Tony BO6,
i've lived in Madisonville, Silverton, Forest Park, Woodlawn, and Springdale, twice. i thank you for your support if i move intown and run
Ladygreek, it's people like that that don't help solve the very real problem of police brutality.
i do believe that Mr. Jones was in the wrong AND the CPD were in the wrong as well. Tasers? Stun guns? perhaps they should've been used and could've helped in that situation. i'm not a police officer but i've read they are used by other police departments.
i'm looking at this from a "numbers" perspective. i would like to know how many unarmed belligerent/drunken/high white males have died while in police custody in this city (i pay attention to the news and i believe it's a low number). in this city, far too many unarmed Black males have suffered Death By Police. unless i see unbiased stats that show a similar number of dead white men as Black men due to the same circumstances, i will not bend on this.
a question: why do people always feel that the police are right each and every time and w/every situation? i read enough newspapers and watch enough news stories to know that's not true.
an aside: i'm not anti-police. i am pro- good police. i had a great experience riding w/a Cinti Police officer for a day and would do it again in a heartbeat.
