More race crap.  Just skimming the article, I see mention of black men etc multiple times.

ie, Thomas is the fifth black male since September to die while being pursued or taken into custody by Cincinnati police officers.


Wonder if Jesse is on his way to Cincinnati now?

This might be the only way we'll ever know what Cinci would like like if the Bengals won the Super Bowl. [:D]

I think is funny that to protest social injustice they burn and loot their own neighborhood. I just don't understand!!!

I could never understand myself the point of destroying your own town over anything.  It's like killing yourself to protest suicide.

They burn and loot their own neighborhood because that is the only place that will tolerate that kind of behavior.

Of course, you'd have to have visited [b]every[/b] city in the USA to know that.  I'll assume you've been around. [;)]

Why didn't the Feds go after Cincinnati's police department the way they went after Columbus's?

The cop screwed up big time.  Whether it's reason to start a riot I couldn't say, but any riot is reason to keep your AR at the ready.  As long as Cinnci keeps their trouble down there and it doesn't wander up 71 towards Columbus I'll be happy.  Defending you property and life has nothing to do with race.

Yeah I see the racism happening all the time here. Just look at all those rioters attacking white people. Oh wait, when a black person attacks a white person because he is white it is not considered racism. Sorry I forgot.

Here is a link to more info

i lived in that area for many years(10)and what suprises me is that it's taken this long for the people to fight back.this is just the latest in a long line of unarmed blacks who have been shot,beat and/or strangled to death while in the custody of cincinnati's finest.new york city has nothing on cincy in this regard,you just hear about it more when it happens in the big city.the Over The Rhine area where this is happening is a mixed neighborhood(down and out ain't got no color)that gets along just fine with each other.this isn't a black againist white issue but one of police(both black & white)murdering unarmed civilians.just my $0.02.mmk

Racism is colorless and does not know political affilliation. it may be that cinncinati might have racists, but i dont see how the destruction of personal property and beating up white people shows others why racism is wrong.

it seems to me people just want an excuse to smash stuff.


non-racist lib out...

I live so close to Cincinnati that I got a great view of the skyline from my back yard! I rarely cross over into Ohio beacause of the CCW laws, so I stay in Ky and feel a lot safer. Ohio needs a CCW to prevent this mass act of lawlessness.

Just heard the mayor give a speech on the radio.  He announced a city wide curfew. No one is allowed on the streets between 8pm and 6am walking or driving unless they are going or coming from work. Concerts and activities for the weekend have been canceled and they are talking with the national guard about helping out. He said it depends on how it goes tonight wither or not they call in the National Guard and he also compared what is going on in Cinci right now with Beirut.

Matt,

You have me. I have NOT been in EVERY city in Amerika. I have been in 49 states, 8 foreign countries, 3 continents, but NOT every US city.

I dont know why they wont, but I DO know what goes on there. Is this an answer? NO!

This is more like.. Brutality and injustice for all....
