Tuesday exta special because we get Ken Cober FOP President
for the cincint Police Department six, chapter sixty nine. Ken Coober,
Welcome back to the Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Now this topic low or no bond for some pretty
significant offenses. Do the police officers react to this? I mean,
are there Do they get upset when someone's let out
on un recognizance when they have been oh, I don't know,
arrested for carrying concealed weapons and properly handing a firearm,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Is this something that
(01:30):
you know you sort of take personally?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Oh, well, there's no doubt the frustration of having an
armed encounter with a suspect and I wanted to find
out that they get an O or bond is something
that I constantly get calls out. And as we saw
last week, as I started getting calls, I figured out
real quick which judge was in room ay And it
makes complete sense because we let everybody out. The reign
of terror for Judge Silverstein has finally ended. She's not
(01:56):
in ROUMAINEA this week?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh this week? What of next week?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Well, thank god, it's only about they do a rotation.
So all the municipal court judges have to do a
week at a time, so luckily we only have for
about four times a year.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Okay, but she's the biggest offender in terms of low
or no bond and at least in terms of your
perception of how the judges handle bond situations.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
By far, by far the worst. And you know, in
twenty twenty two, Issue one was passed by the voters
that said judges will consider public safety when issuing bail,
and it's something she just refuses to do. And apparently
she just snubs her nose to the voters of Ohio.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I mean, I guess you're not a lawyer, and I
don't know what the procedures are, but it seems to
me that someone might subject her to sort of an
ethical review or a caller on the carpet for not
paying attention to what the law requires. I know, this
all enters in the realm of subjectivity. You're sitting on
the bench and you've got to decide what the bond's
going to be set in. But you know, look like
(02:57):
for example, this Andrew Thomas person trafficking and drugs, multiple
counts of trafficking drugs, possession of drugs, multiple counts, champering
with evidence, vandalism. I mean all these during one particular
incident that sounds like a person who is a threat
to society.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Without a doubt. I mean, we saw it last week.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I mean there were people that were convicted falons for
carrying guns, convicted of violent felonies, felonious assault, shootings, things
like that, that get rearrested after having been convicted, only
to get our bonds and released right back on to
the community. It's something that's certainly creating a massive danger
to the residents and the citizens the visitors of Hamilton County.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, a recidiviust that's someone who did not learn a
lesson from the criminal justice system, which is you commit crimes,
you're gonna face some punishment. Clearly there wasn't enough punishment
there and they aren't facing any repercussions, so there's no disincentive.
Screw it, I'm gonna go back out and start dealing
drugs again.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, without a doubt. I mean the most egregious one
are one of the more egregious ones. I'll was an
eighteen year old who was caught with a gun. He's
not under disability because he had previously been convicted but
now he's eighteen. He got an O R bond but
was held on a parole holder, so they took him
over to eight twenty four Broadway Juvenile Court to answer
(04:16):
to this parole holder, only to be unhandcuffed, and then
when he realized that he was going to be held,
he escaped from a twenty four Broadway. Thankfully, Thankfully he
was rearrested. But this is what's going on in Hamilton
County with certain judges, and it's got to stop.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We'll take the case of Frederick Weisch, released on his
own recognizance. Count A carrying a concealed weapon County improperly
handling firearms in a motor vehicle, count see having weapons
while under disability count the failure to comply with an
order or signal of the police officer so uncooperative on
top of everything else. Out on his own recognizance.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah, there was another one I posted last week. A
guy that's a convicted felon from federal gun and drug charges,
did a federal sentence, got back out. He was another
one that was stopped, ran from the police. He was drunk,
head cocaine, had another gun. And we'll just give these
people o our bonds.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Well, I'm glad you're bringing this to the public's attention
because obviously elections have consequences, and this was a bad consequence.
Do you know when this judge is up for re election?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Unfortunately not till twenty twenty nine. Oh no, because there
are six year terms with the municipal court. And that's
why I actually had posted on our social media page
that it was the district that she has includes Anderson Township,
New Town, Norwood in Fairfax. Those are the folks that
are responsible for getting her into this office.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Anderson Township. Hmm, that's rather interesting. Wonder what Andrew pappas
former trustee has to say about that. Well, let's it's it.
