• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's seven oh six here, fifty five carc Detalk Station.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Not gonna wait for it, just gonna go ahead and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: jump on in cause Signal ninety nine as returned to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the fifty five cares See Morning Show as promised. Now,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: always start up by recommending if you're on Facebook, and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I know only old geezers like me apparently on Facebook
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and wonderful people like Signal ninety nine, which is really
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a conglomerate of folks that have inside information about some
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of the shenanigans that are going, which I like to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: call it in since they and the Fire Department, the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: police Department, and of course City City Hall, Cheryl Long
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Iris Rolie and the like. Welcome back Signal ninety nine
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: finder on Facebook and follower. It's great reporting and a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: lot of high comedy. I love the post you put
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: up about being on the Morning Show today, Signal ninety
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: nine with the pineapple. We all know what pineapple is.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Good to have you.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Back on, Good morning, Good to be back.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can say your bat pineapple insane. You have
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: pineapple for brains. Somebody finally got the idea of what
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that actually is. Anyway, it's good to have you back
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: on and real quick before we dive on into this
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: alleged bias that Campaigns zero described as a nonprofit organization
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: who looked at seventeen years worth of contact cards, finding
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that the police department apparently is racist in its traffic stops.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I note that Christopher Smithman told me the city budget
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Director set aside nine million dollars in the twenty twenty
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: seven budget for future litigation settlements. I guess that that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: covers Chief Washington, but probably not enough for Police Chief
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Fiji your reaction, I highly.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Doubt it will cover Chief Washington. There are some other
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: lawsuits that are getting ready to pop and they know it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And that's okay, you know why, because Farmer Music Center
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: is getting two million dollars from the City of Cincinnati
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: for the music center that didn't ask for that money
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the first place, as far as we know. Anyway,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: let's pivot over the operation. This nonprofit called themselves Campaign zero,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and they released this damning report showing the racial disparity
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and the number of people being stopped by the CINCINNTI police,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And like they even point out, you know, and weirdly
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that even in white neighborhoods where white people have the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: predominant amount of people. Black people were the minority, they
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: still pulled over more black people than whites. I'll let
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you address all this, but I want to start with
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the foundation. Now, contact cards. Those are what this organization
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: looked at. And according to the reporting from various local
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: news media outlets, four hundred and seventy thousand of these
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: contact cards were looked for looked at, and they cover
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the period two thousand and nine to twenty twenty five
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that's relinked at some point or originally to the collaborative agreement.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Can you just explain to me and my listening audience
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: what is the point of these contact cards and what
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: type of information that they that they include, and why
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: they are required to be created by the police department.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So law enforcement has predominantly used FIR contact cards forever.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: It's not just Cincinnati, it's all over the country. It's
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it's been a practice that's been used. If you make
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: contact with somebody, maybe you don't maybe you decide not
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to cite them for something. Okay, So like even a
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: park ranger catching somebody in the park doing something suspicious,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: you know, they might walk up to him and say hello, sir,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know, how are you today? You know your dog's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: not on a leash. I'm not going to cite to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you today, but I need to see your ide. They're
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna fill out an fi R. They're going
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to fill out the contact skilled, an information report, okay,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a contact card. Basically, what that does is, you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that gets saved and then later on if if you
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: have a problem with this individual later you could say, oh, yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: we have a couple of different contact cards of this
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: guy in this neighborhood at the same time we had
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a ration of burglary is going on, so they can
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: look at that later and say, you know this, this
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: could be, you know, a suspect. This could not be
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a suspect. This could just be you know, an informational
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: contact like hey, I'm just giving you a heads up
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you can't park here, or hey, you know so, typically
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you'll get a contact card when you know there's there's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: not going to be a citation. They're just interesting to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: see what your activity is. Okay, and if you you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: they're using the excuse it was, you know, even the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: predominantly white neighborhood. Well okay, let's talk about that. What's happening.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: What's happening all over the city, but in predominantly white
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: neighborhoods as well. You're having vehicles stolen, you're having handguns
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: stolen out of cars, You're having car windows broken and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: things stolen. I mean down at the jail right now,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the porceas the deputies can't even park near the jail
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: because they don't have protected parking, and they're down there
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: breaking their windows out constantly because they know that these
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: deputies can't take their handguns into the jail, so they're
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: hoping to find guns in their cars. I mean, so
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter where it's at. The problem is the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: data slot. The data slot, because first of all, they
