The police chief who lambasted media for covering white people being brutally beaten by black people has been placed on administrative leave. According to Collin Rugg:
Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge has been placed on administrative leave “pending an internal investigation on the effectiveness of her leadership.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe move comes after Theetge said criminals need to “learn how to behave” after two people were shot.
She also recently shamed people on social media for sharing video footage of a woman getting violently beaten because the video didn’t “depict the entire incident.”
“The City continues to face serious public safety challenges that underscore the need for stability at the command level,” said City Manager Sheryl Long.
“Therefore, I’ve named Assistant Chief Adam Hennie as Interim Police Chief. Our focus remains on maintaining stability within the department and ensuring the highest standards of service to our residents.”
“I have full confidence in Interim Chief Hennie and the department’s command staff to continue their dedicated work at this time.”

Police chiefs should not be diversity hires. They should not side with criminals while insulting victims. Most of all, they should do what it takes to fight crime, not fight the righteous narratives voiced against them. Cincinnati is very likely much safer than it was before.
