The truth about what happened on 4th Street in July was never lostโit was buried. 3CDCโs cameras didnโt miss a thing. They caught every stomp, every kick, every punch on 4th Street that hot July night, after the Jazz Festival. A large group of black men and women swarming and beating a small group of white men and women, who were waiting for rides home. No sound. No audio. Just violence. The victims were trapped against cars, pavement, and chaosโฆyet City Hall flipped the story upside-down. The Mayor, Iris Roley, Damon Lynch, Cecil Thomas, some members of Councilโthey didnโt want Justiceโฆthey wanted optics. They needed a villain before the next election, so they chose Alexโthe Russian man beaten in the streetโas their target. The County Prosecutor refused to file charges against Alexโthe victim, but the Mayor leaned on the City Prosecutor until an M4 Disorderly Conduct charge appeared out of thin air. The victim became the criminalโbecause thatโs what the Mayor demanded. Pandering and optics. They built a false narrativeโAlex โused the N-word,โ Alex โstarted it,โ Alex โslapped someone.โ None of it is true. Our footageโframe by frameโshows the attackers were never even inside the club. The victims were outside, waiting for rides at the time of the brutal attack. The video log tells the storyโhere are the timestamps down to the second: * 3:00:38โฆRosemond sucker-punches Alex in the face with a right fist. * 3:00:42โฆMatthews punches Alex in the face with a right fist. * 3:00:53โฆunknown man kicked Alex in the leg. * 3:00:57โฆunknown man kicks Alex in the leg. * 3:01:17โฆMerriweather whispers something to Matthews. * 3:01:25โฆAlex pushes Merriweatherโs face. * 3:01:26โฆBucket-hat man punches Alex in the face with left fist. * 3:01:29โฆMerriweather punches Alex in the face with his right fist. * 3:01:30โฆMerriweather delivers left-hook to Alexโs face. * 3:01:35โฆRosemond kicks Alex in the face. * 3:01:36-3:01:45โcamera points to the ground, while people block the view * 3:01:45โฆRosemond kicks Alex in the stomach. * 3:01:52โฆAlex is down in the street, as Rosemond stomps Alexโs head with right foot. * 3:01:52โฆVernon punches woman in face with right fist. * 3:01:54โฆWright reaches down to yank off Alexโs necklace. * 3:01:59โฆVernon pulls arms back to strike woman in the face. * 3:02:04โฆRosemond stomps Alex. * 3:02:04โฆMatthews stomps Alex. * 3:02:12โฆMatthews strikes Felix in the face with right fist. * 3:02:14โฆKittles body slams Greg. * 3:02:18โฆKittles takes his wallet. * 3:02:21โฆKittles kicks Greg in the face. * 3:02:23โฆGreg kicks Greg in the face. This wasnโt a brawl or a fightโit was a visceral mob assault, that was started intentionally. The Mayor refused to watch the full footageโjust the single clip that made his version look right. He called it a โslap.โ It wasnโt. It was a desperate man, who knew he was surroundedโand had already been sucker-punched and kicked several times. But the Mayor acknowledging that truth would torch his campaign narrative of unity and equityโฆso he buried it. He told 3CDC to keep the footage sealedโonly to the City. 3CDC obeyed. And County Prosecutor Connie Pillich and Judge Alan Triggs went along with the blackout. Public Records Requests for this video by the media were denied. The public was never supposed to see this video until next yearโafter the ballots were counted. Why? Because truth doesnโt serve politiciansโit threatens them. Because a brutal race-charged street attack doesnโt fit the Mayorโs agenda. Because keeping this video hidden fuels division that drives voter turnout. Stir up angerโpretend to heal it later. Thatโs the game. Naturally, Signal 99 got the footage. All of it. Several members within the Criminal Justice System made sure we got the videos. The same videos that City Hall pretended didnโt exist. The same footage that 3CDC locked away for months. Shameful. #vote #cincinnati #fyp #share #signal99 #FlipTheNati
