Police officers in #Cincinnati appear to have corroborated a false account of the fatal shooting of Samuel DuBose in the immediate aftermath of the incident, a detailed analysis of body-camera video released on Wednesday shows. DuBose, an unarmed 43-year-old #blackman, was shot dead by white University of Cincinnati police officer #RayTensing on 19 July. The officer claimed he was “dragged” by DuBose’s vehicle following an altercation during a routine traffic stop, and was therefore forced to open fire, shooting DuBose once in the head. On Wednesday, Tensing was indicted for murder after Hamilton County prosecutor Joseph Deters said body-camera footage, which he released at a press conference announcing the charge, showed the officer was not dragged during the encounter. “It is our belief that he was not dragged. If you slow down this tape you see what happens, it is a very short period of time from when the car starts rolling to when a gun is out and he’s shot in the head,” Deters told reporters on Wednesday. The footage shows that Tensing falls back, after DuBose is killed instantly by a single shot to the head and immediately chases after the vehicle. Deters said that DuBose’s limp body probably caused the car to accelerate. A Guardian analysis of the nearly 28 minutes’ worth of Tensing’s body-camera footage released by the prosecutor’s office also shows the aftermath of the shooting and reveals that on three occasions, two other police officers repeat Tensing’s account that he was dragged by DuBose, and one of these officers claims to have witnessed it occurring.

By @dericmuhammad PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY @ WILLOWBROOK MALL (3pm)!!! "Jesse Valdez" SPEAKS OUT! Mr. Valdez, the young man being arrested in the attached video, is a 22 year-old entrepreneur and senior at Prairie View A&M University. He was approached by a pct. 4 officer for riding his "Segway" board through the mall and ended up spending the night in jail for a bogus charge of resisting arrest. He was treated worse than an animal. The video speaks for itself. It's open season on young Black brothers and sisters. Today, Pastor E A Deckard, myself, Jesse, his family and concerned members of the community speak out in his defense. JOIN US!!!

By @dissident._ via Did you know that you can be arrested for speaking in America? These people were traveling when they stopped at a gas station in Texas to use the restroom. They saw that the police had a man pulled over and had him out of his car, so they began filming. Afterwards the police confronted them about their filming, and this man used "profanity". He was told that if he said one more cuss word, he was going to jail, to which he promptly replied "fuck you".
