The two white victims shown in a now-viral video of a brutal attack in Ohio “begged for that beatdown,” one Cincinnati councilwoman said. Victoria Parks, a councilwoman who started her term in 2022, made the statement on Facebook after a mob of largely black people was caught on camera stomping on and punching a white man and woman.

Authorities made a third arrest in the Cincinnati beatdown case after viral footage showed a couple being attacked by a crowd outside a nightclub.
