Mike Myers has returned as Dr. Evil for a new Verizon commercial.

I’m curious who lives in a walkable neighborhood: If someone offered you $1 million and all you had to do was walk out your door, purchase a pack of M&Ms, and make it back home within twenty minutes, all without the use of a car, how many of you would make the money?

As we continue to review the ridiculously flawed Campaign Zero report regarding CPD contact card data…one thing has become abundantly clear—this report has serious methodology and data integrity problems. First, Campaign Zero did not partner with the Cincinnati Police Department during the development of this report. They did not sit down with CPD personnel to understand specialized assignments, deployment strategies, unit responsibilities, or even verify whether their conclusions accurately reflected reality. Instead, they analyzed a massive dataset and then published findings that accuse individual Officers and Supervisors of racial bias. That becomes a problem when the report starts naming names. According to numerous CPD Officers, Supervisors, and Command Staff members we have spoken with, portions of the report have already been audited internally and significant inaccuracies were reportedly identified. One example provided to us involved the number-one ranked “supervisor” on Campaign Zero’s list. We are told that Supervisor had ZERO contact cards personally attributed to him, yet somehow appeared at the top of a list portraying him as having the most racially disparate supervisory activity in the department. The methodology itself raises additional concerns. Many of the Officers and Supervisors highlighted in the report are assigned to specialized units such as the Violent Crime Squad (VCS) and the Criminal Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC). These units are not randomly patrolling neighborhoods looking for speeding tickets. They are assigned to investigate shootings, violent offenders, gang activity, gun crimes, and repeat violent criminals. Ignoring those assignments while publishing lists that imply racial bias strips away all critical context—as well as credibility regarding data integrity. The report also relies heavily on 2020 Census data as a benchmark while analyzing activity extending through 2025. More importantly, it attempts to reduce complex crime patterns, deployment decisions, intelligence-led policing, victim demographics, offender descriptions, and violent crime investigations into simplistic disparity ratios. When the data is questionable…the VCS and CGIC assignments are ignored, then there is zero context. Anyone can cherry-pic data…slap some graphics in there and publish a “report.” Campaign Zero and the Public Defenders Office should be ashamed of themselves. But hey—maybe they can write for the Enquirer. So when Supervisors and Officers working violent crime become the face of this report, reasonable people with an IQ over 40 should question whether the conclusions can be trusted. Right on time, Iris Roley not only denies any involvement in the Hamilton County Public Defender’s Office breathing life into this seriously flawed report—but she suddenly has the solution…a “Bias Free Problem Solving Team!” What remarkable timing. But I digress…that’s an entirely separate article to be published this evening. Attached are 4 of the 67 pages of the Campaign Zero Report. Look at it for yourselves. We have highlighted our favorite parts. You can reach out if you’d like the full report. Give us your thoughts. #fyp #signal99 #share #cincinnati

They’re terrified—bc the data is BAD. And it’s CPD’s own self-reported data. They’re scrambling.

It feels like Black people are under attack, physically and legislatively and it seems we're just going on life as normal
