HeadlineNov 07, 2016

A white Cincinnati police officer was wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a Confederate battle flag under his uniform when he shot and killed an unarmed black motorist last year. The revelation came Friday during testimony by a crime scene investigator at the murder trial of former University of Cincinnati officer Ray Tensing, who fatally shot 43-year-old Sam DuBose in July of 2015 after stopping him for not having a front license plate.
