Remember the Black Panthers who went to a banquet where Mrs Bush was guest speaker in an attempt to intimidate here - some of these "Panthers" armed with Uzis, and ones who were not armed with this guns like the Israelies carry about presumably they were felons and could have been picked up. This is the work of the NAACP and ADL and it has been in the making since Bush won the election......like King schemed for the riots using his call to Macedonia - his riots were timed - but he professed not to know what the left hand was doing while he spoke words of peace. What was it he said - I want to be your brother, not your brother in law.....really? Look at TV today and who controls what and it is the same scenario...... Remember the 5 people murdered in Witchita by this many pig tailed savages....sodomized, raped, tortured - one was to be a priest, the other lady was a celloist - this were nice people and oh these are under privileged people...... If Cincinnati burns they deserve it for not calling out the troops - this is the same old line. One Black Panther stated years ago during the rioting where Washington burned and not a damned thing was done about it - for these are poor deprived black folk....this guy said he wanted to come with the heads of the McClellan Committee-------strange this is the Committee working to put away organized crime figures, and JFK and RFK worked with them at one time. These are not Farrakhan's men; this is your NAACP in action and Jesse Jackson has taken his zulus to the streets. Saba Mayor declares curfew in Cincinnati 'It is dangerous and getting more dangerous' Cincinnati police arrest an unidentified man during Wednesday's unrest, which was sparked by the police shooting of an unarmed 19-year-old black man. MSNBC NEWS SERVICES CINCINNATI, April 12 � Mayor Charles Luken declared a state of emergency and curfew in Cincinnati Thursday, saying parts of his city resembled Beirut after violent protests over the shooting death of an unarmed black man by police. "It is dangerous and getting more dangerous," he said. He also said the National Guard may be brought in to restore order. 'I think the black citizens are tired and scared, I think the white citizens are tired and scared.' � CHARLES LUKEN Mayor of Cincinnati LUKEN SAID the citywide curfew would be in effect from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and that police would "clear the streets" of people during those hours. Only people going to and from work will be allowed on the streets, he said. "The time has come to deal with this seriously," said Luken, who was interrupted during his news conference by protesters. "The message ... is that the violence must stop." Luken said his first priority was to restore order, then look into complaints of police brutality against blacks. TENSIONS RISE The fatal shooting over the weekend of Timothy Thomas, 19, by a white officer sparked days of unrest, a federal investigation and calls for accountability. Thomas was killed as he fled Officer Steven Roach, who was trying to arrest him for failing to appear for misdemeanor charges and traffic violations. Roach's union said he feared for his life during the encounter. Tensions between blacks and police have heightened over the past few years. Since 1995, 15 black men died at the hands of police, including four since November. Small groups of vandals roamed several neighborhoods Wednesday night and early Thursday, breaking windows, looting stores and assaulting at least one white motorist who was dragged from her car, police said. Others in the neighborhood came to the woman's aid. Local coverage from WLWT-TV POLICE OFFICER SHOT A police officer was shot Wednesday night. The buckle of his gun belt caught the bullet and saved him, though he was severely bruised, Luken said. No arrest had been made in that shooting. Advertisement Youths reinvaded several stores that had previously been looted in Over-the-Rhine, a poor and predominantly black district just north of downtown. "I think the black citizens are tired and scared, I think the white citizens are tired and scared," Luken said. At least 66 people have been arrested on such charges as disorderly conduct, criminal rioting, obstruction, felony assault, theft and breaking and entering since the violence began Monday. 'BEAR WITH US' Luken said he signed a document minutes before the news conference declaring the state of emergency, and City Manager John Shirey authorized the curfew to begin Thursday night. "We don't like the fact that we have to declare a curfew," said the mayor, who was flanked by five of the nine city council members. "For 99.9 percent of the citizens of our city, a curfew is completely unnecessary. We ask our citizens to bear with us." It was not immediately clear how the curfew would affect a planned nighttime town meeting called by Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He had planned to lead the meeting Thursday night at a church near downtown. A man interrupted Luken at the news conference to ask whether the mayor was ready to meet with a group calling itself the New Black Panthers. He was pulled out of the room after shouting that the mayor was a "liar." "That's the kind of incivility we've been dealing with," Luken said.
