June 21, 20179 yr He will walk, Deters screwed this one up trying to get him with murder. Tensing was wreckless and now a,man is dead unfortunately.
June 21, 20179 yr I dont know why he shot him but it didn't look to me like he needed to. He panicked and overreacted.
June 21, 20179 yr So if he walks, will there be riots in Cincy? There will be a lot of frustration and anger. I hope cooler heads prevail.

June 22, 20179 yr I think he was young and used poor judgement. I don't think he set out to kill him on purpose. Not to say he should not be held accountable. An officer with a gun should always be accountable.
June 22, 20179 yr So if he walks, will there be riots in Cincy? That seems to just be the norm for these kinds of things anymore, but why because they allow it.
June 22, 20179 yr Author There will be a lot of frustration and anger. I hope cooler heads prevail. Agreed! The Timmy Thomas riots were the best thing that ever happened to the Levy. They were really struggling until the riots ruined the Main street bar district. Remember Have a Nice Day cafe and the bars in that area? Folks actually tried the Levy and realized they could make it across the bridge into Newport. Cars with Ohio tags were stacked up coming off the exit into Newport. I'd hate to see the progress that has been made in Cincy take a step backwards.
June 22, 20179 yr There are hardly any people protesting this trial as it is. I could see, like last time, a peaceful march downtown but there will not be rioting or reasons to fear protest, IMO. Cincinnati and the black community have come a long way since the Timothy Thomas riots and they continue to work and update their collaborative agreement put in place after those riots.
June 23, 20179 yr That seems to just be the norm for these kinds of things anymore, but why because they allow it. Who are they and how do they allow it? What should be done differently?
June 23, 20179 yr I think we're looking at another hung. Personally, I think the jury wanted an involuntary option.
June 23, 20179 yr That seems to just be the norm for these kinds of things anymore, but why because they allow it. Police are out numbered 5-1, sometimes 10-1 by citizens. If people are gonna get upset and take it to the streets, there is little anyone can do.
June 23, 20179 yr Author I think we're looking at another hung. Personally, I think the jury wanted an involuntary option. I see involuntary as the only way he could get convicted by 12. Deters messed up the case from the get go, by the way he made the big statement the day it happened. Thought he was doing the right thing by pounding his chest and siding with the local community but now it will probably mean Tensing walks.

Jury knows he's guilty of something but doesn't like the defined charges.