We're at a break, so let's bring you back and
we'll have a little bit further conversation about this because
it's frustrating. But it doesn't seem as though there's anything
else we can do about it other than keep raising
awareness about this. We'll see if there's opportunities for us
(06:08):
to do this pause, we'll bring Ken Cober back FOP
President Ken Cover at six thirty five fifty five KRC
detalk station. That'll give me an opportunity to mention my
favorite auto repair shop, Foreign Exchange, west Chester location. My
friend Austin has assembled an amazing team of ASE certified
Master technicians. They can work on any type of traditionally
(06:28):
imported manufactured car, like from Europe or Asia. You got
an exotic car, take it to Foreign Exchange. You got
a run of the middle car, take it to Foreign
Exchange and you'll get it fixed. You'll get a full
warranty on both parts and service, and you won't pay
as much as the dealer, and quite often a substantial savings.
I regularly mentioned my oil change, so here I'm doing
it again. A simple oil change for my car at
(06:50):
the dealer is like four hundred and fifty bucks. I
get the same oil and the same filter at Foreign
Exchange for a little over two hundred bucks. I call
that a signific against saving. It's like half or more
than half. So why Lord knows why they charge so
much of the dealer. But you don't have to get
down that road. And car repairs have gotten more and
more expensive, just like everything inflationary, plessure, pressure's supply chain issues.
(07:14):
It's just going to cost you a heat blow. So
don't get down that road. Go to the road that
leads to Foreign Exchange Westchester location. That's Tylersville Road off
seventy five. Go east off that exit two streets. It's
I mean like an eighth of a mile. If hang
a right on Kingland Drive and you run right into
that wonderful shop, they'll treat you great. They're wonderful people.
They're very friendly. If you want to talk to the mechanic,
(07:35):
you have the opportunity to do that at Foreign Exchange,
unlike the dealer where you have to deal with the
service manager exclusively. So get a full warranty on parts
and service. Put a smile on your face for not
having to pay as much. Five one three six four

First Warning one forecast two day high fifty six with
partly sunny skies of the partly cloudy overnight little thirty
five tomorrow, another partly cloudy day with a slight chance
of rain sixty two after seven pm tomorrow, chance of
rain and storms increase. Overnight little forty and partly cloudy
on Thursday with a high of fifty forty degrees.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Right now, time for a traffic update. Totably you see
Traffic Center. Around forty percent of cancers are preventable. Lifestyle
changes and screenings can make a difference. Called five one, three,
five eighty five. You see see see a couple of
heavy spots on the highways now the heaviest is South
Bend two seventy five break lights between the Lawrence Perg
ramp and the work on the Carroll Crawford Bridge. That's
(08:43):
getting close to an extra five minutes northbound seventy five
beginning to slow down between Dixie and Kyle's shock INGRAMOM
fifty five KR.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
See the talk station.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Brian Thomas here with FLP President Ken Couplets to say,
Police Department, we're talking about the low or zero bond
un recognizance bond and the problem seems to lie in
the lap of Municipal Court Judge Samantha Silverstein, who we
had a couple of demonstral illustrations of someone who should
have had a much higher bond, absolutely representing a danger
(09:21):
to society which they are required to consider and apparently
she's not. Now is she defying or running against I
guess fundamentally, are the prosecutors asking for a higher bond
and she's just denying that? Or are has the change
of the prosecutor's office under now Connie Pillage not pushing
(09:44):
for higher bonds?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
No, I mean they're still asking for bonds. She's made
up her mind and when she ran, she ran on
being this social justice bail reform person. So it's no
surprise that she's holding true to what she said that
she was going to do. So you go in there
in front of her in room ay and she'll say, well,
how much money is it? How much money do you
have to be able to get out today? And if
(10:06):
you say I don't have any money, then she goes, well,
we'll just give you no.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Our bond, okay, right.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I don't know how that represents social justice, my friend.
This is someone who has committed a crime, and especially
notably the recidivus, those who have already been before a
judge and been convicted on crimes. They have demonstrably illustrated
that they are criminals engaging in criminal behavior, and the
justice system has any impact on them because they continue
to do it. They represent a threat to the very
(10:39):
community that she thinks she's serving through social justice.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
That's what your listeners have to understand. I'm not complaining
about somebody that picks up a theft charge or ady,
you know, not that those aren't you know, crimes, not
that those aren't things that you should be putted for.
But I'm talking about the people that are the worst
of the worst, the people that are committing violent crimes
over and over and over again. Those are the ones
that need to be held and make them if they're
(11:05):
going to make a bond, make them heave an investment. Yeah,
so that way we know they're going to come back
to court. And that's just not being done.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
You know, under Prosecutor Melissa Powers, she rallied against this
all the time. She was outspoken on the subject. She
was reported in the paper she would post things on
her Facebook social media showing these ridiculous low to no
bond situations with very dangerous people. Does Connie Pilache have
any say on this? Has she uttered a syllable about
this what you and I perceive to be problem?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I have not heard her say anything public about this.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, I know she's busy protesting in front of Tesla Joe.
