YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFormer University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing has been released on a $1 million bail after pleading not guilty to the murder of Sam Dubose. Tensing, who is white, fatally shot the 43yearold AfricanAmerican man on July 19 after stopping him for not having a front license plate. Two additional officers, Phillip Kidd and David Lindenschmidt, have been placed on administrative leave. Meanwhile, new information shows that Officer Phillip Kidd and another officer on scene during the Dubose shooting were involved in the death of an unarmed AfricanAmerican man five years earlier. According to documents revealed by The Guardian, Phillip Kidd and Officer Eric Weibel were part of a sevenofficer team that tased and shackled a mentally ill man who was having a psychotic episode. We speak to Iris Roley, longtime police accountability activist with the Cincinnati Black United Front. She is the cousin of Kelly Brinson, who died after being tased and restrained by University of Cincinnati police officers in 2010. Two of the police officers involved in Roley’s cousin’s death were at the scene of Sam Dubose’s shooting and later lied to investigators to try to corroborate Officer Ray Tensing’s false claim about being dragged by Dubose’s car.
