The dead man, who was shot in the head, was Samuel Dubose, a 43-year-old father of 13 children, according to CNN affiliate WKRC-TV. A CNN records search showed that Dubose had more than 60 arrests.

Um hum.

Authorities identified the officer as Ray Tensing, who has five years' experience in law enforcement and who has worked for the University of Cincinnati Police Department for more than a year. He is white.

Thanks for clearing that up, CNN. I never guessed by the fact this story was reported at all.

Tensing asked several times to see Dubose's driver's license, Cincinnati police said. Instead, police said, Dubose handed the officer a bottle of alcohol. According to police, Tensing asked Dubose to step out of the car, at which point a struggle ensued.

Racist pig.

Tensing was wearing a body camera, police said. They also said they have received surveillance video from nearby buildings but have yet to view it.

Ok, so let's wait to see the video before we make any assumptions about what occurred. The purpose of those body camera's is to protect citizens and police.

was he?

"There was a struggle at the door with Mr. Dubose in the vehicle and the officer outside the vehicle, and the vehicle sped away," Cincinnati police Lt. Col. James Whalen told reporters.

I'll wait on the camera footage before making assumptions about how and why he was shot.

Unbiased Summary: Police officer pulls over a man who is intoxicated was missing his front plates, the man proceeds to ignore the officer and gets out of the car and wrestles him for a bit before getting back into the car and taking off. The officer then fires one shot hitting the man directly in the head.

EDIT: Corrected my assumption.

Did it say he was intoxicated? It said he handed the officer a bottle of alcohol. Not a big leap, but in the interest of being "unbiased"... He was pulled for no front plate not suspected drunk driving.

Wait he shot him in the head? Aren't cops supposed to aim for the center of mass (chest) not pull of headshots like this is call of duty?

Yes they are trained to shoot for center mass. I have a feeling you don't shoot much, but unless you take time to line up your shot then all it takes is a slight tilt of your wrist to change where the bullet hits. Since there was an altercation his adrenaline would have been pumping and it usually comes down to instinct and muscle memory at that point. I doubt he was even consciously thinking at that point. Just acting on impulse from a fight-or-flight response.

I'm pretty fresh into shooting, I could see this happening. Those things get kinda squirelly on you sometimes.

Media fanning the flames again. I'm waiting for someone to file a lawsuit against a media outlet for this type of thing. I have no idea what it would take since the edited Zimmerman tape didn't seem to result in a lawsuit but it needs to happen. Inserting extra information just isn't necessary at this point. They know what will happen and they can't fucking wait for it.
