Cincinnati Police Stops Worsen Racial Disparities

New data reveals Cincinnati’s police stops are becoming increasingly racially skewed, with Black residents now making up 66% of stops despite a drop in total stops since 2009. Black drivers are twice as likely to be searched, arrested, or subjected to force. City officials acknowledge the findings and plan a third-party review and community-led solutions—but criticize the report for lacking city collaboration. The data also highlights brief moments of racial parity in 2012 and 2016, sparking questions about what policies might have caused those shifts. The city will present recommendations to City Council after summer recess. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
