    As a growing number of police departments are equipping officers with digital body cameras, the so-called blue wall of silence, the unwritten rule that officers never speak ill of one another to outsiders, is being tested perhaps like never before. The police-involved shooting in Cincinnati – and specifically, the role of two officers who may have lied about what happened to their colleague – is a case in point.

    Ray Tensing, who was a University of Cincinnati police officer until this week, appeared at his first court hearing Thursday after being indicted for murder and voluntary manslaughter in the death of an unarmed motorist on July 19. He pleaded not guilty.

    In the case, Mr. Tensing, who is white, alleges that Samuel DuBose, a black man who had been stopped for a missing front license plate, put his life in danger by starting the car, which began to roll forward. The officer said he feared he was going to get pulled under the car.

    His account is corroborated by testimony from two other officers. In a report written the day after the shooting, they said that Tensing had small injuries that supported his assertion that he was somehow dragged.

    But prosecutors say Tensing’s body camera suggests another scenario. In the video, Mr. DuBose is starting the car and slowly rolling away when Tensing appears to suddenly fire a single shot. Tensing, officials say, fell backward after firing his gun, causing some scuffs on his shirt and pants. DuBose appears nonconfrontational in the video.

    And now, a bunch of ignored posts (that Fuzzy will still read), because he can't handle dissenting views.

    the other two officers who lied were able to escape being indicted. i'm guessing they made a deal to testify against the killer cop in exchange of them being charged. that no snitching policy the cops have is looking weak.

    Yes, he puts everyone who disagrees with him on ignore, like a true coward.

    They should be charged with something to the effect of conspiracy to get away with manslaughter.

    2nd or third degree murder might be hard to convict on, and I doubt there is anything to get a first degree conviction.

    Watching the video, it was clearly murder or manslaughter.

    No need for another account. We are all aware you are reading every "ignored" post. Your replies have tipped that off too many times dip .

    I was trying to get at the esprit de corps of US police that led his fellow cops to lie.

    US Military has an officer class aloof from the rank and file with instructions to both encourage and stay out of the ethic. It's called leadership. Police use their unions as the authority and voice. That is their leadership. the groupthink that is the US police is nationwide and is accountable to nothing but itself.

    checks and balances all that good stuff.

    Yeah...I got the drift. It's a shame the plea bargain was a player here...those two should go down hard....that would put a sizeable dent in the blue wall.

    GJ declined to indict. Their initial statements aren't binding and protected by LEOBOR. Recall, the miranda rights they read us.
