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.

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.

Nope I'm not a shooter but I am an avid fan of the show top shot!

We all hope that we can skip the post shooting riots, they don't help anyone.
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.

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