US officer charged with murder after deadly traffic stop
- 5 years ago
A white Ohio police officer who shot a black man during a routine traffic stop was charged with murder Wednesday in what prosecutors called a "senseless" act motivated by anger.
University of Cincinnati campus police officer Ray Tensing initially told investigators that he shot Sam DuBose in the head after DuBose tried to drive away and dragged the officer along with him.
But a review of the officer's body camera footage showed Tensing was never in danger during the July 19 incident.
In an exclusive interview with Capital TV, President Obama spoke on the cases of unwarranted police violence against blacks.
