A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing after he killed an unarmed black man during a routine traffic stop.
The body cam footage seen on the following page shows Tensing pull over 43-year-old Sam Dubose for not having a license plate on the front of his car. After a brief verbal exchange, Dubose appears to try to leave the scene. First, Dubose would not allow the cop to open his door, then the Dubose starts his car and tries to drive away, the officer responds by shooting Dubose in the head.
The prosecutor in the case claims that the car was just ‘rolling away’. You be the judge…

If this person had gotten out of the car this would have been avoided. He first told the officer the car was his and it was not. He couldn’t give proof of who he was. He resisted letting the officer open the door. He drove off with the officer half in the car. The officer at that time truly could have felt his life was in danger.
The result of the death was from the person in the car not complying with the law. If the person had gotten out of the car and did what I would have done, there never would have been a weapon pulled.
The actions of the officer had been provoked even if it is found to be extreme. It is so easy to say what should have happened after the fact.
Kind of like a person can shoot or even kill a cop, kid, mother or father… then throw their gun down, hold their hands up and by law the threat is not longer present to support self defense. This is the same in this case, the officer did not shoot after the fact. The weapon was used as the danger was present. The prosecutor, I believe is being politically correct and not doing what should be done. Like support the fact the officer was forced to act.
Our country is going to the dogs more each day.
The reason in the early 90’s I enlisted in the military instead of staying in law enforcement. Today the military has the same problem. SAD! ( At the same time, you and I can only go off one video. I want to hear the other officers stance on the story.
Where was the driver who got shot in the heads dude process????
In his choice to not obey the policeman. Since we don’t have a time machine the only due process left in this case is for the officer!
The black guy shouldn’t of drove off as simple ad that
Yep school starts, they need those smash and grab shopping specials.
Officer should be charged with murder!
Ahm…. Why did the cop lie in his official report saying he was dragged by the car? Y’all conveniently omitted that. Smh
The officer will get off.
But he should not.
A car is a weapon…he didn’t stop and got dropped! End of story!
The thing y’all are not taking into account is that they were drinking monster energies and talking about future construction prospects in the neighborhood. No regard for human life.
