  Speaker 1: All right, So a couple of things going on that
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I've got to talk about in this the next twenty
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: minutes here or so, one of which is this woman
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that was attacked up in hill here and I just
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: ready to chew nails, as they used to say, ready
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to chew nails, because all of the stuff that you
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: see in people go, that's just internet room, or that's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: this folk lord, that's it. Every time a story like
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: hers comes to be, it makes me think, yeah, those
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: internet rumors have to be based on something. And this
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: was very blatant, and God bless her for coming forth,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: was her story, and for her husband for being what
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a husband is supposed to be. Excellent people. I'll tell
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you that story soon. Right now, I've got joining me
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: right now on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the president of the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge number nine,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the one, the only, the Mighty, Brian Steele.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: How you doing great, Chuck break Brown the show as always, well.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. I initially had asked you to come
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: on with me this week because we were going to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: talk about all the you know, well, as police hit
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the streets, they had a campaign that it went very well.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: The results were impressive. Didn't get nearly enough press. But
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: what is getting enough press and too much press, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it's making me sick today, is you know, this is
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the Adam Koy trial, and we got
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. I mean, there's no way to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: be responsible and not talk about it. It makes me sad.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'll just tell you right off the top of my
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: right at the top of my head, I don't agree
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: with the charge, should there be charges. I'm sure was
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a life lost. Absolutely, we shelled out ten million dollars
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: as a city to the family, and mistakes were made
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and tragedies exist, and it's a very sad thing. But
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: what is going on right now, as far as I'm concerned,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: feels more like vengeance than justice. And I will be
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: glad when it's over with and hopefully in a good way.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm glad we're going to talk about this.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So listen. Someone once told me, they said, you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Brian Steale, Chuck Douglas, you guys are a back combo
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: because like it is. I say, we're a great combo
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: because we tell it like it is. And here's the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: reality of the Koi trial. He was already denounced and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: vilified by Mayor Ginter and elected officials. As you said,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: ten million dollars settlement was paid out to the family.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: A work program by city council was named after mister Hill,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: A law was named after mister Hill. A rec center
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: was named after mister Hill. He is a paragon of
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: virtue according to the media, and then officer KOI right,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: we show his personnel file, we say he responded to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a non emergency run. They try to water this down.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Here's the reality. I do not know if bolster Koy
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: was justified or not. Only a judge and Durry can
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: determine that when they hear the facts of the case.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: They see the evidence and they look through the eyes
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: of Graham versus Connor. I've never once said the officer
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: was justified or not. I just said we need a
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: fair and am partial trial, and I don't know if
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: we're going to get that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: The idea that mistakes are made seems so alien the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: people because it's it's you know, it's far more important
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to to to judge and stand in judgment. That's just
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And I don't care who you are what you have.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: For some reason, people love that superiority feeling, and I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: think we just have too much of that going on
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: right now. If something went wrong, and as I said,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I I believe it did, that's that is my opinion.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Let us also remember the era in which this happened,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: when an officer couldn't be sure they could get from
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: their car into the station house without somebody taking a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: shot at them, when they were the ultimate villains, when
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they were under attack, their head on a swivel constantly.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Columbus was becoming some place that had not been before.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And maybe just maybe pepper spray, nightclub, gun badge, everything else,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: just maybe a human being got a little scared and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and something went awry. And you know, there's there's got
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to be that grace in your heart to understand that too.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't excuse anything, but
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it certainly should change the mindset of what you believe
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you want because of the event.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely right. The narrative that was basically painted was
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: white officer simply executed a black man. And I simply
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: do not buy that. I do not buy that that's
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: what happened. The courts are clear. The courts say an
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: officer can make a mistake. And let's say an officer
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: does make a mistake, and I'm not here to say
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Diderie didn't, But if he did, is that murder? I
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: don't think so. It may be you can no longer
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: be a police officer. It may be that there might
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: be some charge, It may be that maybe you should
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: perhaps be fired or resigned, but murder, We're talking murder,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: complete overreach post twenty twenty rogue leftist prosecutions, that's all
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: this was.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Well. I think you and I are definitely on the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: same page about that. The charge, if there must be
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a charge, I murder is You're going for something here
