Incident caught on audio tape - Officer says it was "kind of fun"
A local minister who says police roughed him up and then
tried to cover it up will hear results of an investigation Monday
night. The Citizen Complaint Authority (CCA) says Cincinnati police
officers did indeed use excessive force against Reverend Donald Tye,
and then took steps hide it. Reverend Donald Tye owns a car repair shop
on May Street in Walnut Hills. Last march, a freshly painted Camaro
sitting on the street caught the eye of a police officer, because Tye
hadn't put the license plates back on yet. Tye says they "discussed"
whether the officer had the right to tow the car, then he just moved it
to his driveway a few houses down the street. Then a few officers got
into an altercation with his son Donnie, who was still inside the shop,
and they all wound up at Tye's front door. Tye says they forced their
way in, telling him he was being arrested. "Guns are being drawn and
I'm almost assured I'm gonna get shot, if I get shot, I'd rather them
shoot me in the back, so I turn and I start to walk away," said Tye.
According to Tye one of the officers pushed him down the steps. The
officer, Douglas Smith, then jumped on Tye. On the police car's motor
vehicle recorder, you can hear the officer talk about it. "Guess I got
a use of force cause I knocked the old guy down the steps," was on the
recorder.The officer is then heard on the recording saying, "kind of
fun," to jump on Tye. [more ]
