Does the DuBose Shooting Video Support Officer Tensing’s Account?

When I first saw the body cam video of then-University of Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing shooting motorist Sam Dubose, I was taken aback. It made no sense for a relatively friendly, even jovial, conversation to devolve so quickly into a brutal shooting. Even after covering policing issues and violent crime for two decades, it was shocking. But something about it did not seem right.

 

It started with prosecutor Joe Deters’ statement that there was “no threat” to Tensing from DuBose. Yet it was obvious DuBose had pulled away from Tensing and started his car. A lethal threat, justifying deadly force? Perhaps not. But certainly he was an actively resisting suspect.

Ok as soon as I see the name Charles M. Blow, I need go no farther. Without reading a single word I know beyond a shadow of a doubt what he will say. "Evil White (Fascist) Cop kills innocent black man for no reason (other than he has got to make his quota of dead blacks). And The System will cover it all up." (or words to that effect.)

 

Charlie is a walking definition of everything wrong with 1. the MSM 2. the NY Times. Particually in dealing with law enforcement & racial matters.

One can only hope Mr. Blow will take the time to look at mine.

 

 

Yeah...Like that's gonna happen!