I know that she's got more important things on her plate.
I suppose, wow. I mean, other than just bringing this
to our attention, is really is there anything we can
do about it? If she's so defiant and refuses to
follow Ohio law on this matter. I guess we're just
(12:01):
kind of stuck, aren't we.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, the only solution to this, if there really were
to be a solution, it's kind of There's two options.
One is for the public to file complaints with the
Supreme Court, because that's ultimately who would hear these things?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Are they going to do anything about it? It depends.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I think it's likely, not just because judges are given
a certain not a latitude. But the only true answer
to able to get rid of this would be an
attempt to have somebody you create a coalition and have
her recalled. I know it's been done out West with
mayors and other elected positions, but that's really the only
recourse it would be to have her recalled.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Well, that sounds like an outstanding idea under the circumstances,
Because these are not one off things. This same judge,
time and time and time again does exactly what we're
talking about here this morning, so we have a long
record of it, and I think that might justify a
recall petition. So maybe someone that the listening audience can
spearhead that and we might get some justice and some
(13:01):
safety for our communities, because clearly communities are in jeopardy
when folks like this are let out without bond, without
a stake in the action, and with no incentive to
stop their criminal activities. Well, I wish it was better
news from you today, but quite often we have to
deliver the bad in order to bring about change, and
you've done that for my listening audience today, Ken.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Real quick here.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I had a caller earlier moving over to that Evendale situation.
I hate to put you on the spot, but under
what circumstances would have been and I don't know if
names were taken down, but one of my callers earlier
this morning seemed to suggest that it would have been
a good idea for the police to gather up names
and identification to know who these people were. I don't know.
Maybe some evidence of a crime might pop up later.
(13:41):
Someone had video footage as someone maybe hitting somebody on
the head.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Is can you do that.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
If you're not aware or have a reasonable, articulable suspicion
of a crime or probable cause, are you still allowed
to ask for and get someone's name and write it down.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Well, you can ask, but they don't have to give
it to you unless you're investigating a crime. And I
know that this is a very heated topic.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It is.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
I don't blame them the things that going on that
was absolutely ridiculous, but I do know that the police's
main objective in that situation, especially when you're dealing with
people that are armed, is to make sure no big
get shot.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Right, So their main objective.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Is to make sure that the people that are causing
this confrontation, as well as the people that are you know,
highly charged about this and emotionally charged, and I get it,
is to make sure that this ends peacefully.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That's the main objective.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah, And he did acknowledge that and give you probs for,
you know, de escalating. That was most the best result
that could have happened that day under the circumstances. So
I was just merely inquiring because I didn't I don't
know one way or the other, under what circumstances you
can get their names. You point out that they don't
have to give it unless there's a crime being investigated.
So maybe that you tried, not you specifically, maybe the
(14:48):
police tried and we're denied. But there was no reporting
one way or another on even whether that effort was
engaged in, so we were just merely speculating about the circumstances.
But I appreciate you addressing it and clearing the air
for for us. Ken Kober, keep up the great work
and God bless us since aint police Department, you least
have great support among my listening audience for the work
that you were doing keeping communities safe and of course
(15:10):
bringing this ridiculous bond situation to everyone's.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Attention, right, Brian, Well, thanks for having me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Always a pleasure, my friend, Always a pleasure. Five one three,
eight hundred eighty two to three taco with pound five
fifty on AT and T phones. And another number you
want to call is the number for Chris Zimmer at
Zimmer Heating and Air Conditioning Man. They've been at this
more than seventy five years, keeping your homes safe, warm,
efficient of course, and cool in the summertime. Turn to

the experts, at Zimmer for a warm carrier system and
also a cool carrier system because they have great air
conditioning and heating units. Carrier makes wonderful units, and of
course Zim are authorized dealer and servicer of carrier, but

See the talk station.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Brian Thomas here with FLP President Ken Couplets to say,
Police Department, we're talking about the low or zero bond
un recognizance bond and the problem seems to lie in
the lap of Municipal Court Judge Samantha Silverstein, who we
had a couple of demonstral illustrations of someone who should
have had a much higher bond, absolutely representing a danger
(09:21):
to society which they are required to consider and apparently
she's not. Now is she defying or running against I
guess fundamentally, are the prosecutors asking for a higher bond
and she's just denying that? Or are has the change
of the prosecutor's office under now Connie Pillage not pushing
(09:44):
for higher bonds?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
No, I mean they're still asking for bonds. She's made
up her mind and when she ran, she ran on
being this social justice bail reform person. So it's no
surprise that she's holding true to what she said that
she was going to do. So you go in there
in front of her in room ay and she'll say, well,
how much money is it? How much money do you
have to be able to get out today? And if
(10:06):
you say I don't have any money, then she goes, well,
we'll just give you no.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Our bond, okay, right.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I don't know how that represents social justice, my friend.
