City Councilman Larry Sykes says he was racially profiled and stopped by a Toledo Police officer. It allegedly happened April 25 after 9pm when he was leaving an event. His license plate reads 4DRWBLK which stands for "4 driving while black." He was stopped by a new police officer. TPD is investigating. There's dash cam video of the incident. The video can't be released until the investigation is finished. The video will allow citizens to determine if Sykes was a victim of racial profiling. More tonight on 13abc Action News.


Emphasis mine.

I find it very curious that a government official would have that license plate.

So yeah...

Meanwhile, the Toledo Zoo is kicking ass in this poll.

That's one of the odd things about this town. We've seen hockey teams come and go, watched malls rise and crumble, sat back while school levies fail, but the Toledo Zoo gets funded non-stop.

What's really odd is that nobody here really talks about it, yet everyone goes there, and is crazy proud of it.

You know you're a Toledo native if you have a childhood picture on top of the concrete buffalo.

I had no idea Toledo had a zoo.  

John Denver didn't mention it in the song from which I get all the information I know about Toledo.

Kenny Rogers mentions a bar that is still there in "Lucille."  Rumor has it Alice Cooper's "Welcome to my Nightmare" is about Toledo.

The Toledo Zoo won that contest. Voted best in the nation.

Meanwhile, after an investigation and a scathing two page article written by Larry Sykes, it has been discovered that he is full of shit. I know it's shocking that a guy whose license plate displays his bigotry would be found to be inventing a story about racism. He's been asking to step down by two of the bigger labor unions in Toledo. So far, he's refusing.
