnati-area mall, start fights, police say.  Police started getting calls about 6 p.m. from frightened shoppers and workers who said they were hiding in fear.  Sgt. Jim Love said Colerain Police made several arrests, and more could be coming after the mall had to be shut down and evacuated.  The young people also stormed nearby streets.  Investigators believe the teens responded to a Facebook post telling people to come to the mall.  "This was a social-media organized situation," Love said.

Violent Black Mobs Beat Up White People In Cincinnati.  The Media Remain Silent.  Several decades ago, an academic named Scott Cummings wrote a book entitled, "Left Behind in Rosedale."  It was about the very rapid decline of a large area in Fort Worth, Texas during the 1970s, as the black population exploded and white residents fled.  It was a very stark transformation:  From 1950 to 1990, Rosedale went from roughly 100% white to more than 80% black.  At the time, pretty much every commentator was describing this phenomenon — which was also taking place all over the country, in hundreds of different cities — as "white flight."  These commentators derided white people as bigots for fleeing the wonders of diversity.  But none of these commentators spent any time investigating what happened to the whites who, for one reason or another, *remained* in urban areas as this demographic shift took place.  Oftentimes, these whites were elderly and poor, so they had no choice but to remain where they were.  What happened to them, Scott Cummings asked?  What he found was that, in no uncertain terms, the remaining white population was terrorized.  They were robbed, sexually assaulted, and beaten, seemingly for sport.  Their homes were torched.  One elderly white man told Cummings he had been stabbed repeatedly by a black man while he was walking on the sidewalk, for no apparent reason.  A white man in his mid-70s was working on his house, using a ladder, when a group of black adolescents approached.  They shook the ladder until he fell off, then beat him with a two-by-four.  From 1977 to 1982, the attacks intensified.

Police Attacked by Black Mob in Cincinnati, Rescued White Man from Beatdown.  Did you see this on the news?  Because I sure didn't.  And even the news reports out there on this downplay or just plain don't mention the white man that was beaten and left in the street by a black mob of about 40.  You want a hate crime?  That's a hate crime.  According to one officer's account online, he was beaten simply because he was white.  You can bet Al Sharpton will not ride to the rescue on this one.

Video of black race rioters brutally beating white man at July 4 gathering taken down by YouTube.  According to a video posted to the Facebook account of QbabyOfTeamQ, a white man attending a July 4 concert in Fountain Square, the heart of downtown Cincinnati, was beaten bloody and unconscious.  Unfortunately, I am not able to embed the video because YouTube has taken it down, with a notice:  "This video has been taken down as a violation of YouTube's policy on shocking and disgusting content."

Cincinnati Mob Beats White Male Victim, "simply for being white", While Rioting In Fountain Square.  The details of a Cincinnati mob riot this weekend appear customarily poured through the MSM PC-filter, receiving editorial board cleanup prior to publication/broadcast.  However, social media accounts, as customary in an era where media are afraid to tell the truth, construct a more honest version of events.

The local police and the news media bend over backwards to avoid stating the obvious.
Six teens attacked man because 'they were just bored,' police say.  Six teenagers "were just bored and were looking for something to do," a police report said, when they ambushed [Pat] Mahaney as he turned off Simpson Avenue onto Dallas Avenue. [...] Several residents called police, noting the suspects are black and inquiring whether Mahaney was specifically targeted because he is white.

The Editor says...
This is the most transparently false cover story I've heard since the crash of American 587. .  How "bored" would you have to be to attack a stranger on the streetcorner and beat him up?  Thugs don't ambush people out of boredom.  They are inner-city predators looking for someone to punch out.  Preferably someone who can't possibly fight back when outnumbered four-to-one.  It's a sport.  It's a hobby.  It's a chest-thumping male dominance ritual.

Update:
Man beaten by 'bored' teens dies 1 year later.  Authorities say the Cincinnati-area man who was badly beaten by six teens almost a year ago in a Cincinnati suburb has died.  Pat Mahaney, 46, died yesterday in the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, said Julie Wilson, spokeswoman for the Hamilton County prosecutor's office.  The six teens, all 13 or 14, injured Mahaney in August and told police they did it because they were bored and looking for something to do.

Police: Taste of Cincinnati was 'general mayhem' Officers report 'numerous incidents' of crime.  It was a "kind of general mayhem."  That's how Central Business District commander Capt. Paul Broxterman is describing several incidents near last weekend's Taste of Cincinnati event.  Police say they were called to some outer areas of the three-day celebration of Cincinnati's eateries to deal with numerous assaults, at least two robberies and even teens throwing rocks at officers.

