University police officer charged with murder for shooting of Samuel DuBose

Samuel DuBose, 43, was killed on 19 July by a single shot to the head fired by University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing during a routine traffic stop, in which DuBose was pulled over for not having a front license plate. What a perfectly vicious little circle; A black person pulled over by white cop for a relatively minor driving offense fears for his life, so tries to escape from the situation before things take a turn for the worse. To prevent the felon from escaping the officer shoots him in the head!

"The university does a great job at educating people that should be their job, being police officers should not be their job"
"The traffic stop occurred near the university's main campus, and UC police have said the intersection was within the campus's police jurisdiction" Wait so hold on. The university has their own private police force which patrols the university itself and it's grounds. And they are doing traffic stops and have guns? Why exactly? Are frat parties that out of control? There are some facets of the USA i will never understand. |

Private police forces are quite common in the US especially "Campus Cops". What's unusual is that this happened off campus and on a normal street.

You do begin to wonder if the US police are going completely mad.

Campus security is NOT the same as having your own police force.

People are still baying for blood after the 'murder' of Cecil the lion, but no so much in this thread. I suppose that answers the question of whether the lives of animals are as important as the lives of humans.

We don't have seemingly private police forces who are fully armed patrolling our Universities though do we?

The officer was reckless at best from what I can see.
I'm glad I live in a country where officers licensed to carry firearms are carefully selected and trained properly. I've met some coppers who I wouldn't trust to tie their own shoelaces, never mind carry a loaded gun, and I'm sure America is no different. |

So the cop asked for his license continually after. Being told By the driver that he didn't have it. The killer cop then tells the driver to undo the seat belt whilst opening the car door. What happens next is unclear. Next we see the cop shouting and running after the car. Another cop appears with his gun aimed at the car which has stopped. The driver appears to be motionless behind the wheel. Killer cop turns off his body cam.
Interesting...... Why was this cop stopping drivers on a public street off campus? Why did he open the car door? ". ". He refuse to check on his radio that the driver wasn't disqualified? He seemed to want to have an altercation with the driver who was calm and co operative. Looks like he was operating outside of his jurisdiction. Too many mentally challenged fools are given uniforms and weapons in America. |

I eagerly await the "I'm not defending the cop, but here's why I think it's the victim that's to blame" posts from the usual suspects

It remains to be decided if he was indeed dragged.

The video makes it fact. Hence, the verdict.
