It's not just the campus that they patrol and most traffic tickets are not to students.

 

Agreed, within just a couple of blocks on campus (on foot and in vehicles) that 8.3% makes a huge jump.

Man...I don't know what was running trough the PO's head, maybe he just absolutely panicked in an unfamiliar situation...but gosh he was quick to pull and shoot.

Tensing's records are being investigated. He has written 81% of his tickets this year to blacks.

 

As a whole the UC force wrote 61% of their tickets to blacks.

 

I would think a very high number written to black people would be understandable given the area he patrols. People want so badly for this to fit the race narrative. Instead it was just negligent and panic. Not cold blooded murder and not race driven. Could he have been more susceptible to panic or the reaction due to inherent bias? Maybe. But given the environment police are in right now I think they all have some degree of that going right now. It's a popular theme to disrespect cops and even to threaten them.

I'm a big supporter of POs.

 

The key to me in this situation is that at no time was the PO threatened or in danger.

 

It almost looked like an execution.

Of course, if the comparative of his fellow UC Officers is nowhere near his statistics, I think it DOES say a lot.

33% higher rate than the force as a whole has caught some folks' attention.

Race was no factor in his brain because you say so? Well that settles it... :ohbrother:

I'd like to hear from his Colerain classmates.

Can you explain why his statistics were so much different than the department as a whole?

It was not impacted by race. Nothing to see here...

No. That is not what was said. What was said is that I think people are reaching for this to be race driven to fit the narrative. sorry I'm not surprised that more black people are arrested or pulled over in that area. To me, that would seem to make sense given the population and demographics.

Sure, if I'm able to see every write up for all of them I could probably give you a better idea. But as you know, I can't. but even if there was a valid reason for it, it wouldn't really change anyone's opinion. We could all sit here and twist things to fit what we want it to fit. I'm not going to apologize for not automatically qualifying this as a race driven cold blooded murder. Just as I don't think the Memphis cop killing was race driven. I think that man would have killed any cop in his way.

I just checked their demographics...and wow...UC is 8.3% black, 3.0% Asian, and 2.7% Hispanic. They don't list "caucasian" or "other", but I'd have to assume the remaining 86% of the school's student demographic is caucasian. That does make Tensing's ticket percentages stand out quite a bit.

 

They don't patrol just campus. And I'd imagine that the demographics significantly change within the 3 mile radius outside of campus lines.

You stated it was not race driven as fact. The narrative here is your own...

Again, your narrative is loud and clear...
