Luckily my 5 year old and I left the Reds game around 10:15. I could tell there was a different vibe on the square when we were walking to the game. On the way home walking up Main Street, I saw 2 men squaring off and ready to fight. If we had stayed for the fireworks we would have been there around the time the cops arrived.

The videos show that how ever many officers there were they needed more.

 

When you have an out of control mob you never have enough.

Supposedly there is a facebook post by an officer involved with 'the facts'.

Exactly. They need more.

This was in the post BBFan posted, I think this is what you are referring to...two words "edited" to BGP standards below.

 

So after my 4th of July night from hell I thought I would post the truth as to what went on last night in Downtown Cincinnati. Many news outlets although they were there will fail to report...The Truth. The truth is I'm sitting in the district catching up on reports when an officer needs assistance comes out over the radio on Fountain Square. My partner and I scream down there to help out. I get down there to see glass bottles flying everywhere from a mob of out of control misguided youths. Okay that was a nice way of saying a bunch of thug idiots. They thought it would be appropriate to throw these bottles at police officers. While dodging these bottles I found one officer that was actually punched in the face by one of these assholes. Luckily he was apprehended. This was just getting started.

We were trying to keep everyone under control and push everyone into one area to get them off of Fountain Square. So then is when the crowd got even further crazy, they began throwing large fireworks at us. While trying to figure out if fireworks or gunshots, usually you could tell, but we weren't taking any chances. I look down 5th st to see a few of my brothers and sisters trying to apprehend an individual and begin chasing him. I immediately give chase and even though I'm getting a little older still catch the guy and he gets the 5 second taser ride. This seems easy enough right...well now we've got the whole crowd bearing down on us all with their phones out video taping...or throwing stuff at us. (Later found out that this guy also punched a police officer in the face)

We get this guy in custody, and it's the second year in a row I have a tasing in this area on July 4th...guess it's just not my day. So then we form into riot formation with helmets on and begin passing out the shields. Honestly this was the first time I got to partake in this. So we see ahead a scuffle begin and think it's just a fight. Well not so much, it was like 40 v. 1. I saw 40 v. 1, it was 40 black youths stomping the crap out of one unlucky male white. He didn't do anything to deserve this beating except be white. I'm going to skip all the rhetoric and just say don't we all matter??? This just "ticked" us all off. Time to rescue or at least try to get these thugs off of him. So we were sent in with shields and arrest team to do a victim rescue. Feel bad for the guy since he nor anyone deserved a beat down like that for no reason. The next hour or so was just getting these assholes out of the area and back to where they came from. I hope every one of the people who threw a bottle, fired a handgun, threw fireworks at us, and most importantly beat that poor guy within inches of his life get what they deserve...in this life or the next.

To make matters worse it was like a perfect storm with the Reds game getting let out at the same time we were for a lack of a better phrase, being attacked. I saw little kids holding their parents hands and parents looking at us like what the hell is going on? They had no clue what was going down nor should they have to expect seeing what they saw.

I felt like I had to tell the truth and get the word out there from one of the men on the front line. We as an American Society and Cincinnatians need to get our "crap" together because these types of interactions are going to increase. I say it again, this stuff is increasing not only here at home but across the country. We need to come together and fight back.

21-yr-old who is accused of punching the officer has a $51k bond.

Why not just make SOP full gear and sheilds in a situation like this ? (I know why, because we have politicians that will make it be "overkill" or "abuse of authority")

 

I have been outspoken about my general mistrust of some organizations. At some point we have to listen to society and wrestle the peace back from the mobs and thugs...

After watching that video, I really don't feel bad for the dude. Yes he got jumped, yeah it wasn't a fair fight, but how idiotic is that guy? You just got beat down by a mob of people, and you come back for more acting all big and tough?

So you are ok with people randomly beating the heck out of each other?

No not at all. Believe me, I think anyone who gets in a fight is an idiot. This started as one on one, and then he got jumped once they were on the ground. I felt bad for the guy up until the point that it was over and he came walking back wanting more. At that point my sympathy ceases and my "chalk it up to dude being a moron" stance takes over.

How can you honestly feel that way? He was ticked, and I'm sure he wasn't thinking straight as he got beat by a bunch of thugs, I'm sure his bell was rung.

 

With the others jumping in this was nothing other than a racial attack! They had no idea what the fight was about they just saw a black guy beating on a white guy and just joined in. Same if it would have been whites jumping in to help to beat a black guy, it's racism pure and simple.

When you don't have enough "soldiers" nothing is going to work... However, I think Tech will solve this issue moving forward. In the future the Police will take up safe/defensive positions while they use multiple drones and facial recognition technology to identify all the perpetrators and then the criminal justice system will come together to vigorously punish the offenders.

 

After a couple of cities take the technological plunge and put malcontents in jail for a few months all the cities will be doing it and the bad guys will definitely stop this behavior.

 

I can see it now, we will all go to CincinnatiRiots.com and view all the perpetrators, there will be rewards for the unknowns, there will be updated punishment information, and the city will show off our all their successes. We have the technology, we have the capability, and now we need Lee Majors to promote it.
