Not long after he started speaking, Mann tried to silence the crowd but was also berated by the protesters who were standing up close to the stage.

Man told FOX19: 'This went from an emotionally charged evening to close to a mob.

'We had one speaker who spoke in favor of the police, and he was shouted down. I said, "Hey listen folks, we are here to listen to each other," and then I was shouted down.

'Frankly it seemed to me we lost the purpose of the public hearing. I said, "This meeting is adjourned." At that point the platform was surrounded by scores of people. At that point I thought this, "I don’t want to stay and I don’t feel safe right at the moment."

The committee chair said that he did not regret his decision to call the meeting off because he'd been left with no choice.

I said, “Hey listen folks, we are here to listen to each other,”

That assumption was his first mistake.

Yes. Democrat run. Black democrat police chief. Wimpy mayor. City horribly run. Had a huge fight about a street car 10 years ago, they built it anyway. Nobody rides it, its a bust.
20 years ago the city folded on a federal consent decree, way before Obama made consent decrees fashionable.

He wrote “We’ve only just begun” and “An old fashioned love song” and he was great in Smokey and the Bandit.

These idiots that wand to defund the police had better think twice. It’s the police that protect the blacks from everyone else. Get rid of the cops and it will be open season. The veneer of civilization is very thin.

Was going to note the "culturalism" of Cincinnati - because they have a zoo and an amusement park.....

But....decided that they ARE a zoo that happens to have a secondary amusement park...
