Downtown alive for next two weekends
Downtown was hopping today. The line waiting for lunch was longer than usual from the convention in town. I hope this can make up for the mindless boycott.

FOP, Lemmie battle brewing
The FOP is not going to get much support for their Union cause. They can only count on the die-hard police backers, and even they will not expend much capital on this one. Here is where Fangman and his right wing political views lose him traditional union support. Lemmie is making the right choice, and the FOP is stuck with it.

Report on police not conclusive
City Manager Lemmie is still going to conduct an outside study of this "problem." This "study" will find nothing. This study will not compile evidence of wrongdoing. It looks at policy. The discipline polices are not the problem. The only possible problem is the manner in which those policies are administered. The initial report confirms no wide pattern exists, just that black officers either commit more or are cite for committing more policy infractions than non-black officers, by percentage. There will be no finding that blacks are being “mistreated.” I would bet the numbers are consistent with overall criminal infractions in the general population as well.

Bomb scare prompts evacuation
This story did NOT appear in the Cincinnati Enquirer. There were wire stories about two planes with "terrorist" scares on them, but the Enquirer failed to have a story about this Ohio incident. They could have skipped on picture of a flag for some news. Instead they are falling into the local TV news trap.

Outside Expert: Police Officer Killed Roger Owensby
This is the story that will be filling 1230 the Buzz's programming tomorrow. I do not know the facts of the Jorge case to know what this matters. I am sure many will be out looking for him to be retried. I do not know why this report was requested by the city. I assume as part of the civil case, and not criminal proceedings. I would guess that no additional criminal charges will be filed and/or Jorge will not be retried.

Lawsuit Dropped Against Cincinnati's Vice Mayor
Ok Mr. TV Reporter, why did they drop the lawsuit, or rather were any reasons given as to why the suit was being dropped? This suit was paper thin, and a bit of a set up by Ken Lawson, but it was made into a Federal case, literally. A civil RICO case, I did not even know that was possible. I guess Alicia Reese was not so brash when she was calling for Assistant City Solicitor Fagal's job on a platter. I wonder if 1230 the Buzz will bring this story to light; after all they had facilitated the near public conviction of her by their callers.
