I hope they can identify a bunch of these thugs, this is brutal street violence.

That depends Jo. There are no sinners without a future or saints without a past. Vick has been under the microscope of the media for quite some time now and to my knowledge he’s been pretty clean.

 

51 we don’t agree on much but I’ll back you here: your post was without any sort of bias or slant and had the most up to date video on the incident at the time (I was tracking this one as well)

 

Hmmm, so the video doesn’t show what really happened? Those people weren’t beaten, kicked, and knocked unconscious?

Cincinnati's Top Cop Melts Down Over People Sharing Clips of Mob Beating Woman Unconscious 'Without Context'

Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge went off on social media users and the media for sharing videos of a vicious and potentially racially-motivated beating in her city last weekend.

During a press conference Monday, the city’s top cop said people sharing the clips were distorting the facts around a brutal mob melee “without context.”

“At times, social media and mainstream media — and their commentaries — are a misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding any given event,” Theetge added.

When pressed by a reporter about what exactly was distorted, the chief responded, “It just shows one side of the equation quite frequently, without context — without factual context. And then people run with that.”

 

It's a bad look for the police chief. Was there something she said, though, that you thought was factually incorrect?

 

So far a man and woman have been arrested with 3 additional sealed warrants. Just my guess, but so far they got the girl who jumped in late in the video just before the female victim was punched. By the photos, though, it does not look like they got the puncher yet. That's just my guess from the mug shots/video.

She didn’t really provide any facts. When questioned, she just gave a generalized opinion about social media.

 

This story is getting traction. It took off on social media.

Five charged after video of violent altercation in Cincinnati goes viral

 

And the moral of this story is "Keep your hands to yourself"

 

Just so we are crystal clear, your contention is this was ok since there is a still screenshot of a mans hand near another persons face? Bold move Cotton...

 

This is a screenshot of the slap that initiated the entire brouhaha. If this slap doesn’t happen, the unfortunate brawl doesn’t happen and no one is getting stomped out. In conclusion, keep your hands to yourself. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

 

Terrible take. I'm fine with the person getting slapped defending himself and beating the crap out of that person. I'm not ok with getting destroyed by a mass of people. I guess you are. Good luck with that take...

 

I’m okay with everyone keeping their hands to themselves and not starting a brawl in the first place. Thanks for listening.

 

Got it. By your logic if a person doesn't listen to a police officer orders then whatever happens is their own fault. Just want to keep it consistent.

 

The slap is what started it, should’ve kept their hands to themselves. Thanks for listening!
