Refreshing your memory: On July 19, 2015, during a routine traffic stop, a white police officer who was wearing a Confederate flag T-shirt under his uniform shot African-American Sam DuBose in the head and killed him. DuBose was, of course, unarmed. His last words were “I didn’t even do nothing.”

The officer claimed that he killed DuBose because he feared for his life. (The magic words!) He reported that DuBose almost ran him over, and that “he was being dragged by the vehicle and had to fire his weapon.” Video from the officer’s body camera, however, proved he was lying. At no time did the vehicle drag or nearly run over him; rather, the officer shot DuBose through the driver’s window pretty much instantly, with no provocation.

Even with this video evidence, the predominantly white (9-3) jury was somehow unable to decide whether the white police officer who shot the unarmed black man in the head while he was trying to drive away committed a crime.

Again.
