Unstuck White Cop Told White Jury He Was Stuck & Dragged by an Unmoving Car in Murder of Sam Dubose [It Would Be Better If They Had No Eyes. At least there would have been no possibility of misunderstanding.]
From [HERE] The trial of Ray Tensing, a white University of Cincinnati police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in July 2015, resulted in a hung jury on Friday, marking the second time Tensing’s case has ended in a mistrial.
On July 19, 2015, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Samuel DuBose (43), an unarmed Black man, was fatally shot by Ray Tensing (27), a University of Cincinnati police officer, during a traffic stop for a missing front license plate. Tensing fired after DuBose started his car. Tensing stated that DuBose had begun to drive off and that he was being dragged because his arm was caught in the car. Prosecutors alleged that footage from Tensing's bodycam showed that he was not dragged and a grand jury indicted him on charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter. He was then fired from the police department. He was released on bond before trial. A November 2016 trial ended in mistrial after the jury became deadlocked. The retrial began in May 2017 and also ended in a hung jury on June 23, 2017.
In January 2016, following two days of mediation with civil rights attorney Al Gerhardstein, the University of Cincinnati agreed to pay $4.85 million to the DuBose family. In addition to financial compensation, the settlement included free undergraduate education for DuBose's children, the creation of a memorial in his name, an apology from the school's president, and engagement by the family in police reform at the university. It also protected all potential defendants from any future civil litigation in DuBose's death.
Like the previous trial, the jury in the re-trial was mostly white: Nine whites and 3 African Ameircans (9 women and 3 men). [MORE] His previous jury was composed of 10 whites. [MORE]
Car Did Not Move. He Was Not Stuck. But a forensic frame by frame analysis of the the bodycam video [see below] showed that the car did not move or barely moved an inch before Tensing fired his gun. The bodycam video also shows Tensing was not dragged. Also, a report by a risk-consulting firm hired by the university said that the video showed that Mr. Tensing was not being dragged, that the car had barely moved before the gunshot was fired and that Mr. Tensing had made several critical errors — including drawing his gun and reaching into the car.
During the trial Tensing admitted that he was not stuck to anything in the car and that he was not being held in the car by Dubose. He said he misperceived being stuck to the car. He said he realized he was not stuck after he watched the video. [See [full testimony] on video above at 1:45:51]. It also seems improbable that he could perceive being run over because he was on the drivers side of the vehicle - as the car moved forward not sideways.
Tensing's beliefs were actually delusions or misperceptions. He told the jury a story more in accord with the apppetite of the racist listener, not with the realities of life: He was scared to death of a frightening young Black man - and he was by himself.
During the white cop's tearful testimony [crying w/o tears, see video] last Friday at the Hamilton County Courthouse in Cincinnati, Tensing, dressed in a dark suit, said that DuBose was evasive during the traffic stop and attempted to speed away.
"He just mashed the accelerator to the floor," said Tensing, who paused occasionally to wipe his eyes with a tissue [yet there were no tears]. "I protected my life," Tensing said when asked by prosecutors if he had served and protected DuBose. Tensing said repeatedly that he shot to "stop the threat."
Car Did Not Move.
Dr. Blynd explains that Racism white supremacy is a virus in the mind.
Whenever the unreality of race is present racists are in a real deep state of attachment that prevents them from being conscious. When YOU appear they have checked out and checked into some robotic beliefs going on in their minds - programmed to believe all sorts of idiocy about non-whites [dangerous, inferior beasts doing this and that]. Believing in an imagined hierarchy based on their lack of skin color and inability to produce color they imagine themselves to be higher than what they imagine"others" to be. This whole little make believe game is going on in their minds. Anything done in this sleeping state will be stupid. How could it not be?
Tensing's mind must have got carried away when he saw Samual Dubose. All his thoughts clouded with smoke, he could no longer physically see things as they were. His mind blocked it. A mind full of smoke. Here, this stupid mf saw only what his mind allowed him to see. Was he intentionally lying or unconscious? His racist mind deceived him so badly that he believed he was stuck to a car and that he could get runover sideways by a car that was not moving.
