I actually listened to police monitors during the cincy riots supplied here and was commenting and reading comments on the threads as it happened.
I was posting links to all the Cincy threads at that time.
Here’s a thread I originated, and in post 9 there’s one of my index posts to all the threads about the event at that time.

Unfortunately, you can’t get to many old links here, as legacy threads before a certain date can no longer be accessed via Free Republic. I’ve learned to stick those old URLs into the search engine at Archive.org, AKA The Wayback Machine.
