Tensions rise inside Cincinnati City Hall as budget process comes to a close

During public comment in council chambers, chaos erupted when a man was asked to leave under the impression that he had already spoken. The man hadn’t had his turn yet, so when he refused to leave he was put in handcuffs and removed. This intervention by police sparked many others in the audience to stand up, yell and express anger about the man’s removal. Another public speaker was also handcuffed during the exchange.
