In April 2022, Valentino was pulling into her police precinct when a group of cars blocked her way while parking near the city’s high school to pick up students.

Police body camera footage shows the agitated cop turning on her sirens, insisting the drivers move. As Valentino’s sirens blare, a Black teenager is seen walking by and giving the middle finger at her, which sets the officer off, WCPO reports.

“You gotta move,” Valentino said. “F****** ridiculous, f****** a*******. Is she gonna f****** just sit there?” Valentino said.

“Oh, I f****** hate them so much, God, I hate this f****** world,” she said as she rolled down her window at the precinct gate.

A Cincinnati police officer, Rose Valentino, called a young Black man who flipped fer off a fvcking N-word, and that she hates fvcking N-word’s! She says she seeked mental health immediately after the incident, but she cannot be trusted to police Cincinnati, a 45% Black city. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/TLynBw4pBF

When she rolls her window back up, Valentino can be heard muttering, “F****** n******,” she said. “I f****** hate em.”

Valentino, who trains rookie Cincinnati police officers, is suspended during the disciplinary process.

In a statement, Cincinnati’s interim city manager John Curp said Interim CPD Chief Teresa Theetge had suspended Valentino’s police powers.

“Officer Valentino will not be on city streets in uniform, wearing a badge, or carrying a firearm,” Curp said.

“We hold all of our employees, and especially our sworn police officers, to high standards,” Curp said. “The body camera video of Officer Rose Valentino is disturbing. I expect CPD to thoroughly investigate this matter and recommend discipline in strict accordance with the city’s disciplinary procedures,” he added.

“Officer Valentino will not be on city streets in uniform, wearing a badge, or carrying a firearm,” Curp said.

The Cincinnati police union believes that although the usage of such language is “wrong,” the officer is entitled to a fair disciplinary hearing under the union.

“I was appalled to see Officer Valentino display such hateful, angry and racist language. Our law enforcement represents all of this city and Black Cincinnatians deserve to feel safe knowing they will be treated with mutual respect,” Mayor Aftab Pureval said in a statement.

“A fair and complete process needs to play out, but someone demonstrating this behavior has no place in a world-class organization like CPD,” Mayor Pureval said.

Valentino has a history.

Remember the Black Realtor and homebuyer who were handcuffed while looking at a house? Federal lawsuit with a $155k settlement?

Same person.

“Does not have any racial biases.”

Under the pending investigation, Officer Valentino blamed the mental pressures of the job and music for influencing her racist choice of language.

Valentinos admitted she is “desensitized to racially offensive language by music and hearing people talk on the street” and “frequent exposure had allowed the slur to slip into her vernacular.”

This incident is not Valentino’s first run-in with aggressive behavior since her start in 2008.

In 2018, she was found guilty, along with two officers named in a wrongly reported break-in lawsuit, where Valentino pulled out a gun and handcuffed a Black realtor showing a Black client a home. The city later settled the suit for over $100,000.

The Cincinnati Police Department has a history of officers using racist language and violence against people of color.
