Cincinnati man charged with racial abuse of Uber driver, whom he threatened with slurs and violence

CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati man has been charged with ethnic intimidation, criminal damaging and disorderly conduct after an Uber driver accused him of a racist assault.

Michael Winterman, who has also been banned from Uber, was “highly intoxicated” when he entered driver Abdelkadre Khamis Ahmat’s vehicle on May 28, according to Cincinnati police. Near the end of the ride, Ahmat’s GPS failed and he asked Winterman for verbal directions to his destination.

Instead of providing them, Winterman called 911 before threatening Ahmat — a Black man who came to the United States from Chad — with violence and racial slurs.

"I hope to hell you get shot," Winterman slurs in Ahmat's recording of the interaction.

At one point, Winterman exited the vehicle and began to vandalize it.

Ahmat stepped outside and attempted to stop him. Winterman punched him, fell to the ground and smeared his own blood on the window of the car.

1. Don't passengers have to provide their credit card to sign up for UBER?

That camera is a necessity.

Otherwise, UBER was automatically siding against the driver.

3. Most gig economy companies default to the customer's side

...unless there is proof and it's totally outrageous. And it's still up to their discretion, the contract you signed says so.
