  I hadn't heard of it but one of the guys at the station was talking about it tonight.
I did find this AP story

That is the first I have heard of it in the news. It is infuriating that anyone much less as many people as it took to pull this off could think that luring police officers into a trap and attempting to murder them is morally acceptable.  How are the CPD supposed to respond to emergencies in these communities in a "less aggressive" manner (per DOJ review) while at the same time being able to keep themselves safe from attacks like this?





I hope that those in the media who have stirred all of this up feel some moral responsibility for incidents like this because they certainly should.  I swear that some of them won't be happy until parts of our city resemble a third world war zone.

BOHICA



The community relations commission that has been "agreed" to based on the Fed's findings that our police are too aggressive has been formed.  One of the members Reverend Jimmy Gates is a felon, convicted on bribery/public corruption related charges 8 years ago, and mortgage fraud (to the tune of $5.1 million) just 3 years ago.  Apparently Mayor Jackson is aware of his criminal history and just doesn't seem to care:




A statement sent to Fox 8 News read in part, "I was aware of Reverend
Gates’ past conviction, but what speaks louder than his conviction is
his decade of service to the City of Cleveland.” Mayor Jackson said, "He
represents those who have made a mistake, paid their debt to society
and used that lesson to empower others..”

His decade of "service" during which time he was whoring out his position and power as the assistant chief of the Division of Water for personal gain.  What could go wrong with this guy Mr. Mayor?  He said that he feels bad about it so I guess it's okay right?




Jimmy Lee Gates, 50, the highest ranking official
convicted in a long-running federal investigation into corruption in the
department. Gates was an assistant chief who oversaw about 200 workers
until he resigned in late October. He had worked for the department for
26 years. Pleaded guilty Dec. 7, 2007 to splitting bribes with another
city worker. Gates was sentenced to 19 months in prison.

A top-level Cleveland Water Department manager and a retired water
supervisor face charges that they took thousands of dollars in bribes
from a contractor in return to approving inflated invoices.  


An indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court accused
Assistant Division Chief Jimmy Lee Gates and maintenance supervisor
Oscar Wells of splitting a $40,000 bribe from contractor Liberator Noce
in 2003.

Not one person on the commission has any law enforcement experience (except for having been arrested).

From the looks of it they will have our police officers wearing pink uniforms and driving Prius's in no time...

So now convicted felons are going to advise the police on how to better do their job.  On the other side of the coin, it seems Chicago is close to calling in troops rather than let their police do what needs to be done.

I am certain that this will not play out well for our police department, its officers, The City of Cleveland, or its residents...

It was a roof fire above a bar and high end apartments.
