The truth about what happened on 4th Street in July was never lost—it was buried. 3CDC’s cameras didn’t 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 chaos…yet City Hall flipped the story upside-down. The Mayor, Iris Roley, Damon Lynch, Cecil Thomas, some members of Council—they didn’t want Justice…they wanted optics. They needed a villain before the next election, so they chose Alex—the Russian man beaten in the street—as their target. The County Prosecutor refused to file charges against Alex—the victim, but the Mayor leaned on the City Prosecutor until an M4 Disorderly Conduct charge appeared out of thin air. The victim became the criminal—because that’s what the Mayor demanded. Pandering and optics. They built a false narrative—Alex “used the N-word,” Alex “started it,” Alex “slapped someone.” None of it is true. Our footage—frame by frame—shows 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 story—here are the timestamps down to the second: * 3:00:38…Rosemond sucker-punches Alex in the face with a right fist. * 3:00:42…Matthews punches Alex in the face with a right fist. * 3:00:53…unknown man kicked Alex in the leg. * 3:00:57…unknown man kicks Alex in the leg. * 3:01:17…Merriweather whispers something to Matthews. * 3:01:25…Alex pushes Merriweather’s face. * 3:01:26…Bucket-hat man punches Alex in the face with left fist. * 3:01:29…Merriweather punches Alex in the face with his right fist. * 3:01:30…Merriweather delivers left-hook to Alex’s face. * 3:01:35…Rosemond kicks Alex in the face. * 3:01:36-3:01:45–camera points to the ground, while people block the view * 3:01:45…Rosemond kicks Alex in the stomach. * 3:01:52…Alex is down in the street, as Rosemond stomps Alex’s head with right foot. * 3:01:52…Vernon punches woman in face with right fist. * 3:01:54…Wright reaches down to yank off Alex’s necklace. * 3:01:59…Vernon pulls arms back to strike woman in the face. * 3:02:04…Rosemond stomps Alex. * 3:02:04…Matthews stomps Alex. * 3:02:12…Matthews strikes Felix in the face with right fist. * 3:02:14…Kittles body slams Greg. * 3:02:18…Kittles takes his wallet. * 3:02:21…Kittles kicks Greg in the face. * 3:02:23…Greg kicks Greg in the face. This wasn’t a brawl or a fight—it was a visceral mob assault, that was started intentionally. The Mayor refused to watch the full footage—just the single clip that made his version look right. He called it a “slap.” It wasn’t. It was a desperate man, who knew he was surrounded—and had already been sucker-punched and kicked several times. But the Mayor acknowledging that truth would torch his campaign narrative of unity and equity…so he buried it. He told 3CDC to keep the footage sealed—only 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 year—after the ballots were counted. Why? Because truth doesn’t serve politicians—it threatens them. Because a brutal race-charged street attack doesn’t fit the Mayor’s agenda. Because keeping this video hidden fuels division that drives voter turnout. Stir up anger—pretend to heal it later. That’s 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 didn’t exist. The same footage that 3CDC locked away for months. Shameful. #vote #cincinnati #fyp #share #signal99 #FlipTheNati
