People in Cincinnati rose in rebellion in 2001 against police violence, foreshadowing the movement that got underway in response to the murder of Oscar Grant in 2008 and arrived on the world stage in 2014 with the uprising in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ferguson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ferguson</span></a>.
