http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/body-cam-video-shows-uc-police-responding-sam-dubose-shooting-n401231Samuel DuBose Shooting: New Body Cam Video Shows Police Response
New body camera video released Thursday shows the fatal shooting of Ohio motorist Samuel DuBose from the perspective of the two other University of Cincinnati police officers who responded to the scene.
Officers David Lindenschmidt and Phillip Kidd responded to the scene after UC Officer Ray Tensing shot and killed Samuel DuBose.
In one of the newly released videos, Lindenschmidt appears to corroborate Tensing's original story that he was dragged by DuBose's car when talking to other officers arriving on scene.
"They had a traffic stop, the guy took off on him, the officer got caught in his arm, cause the guy reached for something he thought, so he grabbed on the car, that officer went down when he got tangled in the car, and fired," Lindenschmidt says.
Officer Kidd, whose body cam video shows him running over to the shooting scene, also said he saw Tensing being dragged by DuBose.
"He was dragging me," Tensing said to Kidd.
"Yeah I saw that," Kidd responded.
In the official incident report on the shooting, Officer Eric Wiebel writes that Kidd said he saw DuBose's car drag Tensing.
"Officer Kidd told me that he witnessed the Honda Accord drag Officer Tensing, and that he witnessed Officer Tensing fire a single shot," Wiebel wrote.
Video released from Tensing's own bodycam showed that he was not actually dragged by the car. Tensing was charged with murder Wednesday. He pleaded not guilty Thursday morning and is being held on $1 million bond.
In a statement posted on the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio's website, the organization urged people not to jump to conclusions when viewing the body cam video.
"Before everyone casts the stone of judgment, let's remember that this is a tragedy for all involved. We understand and appreciate public concern each time an officer is faced with the incredibly difficult, split-second decision to defend himself. Officers work hard every day to protect the public and stop crime," Bruce Szilagyi, Chairman of the FOP Ohio Labor Council said in the statement.
Lonnie Soury, a representative for the University confirmed that the two other officers, Kidd and Lindenschmidt, are now on administrative leave.
"We are investigating what happened with all of the officers. Their actions and the actions of Officer Tensing are being currently investigated by the University Police Dept," Soury told NBC News.
The Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office also confirmed that they are investigating other officers involved in the incident after they were asked by DuBose's family. The office would not provide the names of the officers.
Everybody listen to pig union.. Don't jump to conclusions.. Don't believe what eyes and ears are telling you.. Because that's not fair to lying racist pigs who want there pig buddy to get away w/ murder... -

http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/07/30/criminologist-uc-officer-charged-lying/30890861/Criminologist: UC officer could be charged with lying
The fallout within the University of Cincinnati Police Department continued Thursday as two officers were placed on administrative leave in the wake of the fatal shooting of motorist Sam DuBose.
Officers Phillip Kidd and David Lindenschmidt were put on paid leave as a result of an internal investigation, UC spokeswoman Michele Ralston said.
The suspensions came just hours after former Officer Ray Tensing was arraigned on a murder charge in the July 19 shooting of DuBose, 43. They also followed the public release of Kidd’s body camera footage, in which the officer can be heard corroborating Tensing’s claim that he had been dragged by DuBose’s car.
“Yeah, I saw that,” Kidd said twice.
“They didn’t see anything,” Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters countered on Thursday. He said his office is looking into whether Kidd or Lindenschmidt should face charges related to their statements after the shooting.
“We promised the family we’d look at what they said and how they said it, but I did urge them to remember that our focus is on the shooting,” Deters said.
Philip Stinson, a Bowling Green State University criminologist who gathers data on officer arrests, said Kidd appeared to have made a false statement that could warrant a criminal charge.
“I would expect that to be forthcoming,” Stinson said. “It was a false statement. The video evidence doesn’t support it. The elements of a crime are there.”
Both Kidd and Lindenschmidt testified before the grand jury that ultimately decided to indict Tensing on the murder charge, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. By law, Deters cannot discuss grand jury testimony.
