Prosecutors Won’t Charge Two Ohio Officers Who Witnessed Sam Dubose Killing
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On late Friday, the people in Cincinnati started a peaceful rally to honor the memory of Dubose with singing, praying and burning candles. Later, the mass started to march across the city.

On July 19, former campus officer Raymond Tensing allegedly killed Sam Dubose shooting him in the head after the officer stopped him in Cincinnati over a missing license plate. The officer was fired following the grand jury indictment which he refused to recognize.

The first arrest occurred as an individual threatened a business in the historic district of the city, police officer Doug Wiesman told the Cincinnati Enquirer, adding that other arrests followed as people tried to "obstruct justice."

The Dubose family disowned the march after the candlelight vigil, and was confused by the arrests, the newspaper reported.

An ICM poll conducted exclusively for Sputnik revealed that a third of US residents considered police racism to be the primary cause of the high number of African-Americans killed by law enforcement in the country.
