A twist on the Cincinnati shootings......

[thefantom1]

I got this in an email..........and found it kinda thought provoking..






WHITE MAN SHOT BY POLICE, CONFUSION REIGNS
>
>Police in Cincinnati, Ohio shot and killed a white man today, plunging the
>police department into chaos and confusion.
>
>Police officials reported, "We don't know what to do. There's no forms for
>this kind of thing. Normally we've got fifteen levels of review, but we
>don't know what to do now. Hell, the Justice Department hasn't even called
>to ream us out."
>
>Precinct commanders dispatched riot units, but not a single case of looting
>or property destruction was reported. One white man was given a ticket for
>spitting on the sidewalk and two other whites were detained for crossing
>against a red light.
>
>One police officer was quoted as saying, "It's damned scary how quiet it
>is. It's almost like everyone is going on with their business like normal.
>Freaky."
>
>The Mayor of Cincinnati's office was also embroiled in turmoil. "We're
>actively seeking someone with whom to engage a series of dialogues to,
>uhhh, do something about, umm, this."
>
>So far, no person or group has accepted the Mayor's offer to "enter into
>dialogue" about the shooting or its effect on the community. The Mayor's
>office did report they received three phone calls wondering when the
>Cincinnati Reds' next home game would be.

I was in oxford, ohio this past year at my college (its 30 mins from Cinci) when this happened..Oxford is a small college town so all the cops are well known in the town (especially to the college kids )

anyways, turns out the most hated dickhead cop in Oxford is the father of the cop in cincinnati that shot the black man..

The son went to high school in Oxford growing up so I knew some people that went to school with him and knew him. They all said he was a redneck, prejudice kid while in high school.

Now I'm not saying his shooting the black man had anything to do with that, i'm not God, but then again, all the locals in Oxford said they werent suprised..

that was thought provoking for me
