Covington, Kentucky Police Brutal Assualt On Protesters!

This is America.

The controversy in Cincinnati.

Rodney Hinton, Jr. killed a Hamilton County, Ohio sheriff's deputy after the Cincinnati Police killed his son Ryan in a police shooting.

Hinton was triggered by police officers using the "fear for their lives" excuses.

Police officers have used physical or deadly force whenever they are encountering suspects. Or in this case, peaceful protesters.

A handful of protesters stage a protest at the Roebling Bridge protesting ICE detaining a chaplin who was arrested after leaving a Homeland Security office in Blue Ash, Ohio.

The chaplin, Ayman Soliman who worked at Cincinnati Children's is currently at the Richard K. Jones Detention Center in Butler County.

Thr protests started from Freedom Plaza in downtown Cincinnati and made to the Roebling Bridge. As soon as they crossed the Ohio River, the Covington, Kentucky police met with violence.

A Covington police officer was placed on administrative duty after a clash with protesters on the Roebling Bridge Thursday night.

Protesters with Ignite Peace Cincy started to gather Thursday night at the Sing the Queen City sign in Cincinnati to call for his release.

The protest started as a peaceful gathering, but took a turn when protesters crossed the bridge, with some of them in the road.

Fifteen people are facing charges in the incident, ranging from unlawful assembly, failure to disperse, obstructing a highway and criminal mischief. Two journalists were among the people arrested and charged.

At one point during the protest, video appears to show a black SUV drive onto the Roebling Bridge, with people in yellow safety vests and face masks grabbing on to the car to get the driver to stop.

Covington police said officers spoke with the driver of the SUV, saying he did not have an obligation to stop.

Covington Police on the Roebling Suspension Bridge teach unlawful protestors a valuable lesson by handing out equal rights and lefts.

Pro tip: your protest becomes unlawful when you infringe on the rights of another citizen or you break the law.

Initially, protesters were seen walking in the middle of the bridge, but some people said they stuck to the sidewalks and were approached by officers.

During the tense confrontation, attempts to detain protesters ended with physical confrontations. One video shows a woman being pulled to the ground by officers.

Covington police said Friday that one officer who was seen punching a protester was placed on administrative duty as the department investigates the response.

"We have opened an investigation into that," Covington police chief Brian Valenti said. "I don't want to speculate as to how that's going to turn out."

The Covington officer will continue to be paid while the investigation plays out and will perform administrative tasks within the department.

And you wonder why Rodney Hinton did what he did?

Body camera video from the incident shows officers walking up to protesters on bicycles who were in the middle of the road. Police are heard telling them to move or they would be arrested.

"While the department supports the public's right to peaceful assembly and expression, threatening officers and blocking critical infrastructure, such as a major bridge, presents a danger to all involved," Covington police said in a statement.

Valenti said the last Covington police officer who died while on the force fell from the Roebling Bridge while trying to arrest someone in 1998, so the department makes officers aware of the dangers of that bridge.

You heard the statement from the Covington Police. It is a damn cop out. If the protesters were on the Interstate 75 freeway blocking traffic, then yeah, they can hit them up with the impeding critical infrastructure.

Yeah, screaming at police is protected speech. Police officers should not be triggered by words. If the suspect doesn't commit an act of violence towards the police, they should remain professional.

It is best to film police. President Donald J. Trump stated in his 2019 speech about roughing up people. Trump gave America the greenlight to commit violence.

Since his return, the decline of the United States has excelled.