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: went off of a twenty twenty consensus, which is ridiculous.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: You never do that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You never do that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: You you you don't look at potentially tourism type population
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and you you don't add that in, and you don't use.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: A consensus year. If they if they did a consensus
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: year this next time, it wouldn't go as favorably for them,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: would it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Well explain that to me, what is what is this
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: consensus thing, this consensus year? Why is that not a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: reliable document, or what is it comprised of? Just fill
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: in that blank for me and my listening audience.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Well, if you look at our at a twenty twenty
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: consensus year, what was included in the twenty twenty consensus
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that wouldn't be included in the next consensus according to law,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't have illegal that would be counted on the census.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: First of all, you wouldn't have it also shouldn't include
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a tourist population that's in and out of the city.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't you know, it wouldn't include events and things
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: of that nature that were big in twenty twenty. We
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: had a lot of people in twenty twenty that didn't
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: live in Cincinnati that specifically came to Cincinnati to prices.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So it's in apples the oranges comparison. You can't use
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that particular document because it doesn't accurately reflect the reality
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of what we see day in and day out there
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: throughout a calendar year in the city exactly.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You know, we had a massive year protest that year,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: So a lot of the people that were given contact
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: cards that year didn't even live here protest, They came
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: here to riot it. Okay, So okay, so let's set
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: that piece aside and let's focus on the officers and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the supervisors that they picked on in this report. First
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of all, these are officers and supervisors that are assigned
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to violent crime squads. They are assigned to uh SIGI.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: You remember what CIG stands for.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Now, go ahead and explain.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, there they're they're they're they're assigned to the gun
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: crime unit. They're assigned to guns and gangs. They're assigned
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to these are they are UH directed patrols into high
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: violence areas. Okay, high crimerian. So these officers are going
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to have more contact with people of color in these
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: areas because they're they're working. They're working gangs, they're working guns,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they're working violent crime. So that right there, to just
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: completely wipe this out, that this whole thing is for nothing.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And do you know why the timing of it is
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: so important that it just came out?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Oh do tell signal ninety nine.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a big election year for Cincinnati. So Judge
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Carrie Bloom has a has Susan Lucan running against her.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: People are sick and tired of these out of control juveniles.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: They want to vote for a change. They want to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: get of Carrie Bloom. They want to put a judge
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in there who wants to re establish law and order
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in the juvenile court system. The public defenders do not
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: want that. The Public Defender's Office loves Judge Carrie Bloom
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and Judge Silverstein and Judge Cross and all these other
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: judges that are political ideology judges. They're social workers in robes,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: so they can't handle even the thought of losing carry Bloom.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I see, so you've already answered the question was going
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to ask you during this segment. We've got to take
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a break here in a moment. But it was the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Hamilton County Public Defender's Office, apparently at least a cord
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of the reporting on reading for Fox nineteen, that asked
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: this outside organization to do the survey. At the outset,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I was wondering, why does the Hamilton County Public Defender's
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Office one have the authority to even ask for it?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And what was their interest in this? There's your answer,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it's politics.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Well at number two, iris throw it sits on the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: commissioning board of the Hamleton County Public Defender's Office.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Well, how about that and the special that's so special
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I got to say that doesn't surprise
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: me a bit. Hold on Signal ninety nine. We're going
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to bring it back to talk about this a little
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: bit more. And it just suggests that maybe in these
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: trying times, maybe a little prayer might be necessary for
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: more people. You know, you might want to consider that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: reconnecting with God. And regardless of your.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Talks station.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: In a seventwenty here fifty five krc DE talk station
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: trying to make it happy today, and get over to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Facebook and follow signal ninety nine. You get all the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: details and information. She broke down all everything she's mentioning
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: on this program on the outside nonprofit Racial Bias Report,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: which makes the police department look terribly racist in terms
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of pulling people over for traffic stops. But it's far
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: more than that, as she pointed out in the last segment,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you got to take into account that, you know, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that they identified officers by name.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: That's an intimidation tactic, isn't it, Signal ninety nine. It
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: seems so obvious and it seems designed to well, you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to be named in some
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: outside non governmental organizations report as being a bad guy,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: even though the only reason I had so many of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: these individuals on my contact sheet list is because I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: have been assigned to one of the more difficult details,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: dealing with gang members. So I find that really troubling.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like an anti ice tactic. I mean,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: do you perceive that as part of the underlying motivation
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: for mentioning names Signal ninety nine?
