lowry from the washington post. i know you ve been covering this extensively. how is this body camera footage gelling with what deeters had told us? to me i m not seeing the pivotal part that he told us we were going to see. i m not either. and again, this is the first view. we ll obviously get this video in our own hands to watch and analyze a little deeper but again what the officer said what officer tensing claimed happened was that he initially he had a few different stories. he was caught in the vehicle or being dragged by the vehicle. i didn t see that there. so let s go back. deeters is saying here when you see him accelerate the car he was dead already. let s listen in. you moved up the release to the video today. initially it was yesterday. yesterday? or tomorrow. we got done. we got done with the grand jury. is that the end of the video
i m going to treat him as a murderer? certainly. he says he s going to treat him as a murderer. this is someone teakspeaking about a sworn police officer. he called the traffic stop that led to this death a chicken crap stop. called it so senseless and said when he first watched the video he can t even use the words that he first thought of. this is a prosecutor that s clearly very upset about whatever it is we re about to see in this body camera video showing officer ray tensing shooting in the head sam dubois. kendall coffey joins our conversation as well. kendall, explain as the questions were being asked of deeters about they are going to be treating this as a murder and whether or not it was first degree or not, it seems as if in the state of ohio that they don t have that type of differentiation between their charges? yeah they don t distinguish, as many states do between so-called first-degree murder and second-degree murder. if it is a purposeful killing of
so that is the full video re released today by the hamilton county s prosecutor s office after the murder indictment came back for police officer ray tensing. ray tensing turned himself over to authorities for allegedly shooting and murdering sam dubose. he s going to have an arraignment coming up tomorrow morning. we heard that the family was very grateful of the police body camera video. but as you saw in the last few frames there, after the car comes to rest and i think it came to rest against an electric pole or telephone pole another officer comes into frame from the right-hand side of your familiar screen. the family was worried of a backup story of officers to feed the narrative that tensing trying to give that he was in fear of his life dragged by the vehicle. i think in the exchange there all of our viewers can see exactly what was asked of sam dubose, the exchange back and
to seek charges against a university of cincinnati police officer in connection with the shooting of an unarmed black man earlier this month. the funeral was just held for that man yesterday. let s go ahead and listen into the prosecutor joe deeters. and he wasn t. he was simply slowly you re going to see it. he was simply slowly rolling away. that s all he did. also cops don t get indicted for murder very often in the united states. that s true. and you all have covered me for a long time. and you know that i probably this office has probably reviewed upwards of 100 police shootings. and this is the first time that we thought this is this is without question a murder. yes, sherri. the officer s attorney told us that the officer was dragged. the incident report suggests
a human being, there s no defense such as justifiable use of force, it s a murder. and i think it s to the prosecutor s credit that he s not giving any special treatment, any special favor. he s made his determination and he sees a murder and that s how he s going to treat this case. all right. so we know that the family again has seen the video itself. sam dubois was pulled over for not having a front license plate. here we see the officer getting out of his car. there was talk of the fact that dubois kind of rolled away. what s that?
