White Presumacy: Mostly White Jury Can't See White Cincinnati Cop Murder Black Man in Video of White Cop Murdering Black Man: Mistrial
/"A mind that is filled with belief is a mind which can project anything according to the belief. When you see things always remember this." [MORE] In the presence of Blacks racists cannot see things as they really are. Racism white supremacy is a virus in the mind. [MORE] The racist's eyes are filled with thoughts and all sorts of idiotic programming about niggers clouds their thinking. Anything done in this sleeping state will be stupid. Maybe this is what happened to the white jury when they saw this video of Ray Tensing shooting Samuel DuBose in the head after a 'no front tag' traffic stop.
From [HERE] and [HERE] Cincinnati trial judge Megan Shanahan declared a mistrial on Saturday after the jury [10 whites] declared that it was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on murder and manslaughter charges in a case involving the shooting of the unarmed Samuel DuBose, a black man, by white Police Officer Raymond Tensing in July 2015. Shanahan previously encouraged the jury to reach a verdict stating that there was sufficient evidence to decide the case, but accepted the jury's deadlock status after nearly three days of deliberations.
White officer Ray Tensing fatally shot Samuel DuBose, 43, during a traffic stop as Mr. DuBose started to drive off. Mr. Tensing, 26, claimed that Mr. Dubose’s car was dragging him and that he fired at him because he feared he would be run over. The encounter was captured on video and set off protests.
Mr. Tensing was charged with murder and voluntary manslaughter. A murder conviction — which requires jurors to find that he had intentionally killed Mr. DuBose — carries a sentence of 15 years to life in prison.
A conviction on voluntary manslaughter — which requires them to find that he acted in a fit of rage or sudden passion — carries a sentence of up to five years.
The jury of 10 whites and two blacks began deliberating just after noon on Wednesday.
On July 19, 2015, Mr. Tensing pulled over Mr. Dubose’s 1998 Honda Accord a few blocks south of campus for having no front license plate.
Body-camera video released by prosecutors shows Mr. Tensing asking Mr. DuBose for his license and Mr. DuBose eventually acknowledging he does not have one with him. Mr. DuBose shows the officer the missing license plate in his glove box.
After the officer starts to open the driver’s door, Mr. DuBose pulls it closed and restarts the car. In several chaotic seconds, the engine can be heard revving, the officer reaches into the car with one hand, yells “stop” twice, and draws and fires his gun once with the other hand.
Mr. DuBose, a father of 12 was shot in the head by the white cop. The authorities said that several bags of marijuana and more than $2,500 in cash were found in the car. His license had been suspended indefinitely months before. [obviously the cop did not know any of the above information until after he murdered Dubose because he does not have x-ray vision and does not have the gift of prophecy - but a racist journalist/jurist might find those facts compelling in some way]
A report by a risk-consulting firm hired by the university said that the video showed that Mr. Tensing was not being dragged, that the car had barely moved before the gunshot was fired and that Mr. Tensing had made several critical errors — including drawing his gun and reaching into the car.
The white cop was wearing a T-shirt depicting a Confederate flag under his uniform at the time of the shooting. [MORE]
Mr. Tensing was fired after the indictment.
In January, the university agreed to pay $4.85 million to Mr. Dubose’s family and provide an undergraduate education to his 12 children.
At trial, prosecutors and their expert witnesses told jurors that the video showed that Mr. Tensing was not being dragged. Apparently the white jurors saw something else.
Mr. Tensing, who had four years of law enforcement service with various departments, testified on Tuesday that his arm was caught inside Mr. DuBose’s car as it began to move and that he feared for his life. Regardless of what the video showed, Mr. Tensing’s lawyer said, the officer had the “perception” that he was being dragged and fired in self-defense.