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that I just don't think is a justified charge. But again,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it washes out, and I'm sure you and I are
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: both going to be keeping eyes on it, and I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: sure you and I will probably be talking about it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: some more as as the next few weeks go along.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Shame we have to go into the holidays with this
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: kind of thing, But again, life is what it is.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to something good. Columbus police hitting the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: streets with an initiative. What's it been like two and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a half weeks, three weeks ago?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Now, yep, yep. Outstanding, outstanding job by all the officers.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: It wasn't just Columbus police off. I'll just remind your listeners,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it was also the Sheriff's office, some of our fine
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: officers from our subthern departments. Look, this band of misfits
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: they went up to Cleveland and they laid havoc on Cleveland.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We got word that they were coming down here, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: this is what shows you can please show way out
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of problems. The police were allowed to be that police
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that day, and what they did was they arrested over
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: two hundred people. They spike stripped fifty cars, and they
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: towed multiple cars, and they hit everybody in the wallet.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You went to jail or you're getting a hefty fine.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Come to our city. Show off your car, pop that hood,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: let's check the engine. That's great. Doing donuts, cranking off
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: gunshot rounds to one hundred hundred plus miles an hour
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: in the streets is not tolerated. And we showed them
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that day. And I'm so incredibly proud proud of the
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: officers for that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Is there any chance that the success of the adventure
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland transforms itself into some more endorsed if you
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: will efforts in the city of Columbus. Might our city
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: hall actually go hey, you know it worked up there.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's time we let the cops be the cops
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in Columbus too.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I think we're seeing it. We talked about Saul tim
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Chuck the pendulum swing, and we over correct it after
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty. We went so far one way, and what
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: did we see Our rest went down? Violent crimes or
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: murder spike. That's just how it is. Now. You're seeing
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: more and more elected officials, at least publicly supporting the police.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I know the city Attorney's at Cline. He came out
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: heavy with the prosecution with these offenders in this operation,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and he had said, we're not pleading down your case.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: That is the kind of stuff that drives that helps
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: drive crime down, and we just need to see more
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Is there any update, by the way, I need to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: ask this, any update from Milwaukee during the convention when
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: we sent officers out there to help with security and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: they had that event as soon as they got there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Is that still working its way through the details or
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is anything coming of it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: It's still pending at the end of the day. I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: mean video spoke for itself. Even the mayor of that
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: town openly supported our officers that day, and we thank
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: them for that. By these things will take a little
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: bit of time.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And as we head into the cooler weather and things
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: begin to change and the crime patterns begin to change
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Anything that those who
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: are supportive of our police departments can do to I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: don't know, make your life a little bit easier, put
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a smile on your face during patrol, anything like that,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: because you know you've got a microphone here for that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Well, one of the best things you can tell an
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: officer is you know, hey, be safe out there. Thank
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you for your service, because it matters. And listen, we're
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: not puppies. We don't need scratch it on a belly
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: or pats on a back. But when this is why
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: we do this. We do this for a reason. Officers
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: go to work every day knowing they might get murdered
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and not come home. And when people say, you know, hey,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: thank you for your service. I always say, you're welcome,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You're worth it, and that's the best thing intel an officer.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Some guys forget too, though. The FLP we're a nonprofit charity,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: so if anybody wants to help the FOP nine Foundation,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you can get on our website FOP nine dot org.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Cut a check. That money goes to officers in sick
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and distress and it goes into the community we serve.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: So we'll give out we'll give out meals for Christmas,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: We'll do a code drive, all these things. We could
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: certainly use the community support so we could help give
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: back to those we serve.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Why don't I know about this? You're supposed to tell
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: me about stuff like this so I can help you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you know what that's on me. I'll own that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I'll give you all the information offline, and yeah, let's
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: do some good work together.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: This is why I won't scratch your belly.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Not many could scratch my belly, but I let you.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Brian Steele as president of FOP Lodge number nine, he's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: doing a fine job. He is as always, very visible,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: very vocal, very supportive of the troops and uh and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: never flinches when asked a question. You are so very appreciated.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think you.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Know well, I appreciate it's a voice of CenTra high
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: law enforcement. Thank you so much. Grabbing me on the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: show and give me a platform to speak to good
