Cincinnati Police Chief Asks Citizens Not To Film Crimes Next Time As It Makes Her Look Bad

CINCINNATI, OH — Friday's violent mob-style attack took social media by storm over the weekend, forcing Chief of Police Teresa Theetge to call a press conference in which she asked citizens not to film violent crimes because it makes her look bad.

According to the chief's office, Theetge is particularly upset because the abundance of video footage posted to social media makes Cincinnati look like a lawless city. A fact, she says, is supposed to be a secret.

"That is unacceptable to film a crime in my city," she said. "It was horrendous, yes, but it also makes me look bad. Why did people film it? Just to let others know what happened and to force me to prioritize a crime I don't really care about? That's a waste of my important time."

Experts agree that if no one had been on hand to film the violent assault outside a weekend jazz festival, Cincinnati wouldn't look so awful right now. "It's a terrible crime to film a crime," said Theetge. "I promise whoever is responsible for filming this and posting to social media will be brought to justice."

At publishing time, Chief Theetge had also called on police to end the use of body cameras because of how bad they make criminals look.

So true. So many of those Blue cities have DEI female police chiefs that are really ignorant.

It was just a "fight," not a black-on-white hate crime, you racist White people.

Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge is providing an update on a large fight that took place in downtown Cincinnati near Fourth and Elm streets. Theetge said that she's in "complete disgust" after watching the videos of the fight.

No matter how much you hate these people, you cannot hate them enough.

I stand by my view that the police are mostly there to protect the crooks from the citizens. They don’t care so much about protecting citizens from the crooks. If the city has a crime problem, it’s a good thing! The city needs to spend more money on the police! The police like that. The police like the crooks more than they like citizens.

White males used to make good police chiefs. They’d send their boys after the bad guys. They didn’t stand around acting as props with badges at the Mayoral press conferences like they do these days.
