Ray Tensing 2014 Traffic Stop with Multiple Rights Violations

The old trolling for warrants trick. Get an ID from everyone, run them all. Happens all the time, and it's bullshit.
Be careful when you assert your rights, because they have all the power. They can shoot you and it will be your fault.
They are recording, which is smart. They could have been a little more civil, but they were calling the cops on their bullshit, so a little emotion is acceptable.
No one died, so that's good.

Is it just me or does Tensing look incredibly nervous and insecure once the supervisor shows up? Like almost ready to poo poo himself. A guy with insecurity issues plus a gun.... Yikes.

because regardless of guilt or innocence or the work that someone has done, 90% of workers in the world tense up when their supervisor show up.

Lawyer of the family of the teen killed in South Carolina contradicts the police report. That the teen was shot in the back dispels the notion that he was driving at the officer. That the shots were so close together brings up the question of whether the car was even in motion.

Ray Tensing is such a piece of poo poo. What is up with American cops power tripping on minor traffic stops? I mean come the gently caress on all that for a loving bumper? Just tell them to get it fixed and move the gently caress on.

And when I mash down on your little starter, then your spark plug will give me fire.
Somebody on reddit made an image stabilized version of the Tensing video. It definitely helps clear up what's going on for anybody who was still having trouble seeing it. It shows both the shooting itself more clearly, and it shows Tensing's police cruiser, directly behind Dubose's car, at the periphery of a few frames as he's shoving his gun in the window. It's clear that Dubose's car didn't start hauling rear end until immediately after the shot. Once he's shot, it practically leaps forward and it does look like it might have yanked Tensing around, but again, only after the shot. The only moment where Tensing is ever in any real danger of being run over, it's as a direct result of his own actions.

Clearly, someone describing that as "dragging the officer before the shot" wasn't lying! :rolleyes: Just because the police report followed Tensing's side of the story doesn't mean anyone didn't really believe!

That gif of that dude with his hands raised for 5 seconds looking perplexed as the dog outta nowhere jumps in from the left and bites his face is so :catstare:

Not that people being slammed face first 'escorted' into the ground are any less brutal.

Also gently caress, that dude walking and just getting loving ran the gently caress over by the cop car from behind. All my WTF.

The dude had a gun, and had fired it in the air seconds earlier, as the cops watched, which is basically an invitation for the cops to murder the hell out of you (they'll murder you for way less serious stuff, as we know, so it's not surprising here). But it still seems hosed up and extreme to run him (and a wall) over, especially when other cops were already there and following him when that one cop car sped onto the scene and decided to do some carmageddon roleplaying. Makes me think the guy driving was some kind of Officer Farva type retard. "DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE????" :byodood:

There was a really funny post in the GIP cop thread a while back about posters insulting cops through the forums and being too scared to say anything in person and it sums it all up really.

I'm really happy to live in a country where the police don't carry guns and the most corrupt they get is just selling evidence

Oh yeah, I left that part out. IT was a heritage not hate rally at the founding site of the KKK. Also the KKK showed up but were apparently not welcomed, which is weird since people were holding a rally for their flag at their birthplace.

That's because you're not a police officer. Police are the only profession in America that's legally covered for when they respond to disrespect or mild pain with extremes of violence. You'd never hear the end of it if a doctor who was errantly slapped by a drunk in the emergency room suddenly knocked out one of his teeth with an ophthalmoscope and then claimed in the incident report that "the patient's head struck my instrument during his thrashing."

Black perp: ".........." becuase he was dead before the officer could even assess the situation.

Never trust a cop. At this point you're probably better off assuming everything a cop says in a report to be a lie until proven otherwise. In fact I would also say the same thing for prosecutors/DA's that work hand in hand with the cops to perpetuate this abuse. They enable cops to do this poo poo with impunity. As proven by the postings of ActusRhesus in this thread.
