Cincinnati Police Investigate KKK Flyers Distributed Across City

The Cincinnati Police Department is actively investigating the distribution of Ku Klux Klan flyers found in multiple neighborhoods, including Madisonville, College Hill, and South Cumminsville, following a recent racially charged fight in the city. The flyers, which call on white residents to arm themselves against people of color and criticize city officials, are seen as attempts to intimidate and spread hate in diverse communities. Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval condemned the flyers as hate brought by outsiders and emphasized the city's commitment to safety and inclusivity. Community leaders, such as Madisonville Community Council president Kate Botos, have rejected the messages and are cooperating with police investigations. The police have urged the public to provide any information or footage that could aid in identifying those responsible and are working to prevent further spread of such hate materials. This incident is part of a broader pattern of KKK flyer distributions in the region, including past occurrences in southwest and northeast Ohio and nearby Kentucky.