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: work work their officers are doing every day.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Anytime. You'd be safe out there, buddy. We will talk
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: again very very soon. That he's he's just you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: one of the cool things about Brian is I hit
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: him with whatever, even if it's not favorable stuff. You
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: think he wants to talk about, you know, an officer
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: on trial. No, but he will. He doesn't shy away
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: from things, and I like that about him very much.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I got this story, but let me let me get
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to this call, because this guy's been holding on here
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for a while and I want to get to him.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But I got to tell you about the Hilliard thing too.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Eight six is the number. Tommy, you're on sixten level
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the u TV and turned down your radio. I think
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he wants to talk about though. Okay, we'll put Tommy
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: back on hold. Maybe it'll turn down the radio. You know, people, man,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it's like from the seven he's turned down you're radio.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: So the woman is shopping at the home store in Hilliard.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Her story is on the WSYX website if you want
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to read about it, but essentially, here's the deal. She
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: went out, She her husband and the grandchild, and they
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: wanted to look for some spooky stuff, some halloween stuff
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: right for the home at the home store, and there's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: this guy, Mohammed Kamorrow, which, by the way, there's a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: soccer player by the same name. It's not the same guy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Mohammed Camaro. Yes, Mohammed Camaro sounds like a detective from
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: an eighties TV series.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Doesn't He doesn't drive a Camaro or is he?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know that this guy drives at all.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Just looking at his picture, he looks like he probably
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: wears those polyester fake silk shirts and sandals all winter long.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: So a yeah, it's up. And I again, I just
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I want to say to this woman, good for you,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Gloria Cannon, good for you, And to your husband, Tim,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: good for you for being a man, rushing in that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: bathroom and doing what a man, what a husband should do.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Here's her story from the Wsyxite, shopping at the Art
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: home store on Mill Run with her husband's son grandchild
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: near their Hilliard home. The day was as innocent as
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you would think. Gloria's husband, Tim said, none of the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: three of us saw a threat until we heard the screen.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Gloria said, they took their grandson to the store on
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: September twentieth to look for spooky things. While they were there,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: she went to the restroom. The minute I walked in
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the stall, I heard the door open, she said. When
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I walked out of the stall and around, I saw
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: him standing there, and I knew it wasn't good. Hill
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: your police had. Twenty six year old Mohammed Kamara of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Columbus allegedly could be seen on surveillance video following and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Gloria around the store and into the restroom. Court records
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: alleged that he waited. Allege you watched him alleged that
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he waited for her near the sinks, then attacked her,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: grabbing her throat, slamming her against the wall, covering her mouth,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and attempting to strangle her. What went through my mind
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: almost immediately was I need to get myself out of here,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Gloria said. And when that wasn't going to happen, I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: needed Tim to hear me call his name. I knew
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that was my only goal. I had to survive long
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: enough to get Tim's attention. Eventually, Gloria was able to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: get Tim's attention. I heard a scream that was muffled,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and then I heard Tim help me. Tim said, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: was fully expecting to walk through the door and see
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: her laying on the floor with a sprained ankle, a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: slip and fall thing. Instead, Tim saw his wife struggling
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to get away from Kamara. Hiliar police said he was
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: able to pull Kamara from his wife and hold him
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: until they arrived. Any husband that gives a darn about
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: their wife goes into protector mode, and that's where I was,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Tim said. Gloria said the moment replaced constantly in her mind. Tim.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I congratulate you, sir, on your restraint. I don't know
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that I would have been controlled enough to leave anything
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: for the police to come and pick up. But you
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: see these stories floating around about women going to the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: car and finding something on their car handle or something
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: on their windshield. Just look at a Fox News report here,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: twelve hundred and forty eight missing children in twenty twenty
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: three in the United States of America, sex trafficking up,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: borders open. We're supposed to act like everything's fine. You
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: can't say that because that's raisedist, your xenophobic Shut the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: hell up. People. Look if one population increases and another
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: population starts disappearing. It's not that hard to put two
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and two together. We are so worried about being offensive
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: to someone, but we don't make any sense sometimes, so
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Mohammed Kamara. Whatever the maximum in jail is, I hope
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you get it, and then some and anybody else who
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: grabs Grandma whilst she's taking. By the way, Grandma's inappropriate term. Gloria,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you're a lovely lady. Just so you know, Tim, Please
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: don't beat me up if you ever meet me at
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the hill your homestore. Watch out for each other. People
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: watch out for each other because other people are watching
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you and there's not always somebody else to come to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the rescue. Time for me to fly. We'll do this
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: again tomorrow night. Bob's fragg State Treasure of Ohio joining
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: me with some opinions on six ' ten WTV
