Part 2/13:
Despite the compelling video evidence, Cincinnati Police Chief Terry Thie attempted to downplay the incident during a press conference. She claimed that the footage circulated online was just "one version of what occurred" and implied that it did not represent the full context. Authorities and media critics strongly denounced her remarks, highlighting the clear brutality captured in the videos. Critics questioned whether her comments served to deflect responsibility and avoid addressing the failure to prevent or respond effectively to the violence.
