A judge ordered Ray Tensing, the fired University of Cincinnati police officer who fatally shot unarmed motorist Sam DuBose after a routine traffic stop, to be held on a $1 million bond on Thursday. Spectators in the courtroom burst into applause after the judge’s announcement, causing her to call for order.
Tensing pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.
Now, that’s the picture they should show of Tensing in news reports.
I hope he rots in hell and other various and sundry things
Sean Hannity will have to spend at least one full evening slot bellyaching about this cop getting a raw deal. He’ll share the desk with three Uncle Toms that agree white people have it real bad.
I think this guy has a real problem. His bodycam video isn’t remotely related to his story of what happened. I understand that his lawyer is still pushing his report of what happened instead of trying to explain the video. At best the video shows he reached inside the car and grabbed the driver while he was pulling his pistol. The driver’s foot might have come off the brake at that point which might have caused the officer to discharge his pistol. Another way to look the video is the officer reached for the driver with his gun drawn. He shot the driver in the head and the drivers foot came off the brake. Either way the officer was the aggressor. There was no justification for the officer to grab at the driver.
My guess is in 6-12 months the cop pleas to manslaughter.
What’s truly alarming is that, without that video, he’d walk.
