White Officer Indicted on Murder Charges for Shooting Unarmed Black man

So, I live in SW Ohio, so this is blowing up the news today. The officer was indicted for murder and turned himself in. What blows my mind is that this was a University of Cincinnati officer. I understand the area around that campus can be dangerous, but the UCPD officers aren't currently held to the same standards or given the same training as the Cincy PD. If they're going to patrol the university area, they should have to meet the same requirements. Even the prosecutor said "Tensing should never have been a police officer," and "there should not be a UCPD."
There's a rally being held tonight, UC cancelled all classes today, and everyone's preparing for violence/riots.
The police officer was wearing a body camera, luckily, or else this could have also been swept under the rug. Here's a link to the video, but WARNNG: some might find it graphic. I suggest skipping forward to about the 3 minute, 30 second mark. It's choppy and noisy, but you can see the officer pull the gun, fall backwards after taking the shot, and the officers screaming at each other/ the already dead Samuel Dubose.

This is a good example of the criminal justice system working, the cop has been indicted on murder charges and will most likely be found guilty in the court of law.
So a (white) cop unjustly killing a (black) citizen is a crime that will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, justice will be served when the circumstances dictate it.

Yes the cop clearly lied about being dragged under the car. And the guy didn't drive off until he'd already been shot in the head. He probably died fairly quickly. RIP
Let's be honest though, if it hadn't gotten caught on his body cam this guy would probably get off scott free.

You might be correct with that assessment. Will the MSM report a case where justice is served when their favorite scenario (white cop kills black man) occurs? There's some reporting, but not much.

They're probably going to charge the 'witness' cop who lied for UC officer Tensing too.

My guess is the university police don't have the union to back them up. Union thug tactics are why real cops are never indicted,

They did say that the body camera was critical. I would have to agree with you, chopstick, Tensing would have gotten away with it if he hadn't been wearing the body cam.
So, I'm guessing the MSM isn't covering this much outside of the SW OH region then? No, I guess not. It's too peaceful for them, there are some demonstrations going on. I swear the MSM here keeps bringing up the possibility of rioting just to try to incite civil unrest.
I was wondering if they would charge the cop with Tensing or not. I hope they do, I'm so sick of the "police are above the law" mentality.
And this is all about cops killing people, that is the main concern. But this is important because they're going to keep killing people as long as they can keep getting away with it.

I think it's about to be picked up in mainstream media. This has been the cover story for Al Jazeera online 5 hours now. It's going to end up being a case to follow and cite in the history books on whether body cams are considered evidence or if they are public record, and what a campus officer role should be.
If you change the thread title to 'White Officer Indicted on Murder Charges for Shooting Unarmed Black man', this thread will get more views, OP.

I know Tensing has been indicted, I'm wondering if the other police officer with Tensing at the time of the shooting will be charged with anything for lying and covering for Tensing.

Yup. Lovely SW Ohio. I believe there are a few Shroomerites in this general area, hopefully I'll meet some of you face-to-face someday. Pretty sure I've run into a few of you guys ovoid hunting at patches that are better known/shared. Apologies for adding to the competition.
