It's not every day that you see a prosecutor describe a cop's deadly actions as "a senseless, asinine shooting." But that's what Hamilton County prosecuting attorney Joseph T. Deters called the killing of Samuel Dubose, who was shot to death July 19 during a traffic stop. Ray Tensing, the University of Cincinnati campus policeman who shot Dubose, was indicted Wednesday on charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter. And like the
Never mind the fact that if you're stationary and a car is pulling away from you, it is fucking impossible to shoot the driver in the side of the head unless you're Reed Richards.
Now all of a sudden the "No matter how wrong and abusive Officer Friendly is, you must kowtow to him" crowd thinks they know more than the police themselves-"it's a conspiracy against the officer! The prosecutor is in cahoots with Obama and Holder and all the rest of the Blacks!"

"Willing to arrest and testify against bad cops?" Good luck with that. Video evidence gives the better cops a reason/excuse to step away from the thin blue line, and I'm betting that this is a major reason that they're in favor of the cams. "Sorry, Jack, but what can I do? They got it on video."

So 1950's paranoia wasn't limited to commies?
Honestly, this one isn't a very good entry. I could barely even manage to yawn with boredom.
TROLL HARDER, DUDE.
Alternate Universe ? How long for the rest of the country's gestapo pigs to return to the human race ?
They are prosecuting because he is a campus cop, not a "real" policeman. No thin blue line for him.
See or read "Serpico" for the result of that. It ain't pretty.
Not required in Baja Nebraska. If I drive my GeezerWagon to Ohio does I get shot?
¡No siga la pelota cuando hace la calle!