In the incident report regarding DuBose’s death, Officer Eric Weibel wrote: “Officer Kidd told me that he witnessed the Honda Accord drag Officer Tensing, and that he witnessed Officer Tensing fire a single shot. It is unclear how much of this incident (Lindenschmidt) witnessed.”
Attempts to reach the officers were unsuccessful Thursday. The Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, the union group that represents UC officers, urged people not to jump to conclusions in the case.
“People who watch an encounter on video using the slow motion setting to determine what happened have a luxury that police on the street don’t,” Chairman Bruce Szilagyi said in a statement posted on the organization’s website. “We make split second decisions. Some are right, some are wrong, but all of our decisions are made with an eye toward protecting the public and ourselves.”
Kidd previously had been involved in the 2010 death of Kelly Brinson, a mentally ill man who died a few days after being restrained and Tasered at the University Hospital, where he’d voluntarily sought medical help. According to a settlement in the case, Kidd and Weibel – who wrote the DuBose report – both were named as defendants in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Brinson’s family.
Footage from Tensing, Kidd and Lindenschmidt’s body cameras have been released to the media. Each offers a different perspective of the deadly traffic stop in Mount Auburn, where DuBose was stopped for not having a front license plate on his car. At one point in the video from Kidd’s camera, he asks Tensing what DuBose was reaching for. Tensing replies, “He kept reaching around. I told him to step out of the car until he could produce a license.”
Shortly after, Tensing can be heard telling a separate officer that he thought he was going to be run over, to which Kidd replies, “Don’t – don’t say anything.”
At another point, Kidd tells an off-camera officer that “Lindenschmidt and I saw it.”
“Did you see him being dragged?” the officer asks. Kidd replies, “Yes.”
None of the videos released thus far appear to show Tensing being dragged. Deters dismissed Tensing’s dragging explanation Wednesday as being fabricated to justify the fatal shooting.
University of Cincinnati police officer Phillip Kidd's body camera video from the scene of the fatal shooting of Samuel DuBose.
“I think he was making an excuse for a purposeful killing of another person,” Deters said.
Stinson, the criminologist, began tallying officer arrests as part of his doctoral dissertation. He so far has compiled seven years of arrest data, from 2005 to 2011. In that time, more than 6,700 officers faced various charges in the United States.
Of those, 6 percent, or 401 officers, were charged with making a false report or statement. Two percent were charged with destroying or tampering with evidence, and 4 percent were charged with obstruction of justice.
Just shy of 13 percent, or 854 officers, were charged with official misconduct.
Stinson said that while it appears Kidd’s version of events doesn’t match the released video evidence, that doesn’t mean he intentionally lied. Eyewitness reports are notoriously considered unreliable in criminal cases.
“The mind does not always have an exact recollection of what actually happened,” Stinson said. “I suppose that would be a defense that could be raised.”
But he said it’s also possible that the inconsistencies could highlight an oft-overlooked habit of some officers to engage in “creative report writing.” Stinson, a former officer, said he saw it happen many times while he was a cop.
“In some police departments, it seems to be a common practice to make the narrative of the reports correspond with what’s needed for the arrest but not correspond with what really happened on the streets,” said Stinson, who said this case highlights the value of body camera footage. “It seems as if we’ve pulled back the curtain here and exposed a secret practice of some law enforcement officers in some police departments to simply write false reports.” -
This is sad man...
Dude is home sleeping in his bed while a innocent man is in the grave -
he should have never gotten a bond in the first place...

You sure it wasn't Sams telekinesis being used on the officer? He probably pulled him out psychically after he was shot. You know we always develop supernatural powers in a crisis. Er tragedy -

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/31/samuel-dubose-officers-corrorborated-false-claimTwo other officers at Samuel DuBose shooting scene will not be charged
Two officers who witnessed the shooting of unarmed 43-year-old Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati will not face criminal charges, despite seemingly corroborating a false claim that DuBose’s vehicle dragged officer Ray Tensing before he was fatally shot.
University of Cincinnati police officers Phillip Kidd and David Lindenschmidt were placed on administrative leave on Thursday after their body-camera footage of the incident was released. It shows both were behind officer Tensing at the time the shooting occurred.
