July 21, 201511 yr Did any one read the article?? This was the third killing by a Campus cop since 1997. The last one was in 2011. I'm guessing that is more killings than most local law enforcement forces have seen with the exception of the inner city squads. I saw one died as a result of being Tasered I would guess he had an underlying medical condition I'm not sure. But using the Taser it would seem as if they were trying "Not" to kill that person. Yet the Dept quit using them after paying off the family.

July 21, 201511 yr Author One of those deaths was with the use of a taser. Correct and now they are not allowed to use them.
July 21, 201511 yr Author Same thing is generally true of Airport Police Officers and to a lesser extent Sheriff's Departments that get stuck patrolling rural areas. Deep down in every real cop wants to be a city Cop. In what city? Fort Thomas or Cincinnati?
July 21, 201511 yr In what city? Fort Thomas or Cincinnati? To each their own. You certainly pointed out two extremes of city policing.

I'm guessing that is more killings than most local law enforcement forces have seen with the exception of the inner city squads. I'm not surprised by this. What are the stats compared to Cincinnati PD proper ? UC does sit right in the middle of some of the best criminal enterprises in the city.
July 21, 201511 yr Same thing is generally true of Airport Police Officers and to a lesser extent Sheriff's Departments that get stuck patrolling rural areas. Deep down in every real cop wants to be a city Cop. I wonder why more Troopers don't make the jump to the big leagues and become City Cops where back up is just 60 seconds (at most) away and there are only a few square miles to patrol. FWIW I dont' know a single cop that has watched the news and wish they were a City Cop in Baltimore or St Louis. #BluevsGreyvsBrown Just giving you a hard time

Apples and Oranges and you didn't see me including them...
July 21, 201511 yr State Troopers are more like Superman. Apples and Oranges and you didn't see me including them... Nice save. I guess it depends from city to city and county to county.
July 21, 201511 yr Nice save. I guess it depends from city to city and county to county. I hear you, people don't know what they don't know.
July 21, 201511 yr News finally hit CNN. Surprised it didn't show up there earlier. Police officer shoots man to death in Cincinnati - CNN.com
July 21, 201511 yr Author To each their own. You certainly pointed out two extremes of city policing. Never figured out why Fort Thomas cops made so much more than Covington cops.
July 21, 201511 yr Remember, UC has a police department, he was not public safety. A UC PD officer is just like any other PD officer out enter. NKU used to have public safety, then switched to a PD force years ago.
July 21, 201511 yr A little is fine. Three miles outside a campus jurisdiction is farther than a little. That's like 15 blocks. I thought someone said he was within his jurisdiction...
July 21, 201511 yr I work very close to UC campus. Most of the areas surrounding UC's campus are bad neighborhoods. When I get off work late at night, I often see young college women walking to off campus parties apparently completely unaware of their surroundings. Personally, if I had a kid attending UC, I would be very glad UC Police had a 3 mile from campus jurisdiction. I have had a lot of interaction with UC Police over my years of employment. I have no idea what went on in this case, but I will give the officer the benefit of a doubt until proven otherwise.
