As RedState reported, a woman was sucker-punched and left incapacitated in Cincinnati in an incident that quickly went viral. What sparked the fight remains an unknown, and authorities haven't exactly been forthcoming with information. They have been forthcoming on other things, though, which we'll get to momentarily. 

Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke to the woman, revealing that she's a single mother named Holly and that she was attending a birthday party. He also accused Cincinnati PD of not having any presence in the area despite a major music festival going on nearby. 

Some initially claimed this was a racially motivated attack, given that the victim was white and the assailants were black. We simply don't have any evidence of that at this point, and one extended video shows Holly's male companion throwing the first punch (or slap in this case). We'd need to know why the original argument started to get a gauge on what motivated the altercation.

Regardless, the actions of a male companion don't excuse savagely sucker punching a woman who didn't get physical in any way. That's the reality that needs to be remembered as we get to Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge's public statement on the matter. 

Instead of taking responsibility for her department's failures and unequivocally condemning the attack on the woman, Theetge blamed social media and the press for "distorting" the incident, claiming the videos of it lacked "context." 

THEETGE: Another topic I want to cover real quick. Social media and journalism and the role it plays in this incident, and yes, guys, that's you. That is you. Social media, the posts that we've seen, does not depict the entire incident. That is one version of what occurred. At times, social media and mainstream media and their commentaries are misrepresentations of the circumstances surrounding any given event. What that does, that causes us some difficulties in thoroughly investigating the activity and enforcing the law. Cause what happens, that social media post, and your coverage of it, distorts the content of what actually happened, and it makes our job more difficult. 

Is there some requirement that left-wing cities have female police chiefs who are terrible at their jobs? It seems like every time a story goes national involving crime in a major blue city, the same archetype is always in charge. Are we to believe that these women are truly just the best of the best and being selected on merit alone when around 88 percent of police officers are men? New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Washington, Oakland, Portland, Louisville, and Seattle all have female police chiefs. That's not because they were selected without gender bias in mind. 

Sure enough, Theetge is a big fan of DEI. Her social media bio includes the phrase "advocate for inclusion," and her policies track that. In fact, four veteran officers of the department filed a lawsuit in May charging that DEI initiatives had discriminated against them. 

Putting that aside, though, what kind of statement is that from Theetge? If she's going to claim there's some grand missing context, shouldn't she share what that grand missing context is? What haven't we seen that would justify the attack on the woman in question? Because she pointedly proclaimed there's more to the story. 

Yet, when pressed to reveal what that is, Theetge clammed up and repeated her same talking points. 

REPORTER: You had said social media had distorted the content of what actually happened. What exactly was distorted? I understand that there were multiple views of the video, but what exactly led up to this, I mean, what was distorted? 

THEETGE: So I think the irresponsibility with social media is that it just shows one side of the equation quite frequently without context. Without factual context, and then people run with that, and then it grows legs, and it becomes something bigger that we then have to try to manage as part of the investigation. 

Okay, so tell us what that "factual context" is. That Theetge wouldn't do so, even when pressed, is telling in and of itself. She could have easily said "race didn't play a role here" (if that's the truth) while condemning the attack. She didn't do that, though, choosing to keep yammering about context while providing no additional context. 

Whatever the full story is here, Theetge isn't helping matters. The fact that she's all-in on DEI likewise doesn't speak well of her leadership abilities, nor her ability to investigate this case without bias.
