Cop Indicted For Murder

Video breakdown

Less than three seconds are critical to both sides in the murder case against Ray Tensing. After Tensing tried to open Sam DuBose's car door and DuBose pulled it shut, DuBose restarted the car. Tensing said he reached in "to knock the key out and turn the key off." The numbers below are in seconds before Tensing shot DuBose.

2.266: Tensing's hand moves into the car

2.038: Tensing's hand reaching in front of steering wheel

1.744: Reflection of Tensing's legs on car door, standing away from vehicle

1.581: Car has still not moved

1.255: Tensing's left hand moving toward DuBose's seat belt and chest

1.222: Barrel of Tensing's gun enters view

0.928: Tensing yells "stop"

0.816: Gun coming up, Tensing's left hand at DuBose's chest

0.504: Tensing's left hand in contact with seat belt, DuBose left hand in air, right hand on steering wheel

0.276: Tensing's gun toward DuBose's head; Tensing's left hand grasping seat belt

0.178: Possible slight movement forward by DuBose's car

0.113: DuBose's left hand moving downward and away from the gun

0.015: Forward motion of the car

0.000: Audio indicates the fatal shot is fired

Note that the engine will rev before the car actually moves. Your hand in pinned in a car that is attempting to drive off, serious threat.

What's fps on that video? Surely not nearly enough to justify 1ms resolution and 4 sig figs.

As to the case, it is obvious that Tensing was overcharged. If Deters decides to retry the case, I hope he takes murder off the table and includes negligent homicide.

I could go for involuntary manslaughter. He screwed up badly in reaching into the car and created the threat that he then responded to with his gun.

He voluntarily reached into the car, and all of the evidence indicates that his hand was not pinned in the car. All he had to do was step away. As Don2 mentioned even his own lawyer didn't make that claim because all of the evidence points to it not being true. Putting oneself and keeping oneself in a potentially dangerous situation, and refusing to exercise options other that deadly force is not a sufficient claim that deadly force was the only option. His 'pinned' left arm sure had a lot of mobility in getting out of the gun target line, is grasping the seatbelt while shooting, and seems to have no trouble getting out of the car immediately after the shooting.

The problem is that if he simply stepped back he couldn't play the part of Klondike Kat.

Something seems awfully biased by that interpretation. 0.015 seconds prior to the shot, the car wasn't in motion and no shots had been fired. What if the cop had jumped in front of the stationary vehicle and only fired after forward movement? Would the logic be that he created the threat by positioning his body in front of the vehicle? Could it be the reason he was shot was because of what happened 0.015 seconds before the shot?
 
No. Damn it. The driver was black. It's his fault. Just like Obama is black so the economy was bad and it was his fault while when the idiot Trump won the election suddenly the economy is on jatos because he's wh... even though his program, if implemented, will drive us to depression.

Finally a president how is actually being hoovered by his whatever they are.
