University of Cincinnati is canceling classes ahead of a press conference on the deadly shooting involving a UC police officer.
Campus officials said all classes on the Uptown and Medical campuses will be canceled at 11 a.m., including all classes in session at that time.

the Police Chief described the video as "bad".
Looks like it is going to be a hot night in Over-The-Rhine tonight.
When did it become acceptable for riots to occur after every jury verdict? This is ridiculous.
Free stuff!
Ah good...the Red’s are in St Louis...oops..maybe the Fergie crown will come out in support.

You can set a stopwatch by this: they are EXPECTING riots already...
The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
All of urban America will burn before this is over. Because urban America has been given over to black wilding, gang punks, and Democrat politicians. And now, Obama wants all of that in the suburbs, too. Lock and load, Ohioans!
Tensing wasn’t dragged, as earlier police reports had indicated, according to Deters. The car started rolling forward slowly, and after a “very short period of time” Tensing had drawn his gun and shot DuBose. Deters said Tensing fell backward after he shot DuBose in the head.
This is the most asinine act Ive ever seen a police officer make, Deters said. It was unwarranted. Its an absolute tragedy that, in the year 2015, anyone would behave in this manner.”
Deters said Tensing overreacted during “a pretty chicken-crap stop.”
This will simply plant the seeds to getting a new law-and-order person into the WH in 2016. 1968 repeating itself.
The main approach is guarded by high rise parking garages in Stalinesque style. Take a wrong turn when exiting and you are in very, very bad neighborhoods. I think those parking garages on the approaches to campus were designed with this type of defense in mind.
Just heard, the PO has been indicted.
So if there is a riot, it is completely unjustified. The system is working.
They have had them before; most notably in the Avondale neighborhood in 1967, and more recently in Over-The-Rhine in 2001, which was followed here at FR pretty much in real time.
Just watched that video and I am left speechless...
It was ridiculous from the start last November when they were allowed to disrupt traffic and block entrances to busy public venues.
The mob has spoken. The mob has won.
Room to destroy no doubt. The go ahead.
Black lies matter.
Look, ma! No riots.
How can you look at that video and say that this was a justified killing and the officer was wrongly indicted?
First off, I was not the one who stated that; that was the original posting by FReeper Organic Panic in post #17, to which I was responding, which is why I italicized it.
Second, I do happen to agree with him that the mob has spoken and that the mob has won- no matter whether the shooting was justified or not, it is the cry of the mob that has caused that cop to face legal action, not the usual legal process, which would have been a grand jury indictment. But the mob has cried for his blood, and wants it whether the cop is found guilty by judge or jury, or not. That is what makes them a mob.
Besides, I was in Memphis, back when [March 9, 1999] Millington TN PD officer Peter Nichelson was tried and convicted for shooting 17-year-old Black youth, Rodie Gossett, driving a car that did not belong to him with the trunk lock punched out, running a stop sign, and then leading police on a car chase. At some point in the chase, the car Gossett was driving collided with two police squad cars. However, Gossett and Reginald Miller, a passenger in the car with Gossett, were eventually cornered at a Memphis gas station by several Millington police officers and Shelby County sheriff's deputies, with at least one holding a shotgun on Gossett. The situation was completely under control and both Gossett and Miller were unarmed and had their hands up in the air when Nichelson walked up to Gossett and shot him in the back of the head.
Thing was, Millington had just recently switched over to Glock autopistols after years of using revolvers. Nichelson admitted shooting Gossett but said that the shooting was accidental, claiming the gun discharged when it accidentally hit Gossett's shoulder as Nichelson was trying to restrain/cover him and remove him from the vehicle.
Second degree murder? No. If Nichelson had been convicted of second degree murder, he could have faced 15 to 25 years imprisonment. However, jurors decided instead for a lesser included offense conviction for criminally negligent homicide, finding his actions reckless, but not intentional. And for which the penalty was 1 to 2 years imprisonment. I left the area [was in effect the Memphis/Little Rock/Nashville bureau chief for World Net Daily at the time] before the appeals had run out; I don't know how much of a hit Nichelson eventually took.
The 15 million dollar lawsuit by Gossett's family against the city of Millington, the Millington Police Department, the Millington police chief, Nichelson, and Millington's mayor for violating Gossett's civil rights had nothing to do with it, of course....
Hey, maybe they'll demand to bring back the guillotine for white folks who kill blacks! Or necklacing with burning car tires....
