Cop who killed motorist was wearing Confederate flag T-shirt

CINCINNATI (AP) - A white University of Cincinnati police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black motorist was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a Confederate flag on it at the time of the shooting, according to evidence presented at the officer's trial Friday.


A photo of the black T-shirt with an image of the flag and the words "Great Smoky Mountains" was displayed during testimony from a crime scene technician. Former Officer Ray Tensing, who was fired after the shooting, contends he was dragged by the car driven by victim Sam DuBose. A prosecution expert witness said Tensing's body camera video of the shooting contradicts his argument.

Early Friday afternoon, Hamilton County Court Judge Megan Shanahan recessed for the weekend after ordering lawyers on both sides not to talk about the trial. She cited only "the issues that have arisen" in explaining her decision. Testimony resumes Monday.

Shanahan's order followed a late morning trial delay after the Cincinnati Enquirer requested questionnaires filled out by the jury. Shanahan said she would grant the request with identifying information redacted.

The Enquirer reported later it had withdrawn the request. Some jurors were reportedly concerned about the release of the questionnaires. Tensing is charged with fatally shooting DuBose during a routine traffic stop.

A use-of-force expert hired by the prosecution testified Friday that DuBose didn't present a threat to Tensing at the time of the shooting.

Research this case. White police officer who shot unarmed black man to death found guilty of manslaughter in Virginia - LA Times

There's a film about it called "Unarmed Black Man" it exposes a lot about the cop and that he had already killed a man and about his love of guns. He should never have been allowed to carry a gun, let alone be a cop.

The solution is to sue the police departments so much they can't afford to ignore the signs and allow unsuitable people into the police force.

that's a great idea! just like in Baltimore where the murder rate more than doubled due to lack of police activity, because the police are all afraid of getting arrested.
