Are street barricades in Cincinnati working or pushing drug dealers to new locations?

City officials placed temporary water barricades on Republic, between Liberty and Green streets, on May 13 for a six-month trial period. Then last week officials added temporary fencing along the side of a recreation center on Republic Street, to block crowds from gathering underneath a popular overhang for shade and shelter.

Cpd likes to do no work. Hiding, eating multiple lunches for hours on end. Prosecutors don't want to add a few minutes per case to argue for violent felons to be held. Makes you late for happy hour at 4. Lol

[@captng]

If you show up to early the paperwork is double...so bit can please shut up

[@alphabravo7366]

So we think the barricades are going to stop them from dealing? Or just move them somewhere else…..

[@LSPalm]

Policing obvious messed up situations requires CPD to put down their phones 3rd, burrito of the shift. Sentencing and having violent felons held longer/harder requires prosecutors argue a case more. Making them late for happy hour.

🙄oh no, they put up barricades; that'll stop them

That’s where I used to buy my drugs over 20 years ago. So unfortunately he is the outsider. The dealers have been there a lot longer than them.

[@LSPalm]

That bald yuppy must have just bought those buildings he owns recently. With no research

[@JL-tk1pq]

Same here. And it's so quick I don't think barricades are going to matter at all

[@LSPalm]

A good chunk of those drugs are sold to the craft beer "young professionals" . That now work from home and day drink all day. That live in the 3k a month apartments south of Liberty in OTR.

Why are the CPD interviewed always slouched over and looking like they want to take a nap?

[@robingibert4215]

They didn’t care as long as they took OTR the Findlay mkt that big dumb soccer field and everything else this is a little Karma from the 90year old woman y’all forced out

[@82stuntman]

Did taking 2 lane streets down to one lane stop those "teens" from driving like dumb animals? Will barricades do anything to stop thpse same "teens" from destroying the communities they are in? Perhaps we can iust vote in city leadership that will get tough on the criminals that are plaguing out cities.

[@LSPalm]

Prosecutor underlings not arguing for holds and hard sentences on repeat felons teen and adult. Is an issue too.

[@LSPalm]

Dude must be a millionaire. Council and CPD listen to him. They seldom id ever listen to the people actually getting attacked and robbed. @wcpo9
