At approximately 10:26 PM, Jordan radioed his dis patch center requesting the Ohio license plate “FSA3495” (Timothy Russell’s vehicle) be run only for “info ,” stating the vehicle was parked at East 22 nd and Lakeside. Dispatch advised Jordan that it checked “clean ,” providing the year, make and color of t he vehicle, along with name and city of the registered owner and expiration date of the registration. Officer Jordan claimed to have initiated a traffic stop of the subject vehicle on East 18 th Street, between Rockwell and Superior, after observing a turn signal violation.

They all went totally hysterical after hearing a noise as the suspect vehicle drove by, thinking they were being shot at....wow..

[dragnet2]

Reading the report, officers were reporting over the radio the suspect vehicle rammed police cars, other reports had an officer down, and yet others had the passenger pointing a gun at them through the back window..and the suspects were shooting at them...

None of this was true...The cops clearly went hysterical...

After reading the OH AG’s report, I can say this:

1. Those cops are incompetent. They endangered their fellow officers. The bullet holds in some of the cop’s cars were caused by other cops. Since the decedents possessed no guns, there is no other conclusion that can be drawn.

2. The “evidence” upon which the assumption was made that the decedents were armed is speciously thin. As the car “was passing by,” an officer “heard” a loud report that “sounded like a gunshot?”

Then the completely specious report that the passenger was “aiming a gun out the back window.”

Yea, that’s hilarious. Broadcast that over the radio net, and suddenly everyone is in on the chase.

3. The final situation looks like something out of the Keystone Cops capers.

All the officers in on this mess should be fired, lose any pension vesting that they have and be prohibited from working in any public capacity ever again. They’re simply too incompetent for the job at hand.
