Yesterday Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge said that they’ve already charged five people in the violent beatdown that happened in her city and that they expect more.

She also chastised people who were watching the beatdown, saying only ONE person out of around 100 called the violent incident into police.

 
Theetge also reprimanded social media for blowing up only part of the video, misrepresenting what actually happened and making their job harder.

Note that Rugg mentions the chick who got knocked unconscious as the chief’s complaint in this context, but she NEVER mentioned that specifically in the video he shared. I don’t know why he’s tying that in – maybe he left it out of the video he cut? Or maybe he just didn’t hear it properly…

One person said that if social media hadn’t blown this up, then it might not have gotten any coverage and therefore the attention of police. That may be true, and it’s good it got shared far and wide in my opinion, but she did say they got one 911 call and suggested her officers were on the way.

I would like to know what social media got wrong about this and how it made their job harder. Sometimes partial clips are the only clips that get shared, and they have to investigate it fully anyway. So I don’t really get the complaint.
