(CNN) -- After shooting dead an apparently unarmed man during a traffic stop, a University of Cincinnati police officer said he'd almost been run over and "had to fire his weapon," according to a police incident report released Thursday. In the report, another University of Cincinnati police officer, who said he responded to the scene after hearing screams of "shots fired" over the radio, describes what Officer Ray Tensing told him about the shooting. "Officer Tensing stated that he almost was run over by the driver of the Honda Accord and was forced to shoot the driver with his duty weapon (Sig Sauer P32). Officer Tensing stated that he fired a single shot. Officer Tensing repeated that he was being dragged by the vehicle and had to fire his weapon," Officer Eric Weibel's incident report says. Weibel said the officer complained of pain to his left arm after the stop. "Looking at Officer Tensing's uniform, I could see that the back of his pants and shirt looked as if it had been dragged over a rough surface," the report says.

Easy, the suspect could have hold of a cops tie or arm and won’t let go.

The first time I saw my son in his cop uniform, I said to him, “I taught you better than to wear a tacky clip on tie”, he told me, “it’s mandatory”.
The logic of it struck me immediately.
Cop became p.o.ed because there was no dog to shoot.
Police deserve respect. I still do not understand why people don’t just comply with an officer’s orders. If there is a problem with what the officer did or said, the citizen can file a complaint later.
All of this second-guessing of police is going to make communities less safe.
Maybe the female prison guards just found him "irresistible" and had sex in his cell.
You can almost conceal carry that.
You make the time for the important things. /SARCASM - OFF
My question would be the university cop had said he was dragged. Yet in the news conference they never mentioned it, only stating there was a struggle at the vehicle. According to the report.
Seems a bit odd. Why would they not make that clear?

I’ve had my question answered, the cop was never drug by the vehicle.