Female Youth Basketball Team Assault Ref After He Stops Blowout Game.  A brawl after a basketball game in Indiana was caught on camera.  The video shows a referee getting attacked on the court during the Next Level Classic in Fairland, Indiana, on Sunday.  Witnesses are blaming a girls team from Cincinnati.  "They were looking for trouble," Bobby Ewing, coach of the DSB Heat from Owensboro, Kentucky, said.  Ewing said his team was playing the Cincinnati Indians Elite team.  Owensboro was up 41-10 when he said the Cincinnati girls started swearing at his players.  Tensions escalated, and a referee called the game.  [Video clip]

Ohio Democrat tried to trade votes for cash, could get 50 years in prison, authorities say.  A Cincinnati city councilwoman could face up to 50 years in prison after being arrested Tuesday [2/25/2020] on federal corruption charges, authorities say, according to reports.  Shortly after being taken into custody, Tamaya Dennard appeared in court in handcuffs and leg irons to face charges of honest services fraud, bribery and attempted extortion, FOX 19 of Cincinnati reported.

Ohio girl, 13, stabbed to death, and another 13-year-old girl is charged with her murder.  A 13-year-old girl has been charged with murder after police say she stabbed another 13-year-old to death during a fight.  WLWT Channel 5 reports the teen suspect wept Wednesday during her first court appearance.  She is accused of killing Nyaira Givens, 13, on Monday, and is facing two counts of murder and one count of felonious assault, Fox 19 reports.  Police tell the Cincinnati Enquirer that officers were called to a residence in the Winton Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati just after 9 p.m. Monday.  The stabbing occurred in a green space between two homes, the Enquirer reports.

The War On Cops: Cincinnati Is Ground Zero.  Ryan Hinton was an 18-year-old black man living in Cincinnati, Ohio.  On May 1, 2025, he and three friends were pulled over by the police in a vehicle the police officers believed was stolen.  The four youths took off running.  The two police officers who had made the stop pursued on foot.  Seconds later, Hinton appeared from between two dumpsters with a semi-automatic pistol in his hand and pointing it at one of the police officers.  He was shot dead.  On May 2, 2025, the police showed Hinton's parents body cam footage taken by one of the officers, clearly showing their son holding a pistol.  The weapon was recovered from the scene.  The father, Rodney Hinton, Jr., was upset.  So, later that day, he got in his car and ran over a sheriff's deputy directing traffic outside a University of Cincinnati graduation event.  The officer was killed.  Other members of the Hinton family were in another vehicle following Rodney Hinton, Jr., when he ran over the police officer.  It is unclear if they knew what Hinton was going to do in advance.  Rodney Hinton, Jr., is now being charged with murder and may face the death penalty.

Cincinnati Station Says 'No' to PC Reporting on Racially Motivated Crime.  A remarkable thing happened in Cincinnati on Thursday [6/12/2014].  WKRC-TV, which has taken to calling itself "Local 12," did a story on the growing problem of black-on-white teen mob violence — and called it black-on-white teen mob violence.  The event where the violence occurred took place two weeks earlier during Memorial Day weekend at the city's Taste of Cincinnati event downtown.

Indictment in beating of Joe Deters' son.  Because they are accused of hurling racial epithets at two white men before beating them, five black males were charged Tuesday [7/15/2014] with ethnic intimidation and other crimes in the May beating of Jonathan Deters, son of Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters.  "We believe the sole motivation (for the alleged attack) was because of the color of their skin," Assistant Ohio Attorney General Daniel "Woody" Breyer said of the incident.  Witnesses told police, Breyer said, the five adults and one juvenile charged in Deters' beating said, "let's get the (epithet) white guy.  And minutes later:  "There's another one," when they spotted another white man whom police allege was beaten by the same five.

Federal Judge Who Outlawed Racial Profiling is Victim of Black Mob Violence.  Federal Judge Susan Dlott wrote the book on racial profiling in 2002.  Last week, she ripped it into one million tiny pieces when three black people broke into her $8 million Cincinnati home and started beating her and her 79-year old husband.  "There's three black men with guns at our house," Dlott told a 911 operator after she escaped the home invasion and ran to her neighbor's house one mile away.  And just in case the operator did not hear her the first time, Dlott said it again:  "My husband and the dogs are still there.  There are three black men with guns and masks at the house."  That's Racial Profiling 101:  Identifying the criminals by race, as if that had something to do with it.

One dead and 15 injured after two gunmen open fire on revelers at a nightclub in Cincinnati.  A 27-year-old man was shot dead inside a packed Cincinnati nightclub early Sunday morning after gunfire erupted inside the crowded venue leaving another 15 people injured.  Cincinnati police Chief Eliot Isaac said during a news conference that 27-year-old O'Bryan Spikes, a father-of-three, died in the horrific shooting at the Cameo club on Kellogg Avenue in the city.  Isaac said the shooting, which is not terrorism related, was reported just after 1 am as police believe multiple shots were fired from more than one firearm.  No arrests have been made related to the incident.

