1. NY Daily News article...

2. I'm watching the prosecutor's press conference on MSNBC...

....I never saw a prosecutor so disgusted and outraged and outspoken as this guy. It's unbelievable and, despite the situation, very refreshing.

17. Actually I think the opposite

Such inflammatory statements are going to make it difficult to seat a jury. It may even force the prosecutor to not be involved in the case. Everyone deserves the right to a fair trial.

As for the police witnesses who lied, they should be fired and prosecuted as well.

23. Change of venue could be possible. nt

3. University of Cincinnati Closes Uptown, Medical Campuses Ahead Of News Conference

The University of Cincinnati's Uptown and Medical campus offices closed at 11 a.m., the school said. The closure does not include the Blue Ash and Clermont campuses or UC Medical Center.

"This decision is made with an abundance of caution in anticipation of today’s announcement of the Hamilton County grand jury’s decision regarding the July 19 officer-involved shooting of Samuel Dubose and the release of the officer’s body camera video. We realize this is a challenging time for our university community," the school said in an email.

Several Ohio State Highway Patrol vehicles arrived on campus shortly before it closed, and UC police officers barricaded some streets leading into campus.

Several restaurants near campus closed as well.

4. Great, but will they really pursue a conviction?

I'd hope so, but truly doubt it.

[B Calm]

5. Prosecutor has ordered his arrest for murder!

[tblue37]

7. When the prosecutor blasts the cop like this--yeah, I think they might this time. Hope so. nt

[George II]

12. That's what an indictment does - and a warrant has been issued for his arrest for murder.

[crim son]

6. This will never stop unless every

perp is charged, prosecuted and punished in the most severe manner legally permissible.

8. Dashcam and bodycam footage from shooting of Sam Dubose

[blackspade]

15. It's not clear what happened from the body cam.

Did the man in the car take off after he was shot?

[George II]

18. I think he may not have been in "park" so his foot went off the brake and the car took off....

....and hit that tree.

[blackspade]

19. Gotcha.

Where is the rest of the dash cam footage I wonder?

[drm604]

22. It does seem like kind of a jumble.

Maybe they can slow it down and examine it frame by frame to sort it out. Maybe they've already done that.

27. Thanks for posting the YouTube vid of this, Purveyor! n/t

9. College and university police are usually not the pick of the litter.

Real police tend to not have much respect for them.

[George II]

13. But apparently, one "real" officer was willing to lie for this play cop...

...what are university police doing with guns OFF CAMPUS?

[Indydem]

20. University Police are real cops.

Regardless of what you believe, they are not security guards.

They have to go through the same training via state agencies as local police and sherriffs.

[damnedifIknow]

10. Tensing has turned himself in

[Comrade Grumpy]

11. That was fast. I hope times may be changing.

Cops and prosecutors are starting to figure out that they don't have a completely blank check anymore.

We need to keep the pressure on.

[blackspade]

14. Good, but will he serve time?

Not likely.

[rdking647]

16. i dont think he will ever be released

[brush]

21. I think this ex-cop is going to jail

This is one dumb cop. He had his body cam on and still tried to lie his way out of shooting the guy's face off.

I believe after being shot the dead man's foot came off the brakes.

Many cops haven't caught on yet that there are camera's everywhere now and they can't get away with the murders of POC as easily as in the past.

[Dont call me Shirley]

24. Now time for a real conviction and sentence.

[Blue State Bandit]

25. Does Dubose have PA tags? Because the cop is wrong on this.

Dubose says at about 1:17 "..but it's not illegal to have no front license in Pennsylvania" and the officer, wrongly, "Yes it is". If that was his "justification" for the stop, then he had no probable cause for the stop in the first place.

[Warpy]

26. Even fellow cops are saying it was a chickenshit stop

and DuBose should never have been pulled over for not having a front plate.

[Kablooie]

28. Wow. Now we are hearing about these murders ...

but how many have there been in years past that were never in the news?

Makes me heartsick to think of it.

[Omaha Steve]

29. Locking

After a review by the forum hosts it had been decided to lock this post. It was not updated to keep up with the news.

Thanks for understanding.
