The Shooting Was Justified:New Evidence In Pictures Show Cincinnati Cop Was Dragged By Samuel DuBose

Drove off.....Is that a reason to kill a person?

Is that what you simpleton minded call assault with a 3000 lb vehicle??

Interesting way the left wants to defy authority and then use a moralist argument to term it as wrong.............

Hey shit for brains, the black boy tried to drag the officer, that would be eluding and fleeing, resisting, battery with a deadly weapon ...............

Never ******* mind, way too far above stupid peoples pay grades ................

Prosecutor went to a lengthy investigation before charging this murderer. So you think the prosecutor is playing simian game like you? Resisting arrest or whatever the **** you want to call it. But it's okay to murder people You stupid monkey brain.

The footage was played over and over again last night on the Nancy Grace show. The officer's defense attorney was a guest on the show. The officer's defense isn't that he was actually dragged by the car ... it was his alleged fear that he might be dragged by the car. The "evidence" in the opening post fails to show that the officer shot (and killed) the driver and the car went rolling off down the street (with the dead man's foot apparently on the accelerator). The "evidence" in the opening post also fails to show that the officer then chased after the car and the body cam footage shows everything bobbing up and down. The officer then FELL down when he was chasing after the car. He was not dragged by the car.

All of this will be sorted out in court and a jury will determine if this was a justifiable homicide.

I think the officer might have been poorly trained and/or used poor judgment in reaching his left hand into the car in an attempt to remove the key from the ignition while simultaneously pulling for his gun. How will shooting the man in the head prevent the car from rolling away? This was a traffic stop for a civil violation of the motor vehicle code ... and if the driver truly was attempting to drive away ... then why not just step away? The officer was not a city police officer ... he was a university employee. In most states, he would be overstepping his jurisdiction. The officer could report the incident to the city police and perhaps assist them to get a warrant for the guy's arrest for whatever offense(s) were committed.

Both the law and common sense dictates that officers/university employees, et al., shouldn't use deadly force with so little provocation when non-deadly options are available. After all, the dead man was not a fleeing felon. This situation is exceedingly bad for the university employee (and his family) and especially for the family of the dead man.

Apparently some people here do not a good common sense or education like you. They shoot a doomed and gloomed opinion like a monkey brain with no common sense.
Oh....he was dragged. Shoot him.

All that happened after he shot the driver. Nice try.

Yea, you are sitting in a car with the motor on and your foot on the brake, you get shot in the head and the car lurches forward into a light pole. And they can't see that????

When questioned by the Grand Jury, the other two officers refused to back up the first officer's story about getting dragged.