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely? And that the problem is like the number
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: one most egregious supervisor on the list didn't have a
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: single contact card. Okay, these are supervisors, these are sergeants,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: these are captains, a couple of which are black, So
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: they didn't even have contact cards. But they know these
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: contacts happened under their watch. So but let's set that
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: aside for a minute. The point of all of this, okay,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and the timing coming into summer. Okay, So if if
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: we whip up some racial tension and Iris presents herself
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: as the savior to fix the solution, what does that
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: mean to you?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Well, it means that it's like doing a definition of stupidity,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: different result. Wasn't she hasn't she been around for decades
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: fixing the problem. Has the problem been fixed me as directly?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: So if this, if this report is accurate, which is
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: clearly is not, okay, then Iris Rowley has failed the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: city of Cincinnati for over twenty five years. We paid
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: her million dollars to do something she wasn't able to do.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: But now all of a sudden, her and Damon Lynch
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the third they have a new program they're starting up.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: They're going to fix all of it. So uh, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: that just came right on, like two days after the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: report broke. Now there, you know, are you non biased?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: You should? You should instant message me. You could be
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: part of this new you know, give me a break.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: So let's say, let's just go ahead and say what
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: nobody else wants to say. Okay. Uh, violent crime has
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: an overwhelmingly high number of black males and female adult
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: and juvenile that commit violent crime in the city, Okay,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: much more so than any other race. What they don't say,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: what they refused to say, is that the victims of
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: these black offenders are predominantly black. So the black communities
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: are the ones getting hammered the hardest by the black criminals.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Nobody's protecting the black communities. And that's what Iris Rowley
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be doing, us to be helping create
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: solutions and black communities to quell violent clont crime, to
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: keep the juveniles under control, you know, to make the
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: city come together with the CPD and work together to
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: fix this problem. There's no there. They don't want a solution.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Do you remember last year when we blew up the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: videos of Iris obstructing and harassing CPD officers?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, okay?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Do you remember we called for her termination of her contract.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: The FOP was very vocal about.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: That as well, do you you absolutely?
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Okay? Well, the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office did a
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: post we scand with Irish Rowly. You know what I mean?
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: What does that tell you?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'm glad you you brought back up the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Hamilton County Public Defender's Office and I guess they're concerned
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: over perhaps the loss of Carrie Bloom, the administrative judge
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: ever in juvenile who is soft on crime. Well just
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: let's say it that way, and recognizing that black.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Well, they're terrified that that Christopher McDowell is going to
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: be elected.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Well, let me yeah, terrified that he's going to be
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: elected to defeating Carry Bloom, the liberal activist person that's
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: ahead of juvenile court. Now, recognizing and springing from your
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: point that the victims of these juvenile crimes are typically
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: black people, does that mean that black people want to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: be harder and harsher on crime in the city of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati because you need a sizeable black vote if you're
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: going to win an election, and there are a lot
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of black people in the city of Cincinnati, are they
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: going to vote in large numbers to oust Carrie Bloom?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Is that what they're afraid of?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: That is what they are absolutely terrified though? How about that?
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: You know last November they were worried about losing the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: mayor and city council. So you know this year they're
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: worried about losing some of their judges.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: All right, proving my point that yes, if you live
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in a black neighborhood are proominately black neighborhood, you definitely
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: want law enforcement. You definitely want the evil people out
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: of the neighborhood. You don't want gangs of youths running
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: around regardless of the color of their skin. You just
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: want an end of the crime.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: That counters the narrative. We hear from the iris Rolies
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of the world all the time, doesn't it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, it does. And you know it's sad because I
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: don't know when she sold her soul for the paychecks
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that she's getting. But she is not an advocate for
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the black community. She is an advocate for the Black
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: United Front and that is completely different.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Or maybe maybe she's an advocate for iris Rolie since
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: it's been very lucrative to be the fly in the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: ointment for so many people in these various neighborhoods who
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: are just simply looking for law enforcement.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and you watched this new program her and
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: David Leinster coming up with that's going to be very
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: lucrative too, and we're probably gonna end up paying for something.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That well, and you know where we're going to read
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: about it on Signal ninety nine's Facebook page. Thank you
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: so much for your time and for breaking this down
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: for my listening audience and me and I appreciate all
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: of your efforts on behalf of all of the residents
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of the city in Cincinnati. What you are doing is
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a noble gesture and well it seems consistent with what
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the vast majority of the people in downtown want. They
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: want law enforcement, they want law and order, and I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: know you support both of those, Signal ninety nine. Thank
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you again for your time and your regular time on
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Facebook and you're reporting, and I welcome you back on
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show anytime you got more scoop for us.