This is someone who has committed a crime, and especially
notably the recidivus, those who have already been before a
judge and been convicted on crimes. They have demonstrably illustrated
that they are criminals engaging in criminal behavior, and the
justice system has any impact on them because they continue
to do it. They represent a threat to the very
(10:39):
community that she thinks she's serving through social justice.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
That's what your listeners have to understand. I'm not complaining
about somebody that picks up a theft charge or ady,
you know, not that those aren't you know, crimes, not
that those aren't things that you should be putted for.
But I'm talking about the people that are the worst
of the worst, the people that are committing violent crimes
over and over and over again. Those are the ones
that need to be held and make them if they're
(11:05):
going to make a bond, make them heave an investment. Yeah,
so that way we know they're going to come back
to court. And that's just not being done.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
You know, under Prosecutor Melissa Powers, she rallied against this
all the time. She was outspoken on the subject. She
was reported in the paper she would post things on
her Facebook social media showing these ridiculous low to no
bond situations with very dangerous people. Does Connie Pilache have
any say on this? Has she uttered a syllable about
this what you and I perceive to be problem?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I have not heard her say anything public about this.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, I know she's busy protesting in front of Tesla Joe.
I know that she's got more important things on her plate.
I suppose, wow. I mean, other than just bringing this
to our attention, is really is there anything we can
do about it? If she's so defiant and refuses to
follow Ohio law on this matter. I guess we're just
(12:01):
kind of stuck, aren't we.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, the only solution to this, if there really were
to be a solution, it's kind of There's two options.
One is for the public to file complaints with the
Supreme Court, because that's ultimately who would hear these things?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Are they going to do anything about it? It depends.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I think it's likely, not just because judges are given
a certain not a latitude. But the only true answer
to able to get rid of this would be an
attempt to have somebody you create a coalition and have
her recalled. I know it's been done out West with
mayors and other elected positions, but that's really the only
recourse it would be to have her recalled.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Well, that sounds like an outstanding idea under the circumstances,
Because these are not one off things. This same judge,
time and time and time again does exactly what we're
talking about here this morning, so we have a long
record of it, and I think that might justify a
recall petition. So maybe someone that the listening audience can
spearhead that and we might get some justice and some
(13:01):
safety for our communities, because clearly communities are in jeopardy
when folks like this are let out without bond, without
a stake in the action, and with no incentive to
stop their criminal activities. Well, I wish it was better
news from you today, but quite often we have to
deliver the bad in order to bring about change, and
you've done that for my listening audience today, Ken.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Real quick here.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I had a caller earlier moving over to that Evendale situation.
I hate to put you on the spot, but under
what circumstances would have been and I don't know if
names were taken down, but one of my callers earlier
this morning seemed to suggest that it would have been
a good idea for the police to gather up names
and identification to know who these people were. I don't know.
Maybe some evidence of a crime might pop up later.
(13:41):
Someone had video footage as someone maybe hitting somebody on
the head.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Is can you do that.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
If you're not aware or have a reasonable, articulable suspicion
of a crime or probable cause, are you still allowed
to ask for and get someone's name and write it down.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Well, you can ask, but they don't have to give
it to you unless you're investigating a crime. And I
know that this is a very heated topic.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It is.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
I don't blame them the things that going on that
was absolutely ridiculous, but I do know that the police's
main objective in that situation, especially when you're dealing with
people that are armed, is to make sure no big
get shot.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Right, So their main objective.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Is to make sure that the people that are causing
this confrontation, as well as the people that are you know,
highly charged about this and emotionally charged, and I get it,
is to make sure that this ends peacefully.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That's the main objective.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah, And he did acknowledge that and give you probs for,
you know, de escalating. That was most the best result
that could have happened that day under the circumstances. So
I was just merely inquiring because I didn't I don't
know one way or the other, under what circumstances you
can get their names. You point out that they don't
have to give it unless there's a crime being investigated.
So maybe that you tried, not you specifically, maybe the
(14:48):
police tried and we're denied. But there was no reporting
one way or another on even whether that effort was
engaged in, so we were just merely speculating about the circumstances.
But I appreciate you addressing it and clearing the air
for for us. Ken Kober, keep up the great work
and God bless us since aint police Department, you least
have great support among my listening audience for the work
that you were doing keeping communities safe and of course
(15:10):
bringing this ridiculous bond situation to everyone's.
