Cincinnati Police Chief Terri Theetge was placed on paid administrative leave after she was sued for anti-white bias.
“The City continues to face serious public safety challenges that underscore the need for stability at the command level. 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,” said City Manager Sheryl Long, WLWT reported.
“Assistant Chief Adam Hennie has been named interim chief,” the outlet reported.
Recall that Theetge previously blamed social media after a violent mob of mostly black males beat a white couple at jazz festival over the summer.
Teresa Theetge held a press conference on the beating of the white couple.
Theetge said five people in connection to the mob beating were charged. She also blasted social media posters for their coverage of the mob beatings.
“The post that we’ve seen does not depict the entire incident. That is one version of what occurred,” Theetge said.
“I think by the irresponsibility with social media is it just shows one side of the equation quite frequently without context, without factual context, and then people run with that and then it grows legs and it becomes something bigger that we then have to try to manage as part of the investigation,” she said.
“Social media and mainstream media and their commentaries are misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding any given event,” she added.
