During a press conference Wednesday, county prosecutor, Joseph T. Deters, said that Officer Tensing “purposely killed” Mr. DuBose, adding “He should never have been a police officer.”
Sam DuBose, the 43 year-old father of 10, shot and killed by the officer was driving his 1998, Honda Accord, which was missing his front license plate. In the video you can see the officer, walk up to the car and repeatedly asked for DuBose license but he doesn’t have it. Watching the chilling footage you can see The officer quickly losing his tempter. He said, “OK, well, until I can figure out if you have a license or not, go ahead and take your seat belt off.” He pulled the door handle and opens the door. DuBose pulls it closed and reaches for the ignition, saying “I didn’t do nothing, man.” He turns the key and as the engine revs up the officer pulls out the gun and shouts “Stop! Stop!” shooting DuBose in the head.
The county prosecutor said, I’ve been doing this for 30 years, this is the most asinine act I’ve ever seen a police officer make, totally unwarranted,” adding, “It’s an absolute tragedy in the year 2015 that anyone would behave in this manner. It was senseless.”
If convicted, the officer could go to prison for life. He has been fired and will be arraigned on Thursday.
The video is extremely chilling and disturbing. Sound off your feelings in the comments.
