City asks quick end to investigation
I am glad Valerie Lemmie did not try and change anything under the onslaught of the black community's irrational fervor. Also, I again have to go out of the city's media outlets to find this news story.

Library Postpones Branch Closures
Public pressure works! I don't know if these branches are worth keeping open, but I think the library system needs more funding.

Special Forces soldier charged in wife's slaying
Both the Soldier and his late wife were from Mason. Adding trouble to this story is the fact that he had returned from Afghanistan just a month before the murder of his wife.

Airport Rage Suspect Speaks Out
Why use the term "Rage?" This sounds like an ass with anger problems. If he loses his lawyer because he kept yelling at him, then I think he tends to get pissed very easily. This "road rage" rip-off is just an example of bad journalism. It is fear mongering.

IBM to exit downtown for 'burbs - 2002-07-22 - Cincinnati Business Courier
I wonder if the boycotters like this idea? If they thought about it they would understand that this at a minimum reduces city income tax revenue, which hurts city programs. Or is this their goal? Get all non "African-American Owned" companies out of the city?

Fight at cinema prompts security
Sounds like a big nothing of a fight. I want to know what movies everyone was going to or coming from.

CityBeat: Block Power (2002-07-18)
I think this should be called "Black Power", which may have been the intent of the writer. "Black Power" is what consider similar if not synonymous with "black nationalism" or "black separatism." I don't think equity is sought by Lynch III, I think segregation from whites is what he would be happiest having. Some extremists in the black community want to be control of the society. I feel that a majority of blacks today do want some kind of "revenge". That revenge would take many different forms for many different people. The boycott is revenge, the riot was revenge, reparations are revenge, and making whites feel guilty for what some whites did over 100 years ago is revenge.

Flannery seems to be on a "process" kick in covering local news and politics. Whenever you mention Robert’s Rules of Order you are getting technical with your readers. I doubt most people know what those are and what they are used for, other than Mr. Robert's Order.

Congregations oppose boycott
I am surprised that the at the split in this generally liberal Christain church, but I welcome those who have seen the light.

Channel Cincinnati - Statement From Twitty, Attorney
Attorney Sharon J. Zealey: Lt. Colonel Twitty has asked me to make this statement as his counsel in order to speak out regarding the recent suspension and investigation.
Lt. Colonel Twitty left his home just before 7 a.m. on the Fourth of July. He found damage to the front driver's side corner of his police vehicle. He immediately reported the damage to the police by telephone and waited for them to arrive. An investigator and a supervisor arrived about 40 minutes after the initial report. Lt. Colonel Twitty gave the officers information about himself, about the vehicle, and about his discovery of the damage to the vehicle. He stayed to see if investigators needed anything further from him and they did not. He then departed to join friends for a round of golf while they continued the investigation.
He was not interviewed further about the damage to the car until yesterday, almost two weeks later. The only bits of so-called incriminating evidence are the lack of debris at the scene of the damage and Lt. Colonel Twitty's failure to report the damage to the chief directly. The lack of debris proves nothing. Failure to report the damage to the chief is not a crime, nor is it proof of a crime.
Police policies on discipline require both fairness and consistency. We don't believe that the pubic announcement of these allegations coupled with Lt. Colonel Twitty's suspension and referral for criminal investigation is consistent or fair based on past similar incidents.
A reasonable person need only look to the flat tire as proof that Lt. Colonel Twitty is innocent. Since the tire was flat, how could he have driven home without damaging the tire rim? It's a fact that the tire rim was not damaged. The police report itself states that the damage to the vehicle was disabling. This generally means that the vehicle cannot be driven. If Lt. Colonel Twitty had anything to hide, why would he go golfing as the investigators spent hours investigating the damage to the vehicle? Why hasn't the possibility of vandalism been investigated? There have been many innuendos about Lt. Colonel Twitty's activities the night before the damage was discovered. That night, he was with numerous friends who are also employed with the Cincinnati Police Division. One thing is clear: sobriety is a non-issue.
Lt. Colonel Twitty has devoted 29 years of his career to upholding and enforcing the law. He has been suspended and his career damaged based on the flimsiest of inferences. It is hard to imagine that his career will not be permanently damaged by this criminal referral and suspension by Chief Streicher. We expect the criminal investigation by the Sheriff's office will be completed quickly and fairly with no finding of criminal conduct by Lt. Colonel Twitty. Thereafter Chief Streicher should conclude any internal investigation forthwith. Lt. Colonel Twitty wants to return to work.
Justice demands and we fully expect that when the investigation is closed that Lt. Colonel Twitty will be publicly exonerated, with an apology, and that he will be promptly returned to duty.
By Lt. Colonel Twitty: First and always, all praises to the father. I deeply appreciate the prayers and support of so many members of my family, my church family, my police supporters, friends and agencies and groups like the Community Action Agency, NAACP, and Urban League. I have placed these troubles in God's hands and have full confidence that I will be able to return to my important duties very soon.
Comments: This is sad, nothing but a PR stunt to taint the jury pool. Twitty has lost all respect. I will be amazed to hear how the black community eats this up like lemmings.

Boycotters hope to silence Soulfest
This does nothing for the boycott but take away from the black community. There would not be any large number of non-blacks at this event. The only ones losing are those who would have attended the concert.

SMITH AMOS: Making progress
This is not progress. This is making a bad situation worse. The black community seems to see only one thing according to Ms. Smith Amos, white man bad and is out to get the blacks. Ms. Smith Amos seems to be in favor of the boycott and appears to think it is good for business. When the Ad revenue drops more as business dries up, her employer may be looking to lay off a columnist or two.

Luken 'embarrassed' by Twitty case
Twitty should be embarrassed by the Twitty case. Chaz should just let the fascist Leis do what he has to do.

Twitty's suspension 'total attack,' daughter says
Putting your family out to run interference for you? Twitty is quickly losing the respect he had for his 29 years of service to the city. If Twitty has nothing to hide he would not need to place the race card, he would only have to rely on the truth. I think his problem is that the truth will convict him of a crime and remove him permanently from the police force.
