@TanyaORourke @ChrisSeelbach @WCPO because we r professionals and didn't make our complaints public to council members. Now u see them.

@AllyKraemer @ChrisSeelbach @WCPO then don't b so quick to say u support him,read the report, and then ask is this the chief u really want?

@lionsFan886 @TanyaORourke @ChrisSeelbach @WCPO Good to know. Cinti.Cops need safety, to have it & to be allowed to protect it. Local heroes

@AllyKraemer @WCPO Then she should have been in chambers to testify to that fact. Blackwell has the right to face his accusers

@TanyaORourke @WCPO This makes me very sad. I know Scotty and I have always respected him... but .....

@ashleyzilka @WCPO Wonder why they were asked to leave. If they really didn't support the chief would seem the city would want the backup

@AllyKraemer @WCPO The credibility of the CPD has been at risk since way before this chief. #WhalenStrieicherDeters

@onlyAshleigh @WCPO @JohnCranley Uh ... you are the MAYOR if you can't control your own meeting??

by MLB Fuqua via twitter 9/9/2015 7:43:01 PM
@WCPO Oh please... you know how many times officers are seen on their cell phones while working?

by MLB Fuqua via twitter 9/9/2015 7:43:02 PM
@AllyKraemer @WCPO in a show of support or in an attempt to shame???

by MLB Fuqua via twitter 9/9/2015 7:43:04 PM
@bernardkuhn @petewitte @WCPO @JohnCranley @CincyCtyCouncil Theres not one claim from any citizens against Blackwell. Citizens liked him!!

by Rayshon Mack via twitter 9/9/2015 7:43:57 PM
@bernardkuhn @petewitte @WCPO @JohnCranley @CincyCtyCouncil Transparency!! Black should provide & release evidence of these claims.

by Rayshon Mack via twitter 9/9/2015 7:44:02 PM
