Changing cities, the story stays the same
The shooting of a black man by a white police officer in Cincinnati is so disturbing that authorities won't allow the public to see it. Forty-three-year-old Sam Dubose is dead, and city officials believe that keeping this information from the public will work to temper potential riots. Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell says of the video, "it's not good," but says he hopes the city "is able to move forward from this and allow this to be a moment of learning and teaching for our city."Okay, then why is he preventing the first step towards learning and teaching from taking place? The city manager is claiming that, somehow, holding the video is furthering the cause of justice. How many times have we heard this implied message from police: trust us? It's taken over a week for police to put their story together. This video must be really bad.
UPDATE: 7/30/15 University of Cincinnati police are actually serial killers.

Republicans want to privatize anything that moves. So naturally that means private debt collectors working for the IRS. I’m sure that recipe won’t lead to more charges of harassment.
