Of course, some demonstrations seek up unannounced like today’s environmentalists who are hanging from a bridge to block an icecutter leased by an Alaska oil company.
If someone can get more of a direct video feed ping me.
It’s a bit odd they would put this up on a projector type screen. This was digital so they should be able to feed the link direct.
The University of Cincinnati closed down this afternoon as police officers prepare for riots
Thanks, Old Sarge.
Are they gonna riot tonight or not? I’m planning the evening and need to block out some tube time if it’s a go.
Might be they’re just looking for another opportunity to loot...it does seem to pay off...then after the destruction our tax dollars can send them more to rebuild and clean up. Do it’s a two-fer for them.
I’ve now watched the video several times and I think there may be some unknown factors that could potentially justify this shooting. Immediately before the shooting Mr. Dubose appears to start the car and put in gear, thus exhibiting his intent to drive away against Officer Tensing’s lawful command. It’s not clear on the video to me what is happening with Officer Tensing’s left hand at that moment. If Mr. Dubose was in any way holding Officer Tensing’s hand then I believe that Officer Tensing may have legitimately felt that he was in mortal danger of being dragged to death given Mr. Dubose’s clear intent to illegally drive away. If all this happened this way, then I think that at that time this shooting might have been justified.
Watch the video. This was out and out murder.
Cops better start figuring out how to have these cameras become accidentally damaged during the arrest. FAST.
OR....lots of Cops gonna just say F it and quit.
then the citizens will have to shoot these punks....and most of us don’t have body cams.
Pay the rioters $5000 each!
My call on this one: Driver starts car, puts car in gear. Cop reaches in to stop him. Driver maybe grabs cop’s hand/arm (hard to see for the convenient blur). Cop anticipates going for a 60mph drag and shoots.
I might be mistaken in my interpretation but I could see that going through a person’s mind in the split second one has to think about it.
Boy, this incident sure makes the case for body cameras.
So we all know the “black guy getting pulled over procedure” now. When the cop makes a lawful request, such as your license or that you submit to arrest, DONT STOP TALKING. Say you ain’t getting arrested or ask questions over and over and over again about the reason for the stop while repeating “I didndu nuffin”. Then you are never to blame.
Or you could just give the cop your damned license.
Also, 70 arrests. 10 children that we are doubtless paying for. Yep, great loss to society. Forgive me if I don’t cry.
Look folks, just another Obamabot thug with a rap sheet as long as your arm, no driver’s license and a wise guy!, to boot!!! The cop overreacted, but, with good reason, because he was standing in a dangerous zone, for this “Obama” low life thu.......trying to injure him, when he attempted to drive & run away!!!
This over, politically correct, charge will not remain murder....manslaughter would be more fitting!!! IMHO......both the Obama thug & the cop equally hold the guilt of this man death...which was caused solely by his own unlawful actions!!!
