Family of motorist fatally shot by campus cop protests

Minutes later, he was dead.

Cincinnati police, who are handling the investigation, said Tensing saw Dubose driving without a front license plate around 6:30 p.m. Sunday and tried to pull him over.

Officer Ray Tensing reportedly has five years of experience with law enforcement and has been working for the University of Cincinnati Police for over a year. If you do not want to look at the law and just use your common sense, it should be clear why we are not releasing the video only a few days after the incident occurred.

“There was a struggle at the door with Mr. Dubose in the vehicle and the officer outside the vehicle, and the vehicle sped away”,

Cincinnati police Lt. Col. James Whalen told reporters, according to CNN. Once the auto was stopped the officer approached Samuel and asked for his driver’s license.

Still, it’s unclear how the routine traffic violation turned deadly. A spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office said she wasn’t sure whether the video would be released even after the investigation.

UC Police have conducted 2006 traffic stops since January 2015.

The auto rolled forward and knocked Tensing to the ground, NBC News reported. Ono said in a statement. An Associated Press review of his UC personnel file didn’t indicate any problems in that time. “Therefore, reform is in order, and it’s the right thing to do”.

But he said the University of Cincinnati Police Department has no control over certain areas.

“If UC officers are allowed to patrol city streets, then UC officers should be held to the same standards as Cincinnati officers”, Roley said. She did not have data on how often the officers make off-campus arrests.

WKRC reported Dubose’s family rallied outside of the university’s police department Tuesday night demanding to see the video captured on Tensing’s body camera.

Friends set up a memorial Monday morning with balloons and candles at a utility pole close to the scene of the crime. The officer, who was treated at a hospital Sunday and released, sustained bruised legs and his uniform was torn during the struggle.

“He was full of love”, Dubose’s 17-year-old son told newsnet5.com’s sister stationWCPO. “He was so helpful and he was always around”. “He used to baby-sit for my daughter”. What men do that?

Thomas took a megaphone and asked about the protesters to “keep the pressure on” while maintaining a “non-violent peaceful protest”. It was later discovered that Samuel Dubose was not in possession of a weapon. “But we didn’t get to do that because he died”.

This isn’t the first time University of Cincinnati police have made headlines.
