Cincinnati Police Stop Data Sparks Debate

A new report reveals alarming racial disparities in Cincinnati police stops over 15 years, showing Black residents are searched, arrested, and subjected to force more often than white residents — based on “contact card” data. Police union head Ken Kober disputes the findings, citing missing context and lack of input from key community partners. City Manager Sheryl Long admits the city wasn’t consulted before release and plans an independent review — a move spurred by the exclusion of activist Iris Roley, a key collaborator. The Hamilton County Public Defender’s Office, which commissioned the report, stands by its conclusions, hoping it ignites meaningful reform. The city’s review is underway, keeping the national conversation on policing accountability alive. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
