| Cincinnati Police face numerous controversies. One recent one was a cop uttering a racial slur to a woman he arrested. |
First things first, according to the junk food media, a high ranking officer was suspended. Mike Savard, the captain of the force was pulled from the beat and stripped of his rank for reasons unknown to the junk food media.
Two officers who were on the vice squad were stripped of their powers. See above. They are under federal watch. This officers are involved in stopping drug trafficking, prostitution and gambling.
The vice officers weren't identified.
A veteran member of the Cincinnati Police Department was recently arrested and has his police powers after he was accused of refusing to identify himself to a fellow officer during a crash investigation in a local neighborhood.
Andre Smith, a sergeant was arrested for failure to disclose information at the scene of crash. The cop crashed into another driver and put him in the hospital. Smith was possibly under influence of alcohol.
Some of the issues that police chief Eliot Isaac is facing includes turning a blind eye to corruption within the department.
Cincinnati Police also now have a big scandal on their hands. The incidents where white officers were using racial slurs towards suspects and fellow officers.
An lieutenant at the center of a lawsuit calling her "vindictive and openly racist" filed a lawsuit against the agency. Danita Pettis filed a lawsuit in federal court back in November. She accused white officers Tamera Brown and Joy Ludgatis of racism as well. The two women filed a lawsuit against Pettis in June claiming that a hostile work environment. Pettis believe the police union only plays favorites on both sides of the fence.
Pettis is accused of being a racial quota. She was promoted to rank of lieutenant despite having a shoddy background.
Only a few weeks ago, two officers were caught on body camera calling Black woman they apprehended a NIGGER.
The officer Dennis Barnette was arresting a woman at the Brownstone Nightclub when he used the slur against the woman. Barnette slammed the woman to the police cruiser and uttered the word while the woman was crying in pain.
The woman was accused of assaulting a police officer. The charges were dropped. Now the NAACP is involved and demand that Barnette and his partner involved to be fired out the cannon.
Trust me, since the death of Timothy Thomas in 2001, the Cincinnati Police have been struggling to clean house. One of their dispatchers ended up failing a teenager who was trapped in his vehicle. An officer used the Taser on a little girl who he accused of shoplifting out of a grocery store.
The Cincinnati Police continue to be a burden on people of color. Even with the decrease in violence, the agency can't muster enough time to fix these problems.
There is a federal investigation into the whole department. It's considered a "felony theft." The new policy, released in weekly staff notes, essentially instruct police officials to use sound management principals of on-duty personnel and union contract provisions to control and reduce overtime expenditures in delivery of police services.
Under Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, the U.S. Justice Department did launch investigations into police departments like Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Chicago and New Orleans.