Cincinnati nightclub shooting:  At least 1 dead, 15 people shot at venue.  Several unidentified shooters opened fire at a Cincinnati nightclub early Sunday, killing one person and wounding 15 others, officials said.  The shooters escaped the melee at club Cameo and they remained on the run Sunday.  "Several local men got into some type of dispute inside the bar and it escalated into shots being fired from several individuals," Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac said during a Sunday news conference.

The Editor says...
Use your favorite search engine and look up "Club Cameo Cincinnati," then click on the Images tab and observe that there appears to be nobody associated with the club who is not black.  And yet the word black is completely absent from all the media coverage of this incident.

3 killed, suspect dead after shooting in Cincinnati's Fountain Square, police chief says.  At least three people were killed in a shooting Thursday [9/6/2018] at the Fifth Third Center in Cincinnati's Fountain Square, Cincinnati police Chief Eliot Isaac said.  The suspect is also dead, Isaac said.

Fired Little Caesars Pizza employee shoots manager after she isn't rehired: court docs.  An employee recently fired from Little Caesars Pizza tried to get her job back this week but wound up shooting and critically wounding the manager instead, court records show.  Cincinnati police arrested 27-year-old Angel Kidd on a felonious assault charge.  They booked her into the Hamilton County Justice Center shortly after 1 p.m. Thursday.  Kidd's bond was set at $500,000 during her arraignment on Friday.

The Editor says...
Several other articles about this incident can be found online, [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] but none of them mention the name, gender, or description of the manager.  We can therefore safely assume that the manager is a white male.

Mass Shooting In Dowtown Cincinnati Leaves 9 Shot, Gunman On The Loose.  At least nine people were hit in a mass shooting in a packed bar area in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio early Sunday — with the gunman fleeing despite being shot at by a responding cop, officials said.  The carnage outside a bar at 1:40 a.m. created such chaos, responding officers had to fire flash bangs to clear crowds and get to the injured, Lt. Colonel Mike John said at the scene.

A Mob Of Black Teens Brutally Assault A Random White Man In Cincinnati.  A white guy was ambushed and brutally assaulted by a mob of black teens in Cincinnati on Thursday.  CPD Lt. Jonathan Cunningham said two people — 18-year-old Jadin Shaw and a 14-year-old boy — have been arrested for the assault.  Both are charged with robbery, according to the incident report.  Both are already back on the streets.  [Video clip]





The 2001 Cincinnati Riots:

Some of the articles in this subsection have disappeared, but they have been left in place as invisible HTML comments.

ACLU approves landmark police deal:  A proposed settlement to a racial profiling lawsuit against Cincinnati police was approved today by the American Civil Liberties Union, the last party in the case to ratify the deal.

Vine Street:  What was the excuse this time?  There was no police shooting, no reverends shouting for justice this time — just 300 black people blocking Vine Street on Monday night [4/15/2002], pelting cars with rocks, bottles and eggs and yelling "get whitey."  Some cities would call that a riot.  Cincinnati didn't even call it a "disturbance."  The headline over a 3-inch story in the Enquirer the next day said, "Fight draws crowd; police close street."

The media's role in the Cincinnati race riotsCould Cincinnati's race riots been averted? Perhaps — if the media had promptly and properly done their job.  Instead of citing 15 police killings of blacks, the media could have emphasized that in 11 of those previous shootings, the police were fully justified; that in two, officers were killed or maimed by the person they shot.  In only two were the police apparently mistaken.

Riot Ideology and De-Policing:  A Seattle policeman explained de-policing as:  "Parking under a shady tree to work on a crossword puzzle is a great alternative to being labeled a racist and being dragged through an inquest, a review board, an FBI and U.S. attorney investigation, and a lawsuit."  According to columnist John Leo, that's precisely what's happening in Cincinnati in the wake of the city's recent riots.  There's less patrolling to prevent low-level crimes.  Policemen await 911 calls.  As a result, crime soars.

"De-policing" may be the response to racial profiling study.

Blacks pay dearly for riots.

Police frustration brings slowdown:  It's been almost three months since Cincinnati was gripped by race riots after police shot a fleeing man who was wanted on 14 misdemeanor warrants.  The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that "Cincinnati police are so demoralized that they are ignoring some minor crimes and looking for jobs in the suburbs."  Arrests are down 35%, and revenue from traffic tickets has fallen by about three-fourths.
