I haven't been able to watch the video. I'm from Cincinnati and lived there during the 2001 riots. This cop is getting charged and surely will be put away. I feel terrible for the DuBose family.

It is awful. DH was in the cincy area for the riots before, and we aren't far now. There was another shooting in the town next to me where an unarmed black man was killed in Wal-Mart by a swat team. There has been tension brewing for a long time, protestors have been out frequently and they have been doing "lay ins" at the Wal-Mart and the mall. It is awful and sad, and finally boiling over.
That video was horrific. I don't know WTF the cop was talking about being dragged. And supposedly another cop corroborated it so he needs to he charged as an accessory or something. It's just unbelievable

What the heck?? A freaking SWAT team? For an unarmed man?

quesyrah Someone called 911 and said he was pointing a gun at a kid. He was buying an air rifle and looking at dog food (and not near any kids), they released the surveillance video. They just ran in and shot him. The guy who made the fake call didn't have charges pressed or anything.
