The Plain Dealer’s leaving the world backwards at $3 for a 4-day daily; and a $5 Sunday edition for $68 a month

CLEVELAND, OH – The feature image photo I took and published of the $3 per copy Plain Dealer and the 50 cents per copy Call & Post is from the general store that intersects at Bartlett and Lee Road in Shaker Heights.  It’s next door to Sam Sylk’s place. The Call & Post stack looks higher because it’s much thicker than the Plain Dealer.  Look under the Call & Post and you’ll see Plain Dealer’s.  Old copies of Plain Dealer’s are stacked up under others. The most this reader market will pay for a single copy newspaper regularly is about…

CLEVELAND, OH – Ward 2 Councilwoman Juanita Gowdy wants the videos in the possession of the Richmond Heights resident who serves unlawfully as East Cleveland’s mayor that show a member of the organized crime gang he leads threatening a certified law enforcement officer’s life.  The certified law enforcement officer had placed his bodycam on a desk to record himself entering evidence from an arrest that included marijuana, cocaine and cash.

CLEVELAND, OH – The first indication of the Tamia Chapman cover-up Cleveland police are engaged in is how the Caller on the incident report is identified in the “nature of the call” as a police, EMS, fire, auxiliary in trouble.  That’s the first lie.  The caller was employed officially for the Target Corporation at the time of the 9-1-1 call.  Specifically, the Caller was seated in his Chevy Silverado in the parking lot working as a Target security and safety worker with shopkeeper rights to observe and report crimes to municipal police.  The 9-1-1 call he made to Cleveland’s police…

There’s no warrantless pursuit resolutions between East Cleveland and Cleveland

/

CLEVELAND, OH – There’s a key element to Ohio’s warrantless pursuit statute that has been consistently ignored about Cleveland police crossing East Cleveland’s borders that have caused numerous deaths over the years.  Section D of R.C. 2953.03 requires there be an agreement that authorizes it between municipal corporations in the same territory.  No agreement.  Don’t cross the border.  “If a sheriff, deputy sheriff, marshal, deputy marshal, municipal police officer, member of a police force employed by a metropolitan housing authority under division (D) of section 3735.31 of the Revised Code, member of a police force employed by a regional transit authority…

Journalists should stop misidentifying “warrantless pursuits” as “police chases”

/

CLEVELAND, OH – Journalists must stop describing warrantless pursuits as “police chases” because it creates public confusion about the “legal” definitions of the criminal acts that are associated with them.  Warrantless pursuits are not video games.  Life isn’t “Grand Theft Auto.”  It’s the same with words like “carjacking.”  No such words exist in the Ohio Revised Code as a criminal offense.   What occurred on private property owned by the Target Corporation was the “theft” of an automobile by “force” which made it an “aggravated robbery.”  The individual who took the vehicle by force  was not “authorized to use it” which…