In the footage both Kidd and Lindenschmidt make comments, confirming Tensing’s claim he was “dragged” by DuBose’s vehicle before the officer shot him. An incident report, written by a separate officer, and published two days after the shooting, also carries Kidd’s claims that he witnessed Tensing being dragged. This claim was later dismissed as false by Hamilton County prosecutor Joseph Deters who, after reviewing Tensing’s body camera footage, charged Tensing with murder.
On Friday, as Tensing was looking to get his job back and questions were being raised by federal officials whether false police reports could constitute obstruction of justice, Deters’ office announced that a grand jury had declined to bring any charges against the other two officers.
“Two UC officers arrived on the scene as Tensing was reaching into Mr Dubose’s car. Both officers made comments at the scene but later were interviewed in depth by Cincinnati Police Officers about what they had had witnessed,” a statement from the county prosecutor’s’ office said. “In their official interviews, neither officer said that they had seen Tensing being dragged.”
Deters said on Friday he was in full agreement with the decision.
“These officers were totally cooperative in the investigation and consistent in their statements,” he said in a statement.
He added there was “some confusion over the way the initial incident report was drafted” but added the document was “not a sworn statement by the officers” but “merely a short summary of information”.
“These officers have been truthful and honest about what happened and no charges are warranted,” said Deters.
It was unclear on Friday what charges the other officers at the scene had faced before the grand jury, which heard testimony from both Kidd and Lindenschmidt.
But Chris Bryant, a professor of law at the University of Cincinnati, said in an email they “might have been considered for indictment on obstruction of justice charges”. (The prosecutor’s office did not respond to a request for clarification.)
“In all jurisdictions, this would require some act or omission intended to interfere with the gathering of evidence,” Bryant said. “The question would be whether there is sufficient evidence that occurred here.”
According to Ohio state law, an individual may be considered for obstructing justice if they “communicate false information to any person”. In addition, “if the crime committed by the person aided is … murder” obstruction of justice is considered a third-degree felony under Ohio statute.
The decision by the prosecutor coincides with an announcement on Friday by the US Justice Department that an Alabama police officer was convicted of excessive use of force and obstructing justice.
The officer, Brett Russell, forcibly removed a “compliant and non-resisting” individual – identified by local media as Gary Wayne Hopkins – from the back of a police cruiser and “repeatedly punched and kneed” the detainee. Hopkins was then placed in leg shackles and transported by Russell to a local hospital for his injuries, the Justice Department said.
“Russell subsequently wrote and submitted a false report claiming that [Hopkins] tried to kick and head butt the officers,” the justice department said in a news release. “Further, Russell omitted from the false report any reference to the fact he had used force on [Hopkins].” The officer faces a maximum sentence of 20 years on the obstruction count.
While submitting a false police report “could” constitute obstruction of justice, Bryant said the Hamilton County prosecutor’s line of reasoning appeared to check out.
“ think that it makes sense for a prosecutor and a grand jury to look at all the evidence, including subsequent statements, in assessing whether an individual has acted with an intent to interfere with the gathering of evidence so as to commit the crime of obstruction,” he said. -
http://m.wlwt.com/news/union-files-grievance-over-uc-officers-firing-after-murder-indictment/34467348Union files grievance over UC officer's firing after murder indictment
CINCINNATI -
A police union has filed a grievance over the firing of former UC police officer Ray Tensing after his indictment on a murder charge.
Cathy Brockman, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, told WLWT News 5 that Tensing is a member of the FOP Ohio Member Council and that that the union has a collective bargaining agreement with the University of Cincinnati.
That agreement spells out how discipline is handled, Brockman said.
Brockman said that Tensing was terminated without just cause and without the due process of a pre-disciplinary meeting. The grievance seeks Tensing's reinstatement.
The grievance will likely be held in abeyance until the outcome of the criminal charges.
Tensing is accused of shooting and killing Sam DuBose during a traffic stop on July 19. He was indicted by a grand jury this week on charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter.
Tensing is currently free on bond ahead of an Aug. 19 hearing.

I get this though. Under SWORN statements they said they didn't see him dragged. No perjury or falsifying documents if that's the case. Still hope they die in a manner unfit for humans
