MAC Tour Starts with Media Buzz
The MAC tour has not even officially started, and already the MAC crew members have been putting their cameras to work. At a march in Cincinnati, Ademo and I were able to capture senseless police violence on video. A man by the name of Dan Joseph, was tased by a Cincinnati police officer. The officer has not been identified at this time.
The story was carried by multiple Ohio lamestream media outlets.

“I’m walking down the street and one of the cops tried to push me over to the side with his vehicle. He comes over and tries to push me over, so I flipped him off, which is not illegal at all,” Joseph said. “Soon as I turn around, I saw that cop jump out of his car, jump on his radio, single me out, which at that point I was in fear for my life.” – Dan Joseph

“I don’t know where it went sour to where they felt like enough was enough and they wanted to stop us and be overly aggressive” – Talis Gage

Police say four people were arrested in Cincinnati over the weekend during a rally for local victims of police-involved shootings.

Awakened Cincinnatians, the group that organized the march, have planned another demonstration for Saturday night. “This time not only are we gathering for justice for Samuel DuBose, we also gather for the innocent protesters who got roughed up, Tased, and arrested for peacefully protesting the death of Samuel DuBose and others”
Police violence is nothing new to Cincinnati, or the state of Ohio. Just 2 months ago University of Cincinnati police shot and killed Sam Dubose. He was over a half mile away from the school. He was killed by Ray Tensing for failing to provide ID.
Michael Brelo jumped on the hood of a car and fired 15 bullets into a car 4 seconds after all other officers stopped shooting. He was the only officer charged in the deaths of Timothy Russell, and Melissa Williams. He was found not guilty on all counts.
John Crawford was shot in a Wal-Mart while carrying a BB gun. Officer Shawn Williams fired the fatal bullets. Wally World withheld the tape, at the request of the police. The department covered it up and Williams was exonerated of all charges.
With the start of the MAC tour a success, Ademo and I are hoping to keep up the flow of quality content that exposes police for the criminals, and liars that they are. Make sure to keep up with our adventure at the MAC page for recent content, upcoming stops, and ways you can be involved to help make this endeavor a raging success.
