Officer Ray Tensing's body camera captured the moment he shot and killed 43-year-old Samuel DuBose during a traffic stop. Video of that incident was released on Wednesday.

Tensing was indicted on murder charges for shooting DuBose, with a prosecutor claiming Tensing "purposely killed him" and "should never have been a police officer."

Tensing claimed he was dragged by DuBose's car and forced to shoot, but the video from the body camera clearly shows Tensing firing while DuBose sat in his motionless vehicle, just after Tensing asked him to remove his seatbelt and DuBose started his engine.

I personally won't watch the video, but by all accounts it was cold blooded murder

1. has anyone done a frame-by-frame on the video. the flurry of activity

before the gunshot goes very fast

3. I don't know, but an unarmed man who poised no risk, starts his car, and his shot at point blank

range. Body cameras should be on ALL law enforcement

2. "should never have been a police officer."

And yet, he was.

Funny how that keeps happening.

4. speaks to the potential effectiveness of bodycams

i think there will have to be an initial stage where the police continue to do the same cruel shit but juries stop being quite as police-biased. after about 10-20 felony convictions in a month, cops will start noticing that they can no longer freely abuse the people they're supposed to protect and serve, and then police-caused violence will begin to diminish.
