Steve Roach [who] was indicted by a Hamilton County, Ohio grand jury on misdemenor counts of Negligent Homicide and Obstructing Official Business for his rolein the April 7 shooting of Timothy Thomas…. The Thomas shooting,

sparked a wave of protests in the city…
“The owner of the ovimc.org is currently in consultation

request for logs from the Seattle IMC site. According to a
post at the Ohio Valley IMC, the request is for naught, as the ‘custom
written software [for the site] doesn’t keep IP logs, or ANY tracking
information for that matter.'”
