Officer Tensing may not have lied. I don't know if there is a universal definition of "drag" in this kind of circumstance. Officer Tensing would have had to make the decision to shoot before he was pulled off of his feet and his body was pulled along the ground since any aimed fire would have been impossible at that point. Officer Tensing could then have been run over by the rear tire or abraded to death by the road. Having his hand hypothetically grabbed by the driver of a car in gear with its engine on with the driver showing a clear intent to illegally drive away meets my definition of "drag" regardless of the speed of forward movement.
The auto rolled forward and knocked Tensing to the ground, NBC News reported. She said release of the video could jeopardize a fair trial in the future. The police officer then asked Mr Dubose to step out of the auto, after which a struggle ensued. At some point, Tensing fired a single shot and Dubose – who was shot in the head – was able to restart the vehicle and begin to drive away, Whalen said.
lol...
I've seen the report Ronald, but it now seems to have had it's link compromised somehow. I'll find another when I get time.☺
Officer dragged before shooting, ‘had to fire’ gun, Cincinnati police report says
Btw, I have seen the officers report.
Not only did he lie, but so did his partner/co-conspirator.
