Urgent calls for the firing and arrest of a top Cincinnati councilwoman emerged Wednesday after she allegedly said she was “grateful” for the vicious pummeling of white citizens and that “they begged” to be attacked.
“They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story,” is attributed to Victoria Parks, president pro tem of Cincinnati City Council, in a comment thread discussing Saturday’s violence in which a mob is shown horrifically hammering numerous white people.
“Cincinnati Councilwoman Victoria Parks needs to step down. So does the Cincinnati Police Chief. They are both defending criminal behavior,” urged one person on X.

Other comments online include:
“This should be an immediate termination condoning and supporting this kind of attack.”
“So you sanction a beating because he did what … ? Breathe? Or you just know he deserved it? And I’m sure the woman is equally guilty.”
“I hope the victims sue this hag.”
“@PamBondi please start arresting these public officials for crimes against people.”
“Thank you Barack Hussein Obama for setting race relations back to 1870.”
Fox News reported the FBI has now opened an investigation into the attack, as three of the five suspects charged in the mayhem were arraigned Wednesday.
Those appearing in court were Dekyra Vernon, 24, Montianez Merriweather, 34, and Jermaine Matthews, 39, who face charges including felonious assault and aggravated riot.

WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported: Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney Connie Pillich “made a strong statement after watching video from the fight that has been seen by millions across multiple platforms.”

“In order to dissuade people from committing these types of offenses, I’m going to throw the book at them,” Pillich said.
Parks announced in January she will not be running for reelection, according to WCPO-TV.

“Upon completion of this term, I will retire and hang out with my grandchildren and nieces and nephews,” Parks said.
“I look forward to picking up kids from football practice and piano lessons, volunteering on boards and spending my money on plane tickets. I have worked since the age of 14 and at the end of the year, I will reap the benefits of my work life.”
