Radio & Cable Access Talk Show Host, The Lovely J.R.

When: Friday, April 7, 2006

Time: High Noon – 12:30 p.m. (DURING LUNCH HOUR W/ Street PARKING)

Where: Thirteenth & Republic in OTR

Mr. Tim Thomas was shot to death by Cincinnati Police Officer Stephen Roach on April 7, 2001, at 13th & Republic Streets.


We feel that Mr. Tim Thomas was a victim of Police Brutality. It has always been OUR stance that Police who kill unjustifiably should go to prison – which seems to never happen in the city of Cincinnati.

The killing of Tim Thomas by Cincinnati Police Officer Roach sparked the 2001 melee/rebellion.

We expect a large, peaceable gathering. The agenda will be prayer, speeches, and distribution of information primarily on topics surrounding Police Brutality.
