When is enough, enough? Isn’t it time for the Mayor to wrangle his rabid dogs? How long should we, as citizens, turn a blind eye to those instructed to protect and serve when they only attack and violate? This reporter has had enough!
Have you been paying attention?
July 6th: “Citizen” dies from explosion at July 4th Celebration.
July 10th: Video evidence is submitted to the Chronicle about human trafficking and Dark Web Exploitation.
July 15th: City DA resigns after Blackmail video is leaked to the public.
July 16th: Two dead at hands of OHPD in violent shootout. No press release. No victim IDs.
July 17th: “Terrorist” attacks city.
July 20th: The “Surgeon” , a prominent figure on the Dark Web is publicly revealed by the Chronicle.
July 22nd: OHPD “Raid” The Pit Stop.
I entered the Pit Stop Saturday evening to the promise of good times, and great company. From the moment I arrived there were cheerful calls of, “Yeehaw!”, “Darn Tootin’”, and good natured cowgirls hat-tipping one another. No sooner had the Best Bartender in the City begun pouring shots there were boisterous demands from the entrance as officers in full riot attire sealed off the Pit Stop’s only exit.
What moments before had been fun, good natured comradery was quickly suffocated by bellowing calls, "OHPD, PARTY'S OVER"... "ON THE GROUND.. FACE DOWN!"

At the bar, we found ourselves rushed by armed, masked officers. Batons and guns raised. When in our confused state demands to get on the ground were not readily followed, tear gas was deployed. Everyone in the establishment was handcuffed, dragged to the station, and subjected to hours of endless questioning regarding drugs. Drugs that the Chief of Police refuses to acknowledge in an interview with my fellow reporter, Venus Zapedzki.
What drug do they want? “O” - What is it? Probably another false excuse to harass upstanding citizens, and distract us from the fact two individuals were murdered just in front of the police station! Officials have failed to provide statement, identification, or so much as a peep on whether or not those were the individuals involved in the recent kidnapping spree. Likewise, they’ve been silent on the Chronicle’s Editor naming The Surgeon. Has he been arrested? Is the ‘O’ to distract us from the fact the Police are doing nothing to put known assailants behind bars?
I think so. Perhaps it’s time the police department invests in a PR firm to cover these press releases and keep the citizens of Onyx Heights informed, and vigilant to the real threats lurking in the shadows. I know someone who might be up to that task-
Mr Mayor, I really think it’s time you give me a call.
