police officer charged with murder in the death of Samuel DuBose
When I indict a murderer, I don’t pull punches. …
And if [the police union officials] don’t like it, they shouldn’t be police officers, and if they don’t want to endorse me again, I couldn’t give a shit. …
This was a flat-out murder, you know? If you don’t see what this is, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement. I think it’s horrible. That could’ve been your kid, my brother. I just think it’s horrendous.”
— Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters who announced murder and manslaughter charges against University of Cincinnati police Officer Ray Tensing for the killing of Samuel DuBose
