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