Cincinnati Pastor Damon Lynch spoke at a press conference about the viral street brawl that has spawned racially divisive narratives. The conference itself was a combination of people from various parts of life in Cincinnati. Mayor Aftab Pureval and Police Chief Teresa Theetge. Lynch stated what many others in Cincinnati have said, that this was a street fight and not a racially motivated attack. He also said that the white male who is thought to be the victim in this case initiated the brawl, although the force he was met with was disproportionate. The general sentiment at this press conference is that the general public, mainstream media, and elected officials (mainly outside of Cincinnati) are being misled by phony narratives on social media.
