Posted by: Zoon ::: 97X...BAM...The Future of Rock and Roll ::: After being off the air for almost a month, WOXY lives! And for those of you who still believe Police Chief Streicher's comments regarding the "exaggerated" crime level in Cincinnati, a woman was shot in the middle of the street last night following a domestic dispute. Nothing to see here...please disperse... |

Posted by: Zoon ::: Window Shopping ::: Police Chief Thomas Streicher, Jr. ignited a public backlash with his comments that crime in Cincinanti isn't so bad when compared to other cities and that people are fearful only because of aggressive media coverage. Last night, one criminal responded by throwing a sheriff's deputy through a plate glass window during an arrest. But remember, kids: this city does not have a crime problem, it's merely a matter of perception. |

Posted by: Zoon ::: C.O.P.S. ::: As realists, we understand the publicly available crime statistics for Cincinnati. Roughly one-third of the drug felons arrested last year were sentenced to no jail time - even though most had prior criminal records. But we also read how city wide, the police forces remove hundreds of guns from the streets, serve thousands of warrants, and confiscate hundreds of grams worth of crack cocaine and marijuana. But when we talk to the police, they provide a number of explanations for their inaction. We've heard about the bulk of police efforts in Over the Rhine and Avondale and that drug dealers are difficult to catch because they know the laws better than police. We receive excuses and statistics in lieu of action. I read countless stories about the northward migration of residents leaving the city of Cincinnati. People move to the suburbs for larger lots, lower taxes, and to escape the higher crime levels within the city. But then our City Council and police forces assure the citizens our streets are safer because of a greater police presence in the more troubled areas. The people in my neighborhood, however, see only a lack of imagination and response from law enforcement. We are not seeing a return on our tax dollars. Consider some of the following articles: If crime really is down, explain the nearly 42% average increase across just seven neighborhoods. At least we all agree there is a problem... ...but then our County Prosecutor says don't bother arresting people because there is no place to put them?! "Complaints of drug activity led to a search warrant." We've been calling for seven months. A man comes home from participating in a benefit and is inexplicably shot in front of his house... ...yet Cincinnati's Police Chief responds with "The overwhelming majority of homicides that we have occur when people are involved in crime." Wow. I don't even know how to respond to that. |
