Many of us have been wrapped up in the Sandra Bland case, but police brutality, murder and violence around the country hasn’t taken a break because we haven’t been paying attention.
Unarmed, untreatening Sam DuBose was shot in the head and killed in cold blood by University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing.
Tensing has been officially charged with murder for shooting and killing Sam DuBose during a routine traffic stop two weeks ago. Prosecutors released the indictment and video from the Tensing’s body camera.
Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters said Tensing is “on administrative paid leave, and hopefully soon he’ll be on administrative paid leave in a justice center,” at the press conference before showing the video.
Everyone who has seen the video had no doubt this was cold blooded murder.

“I was shocked … it really broke my heart. It’s just bad. It’s just bad what he did,” Deters said, describing the shooting as an “intentional killing of another human being.”
The prosecutor noted DuBose was dead instantly after being shot in the head, but “he fell forward and must have pressed on the gas,” and Tensing had to chase after his car.
The shooting occurs a little after the 1:47 mark in the video:
