() The Hamilton County Association of Chiefs of Police is citing “systemic issues” within Cincinnati’s judicial system following a brutal brawl that has gone viral.

In a statement obtained by , the association said it was appalled and deeply troubled by videos of the brawl, which showed a man and woman being beaten down by a group of people during the Cincinnati Jazz Festival on July 25.

“We are no longer willing to remain silent while gaps in the judicial process repeatedly undermine the tireless work of our officers,” the statement said. “It is not enough to arrest violent offenders if they are swiftly released back into our neighborhoods due to lax bail practices or insufficient sentencing.”

The association is calling for more transparency and accountability from the city’s judicial system and plans to host a roundtable discussion with judges, prosecutors and elected officials.

“We must have the ability to see exactly how criminal sentences are being imposed, how bonds are being set, and which judges are making these decisions from the bench,” the statement said. “This level of visibility will allow Police Chiefs across the county to better address one of the leading drivers of crime in our communities: repeat violent offenders.”

This statement marks the latest chapter in the backlash the city has received for its handling of the brawl, with residents expressing concern that it is a symptom of a “bigger crime problem.” So far, six people have been charged in relation to the brawl.
