Then why did the cop lie about it?

I'm not convinced Officer Tensing did lie. Please see my post #248 for an explanation under the set of circumstances I outlined in my post #235.

“Officer Tensing stated that he almost was run over by the driver of the Honda Accord and was forced to shoot the driver with his duty weapon (Sig Sauer P32). Officer Tensing stated that he fired a single shot. Officer Tensing repeated that he was being dragged by the vehicle and had to fire his weapon,” Officer Eric Weibel’s incident report says.

"I almost got ran over by the car. He took off on me," the officer says. "I discharged one round, struck the man in the head."

In a press conference describing the July 19 shooting, Cincinnati police said there had been a struggle during the traffic stop, but didn't mention anything about the officer reporting he'd been dragged.

And now we know why.

If you're not convinced by now, you never will be.

Both officers own words pretty much buried them.