During an interaction with a white cop this is what you may be dealing with. A psychopath where race is the variable - so you must be aware. Guides and codes will be of no help to you in the present moment of such a confrontation. In fact, blind belief in memorized formatted rules may get you killed. You must be aware of what your mind is thinking and feeling before you also act unconsciously. "Heaven and hell are not geographical. If you go in search of them you will never find them anywhere. They are within you, they are psychological. The mind is heaven, the mind is hell, and the mind has the capacity to become either." [MORE]
Dr. Blynd explains, "awareness is the fundamental force of change for the Self and the natural result of abandoning illusion." [MORE]
Unfortunately, in a system of white supremacy most white judges, jurors, prosecutors, other white police, elected officials and the white mainstream media will believe almost anything a white cop says. [MORE]
The great rebel, Buddha said: "All beliefs are dangerous. You should not believe, you should see.
Belief is a closing of the mind -- then the aperture is closed, then you don't look." In fact, a man who believes becomes afraid to look. Maybe the truth is against his belief. Then what to do? -- he closes his eyes. It is easier to protect one's belief with closed eyes than with open eyes. Who knows? -- the truth may not coincide with your belief, the truth may shatter your belief, the truth may be against your belief. It may not be Christian, it may not be Hindu, it may not be Mohammedan. Then what will you do? So it is better to remain with closed eyes.
A man with belief becomes afraid: he does not seek and he does not enquire and he does not search. He never explores. He remains stuck with his belief. He holds his belief to his heart; this is out of fear." [MORE]

In Funktionary, Dr. Blynd provides the following for greater understanding into the danger of "belief" and "belief systems."
believer - one who accepts that which has no basis in reality. 2) a person who enjoys being deceived. A believer does not seek—just accepts theologies and/or ideologies. 3) one who is addicted to vanity and/or chained to convention with conviction. 4) one who lives in a cloud of illusions, confounded by language and its deceptions. Believers are people who make their lives subjective slaves to a mere belief—engineered my limited and fragmented understanding and fostered by erroneous conclusions rased solely on effects and appearances. A true believer would rather believe in something and be wrong than not believe in it and be right. A believer is never a spiritual person, and a spiritual person is never a believer. A spiritual person knows not; a religious person think she knows; a believer only (merely) believes. Unbelievably, a believer elevates the very notion of belief to a higher value than fact or knowing. Belief and believer are one. The condition is thought or belief in form; the two are actually one. Regardless of the particular belief held, it is belief itself which gives the sustaining power to thought. "It is done to you as you believe." -Jesus (of Biblical Myth). Keep believing and it will continue being done to you. All belief is still an act of consciousness, hence it can be reduced to a state of thought. The Law of Belief creates its own law which is changed only by reversing or dispersing the belief. "Believe not every spirit": refers to the psychic confusion of believing. You see, subjective forms are not always what they seem or claim to be. (See: Convictions, Absolute Truth, True Believer, Self-Realization, Prayer, Awakening, Meditation, Buddha-Christ, Stillness, Body of Christ, Knowingness & Blind Faith).
belief system - a model or construct (mega-frame) of consensual reality based on the mythologies, grey lies, and oral traditions of (an)others—mixed (superimposed over or grafted onto) one's past experience, coding and acculturation. 2) a set of beliefs whereby one draws conclusions about the nature of reality and treats the resulting perceptions as though they were absolute truth. A belief system is a set of unasked questions conveniently put aside and rent asunder so that we don't have to seek an answer out from reality. Think!! You cannot keep the view by taking the window with you. You can always test the validity of your belief system by your agility or inability to leap out of it (the frame). The various systems of belief throughout the world do nothing to ease mankind's hatreds, prejudices, wars, conflicts and animosities. It is belief that has caused our fissures and divisions. It is my belief pitted against yours, my rights and your wrongs, my god over your god. Belief has created competing ideals, dogmas and rituals. It has created fear and hatred for its opposite. It is responsible for most of our wars and our individual hostilities. A belief system is responsible for the creation of your physical pseudo-reality and the reflection of that pseudo-reality through your sensorial network back to your mentality. A belief system is also responsible for architecting your artificial construct personality. What you have in mind in the form of persona reproduces itself in like-kind in space-time. To solve (or dissolve) any (or many) of our so-called or imagined 'personal,' or the world's problems, we must transcend belief and knowledge into the real(m) of realization—Self-Realization. Things believed through faith are untestable. The logic of a belief system is so circular that it is virtually inescapable once instantiated. Beliefs tend to be transmitted by believers when they make believers (and non-believers alike) believe the things that transmit their beliefs. Inaccurate beliefs prevail if, when and where they facilitate their own means of transmission (memetic self-replication). Holding beliefs (memetic replicators) causes believers to engage in the very activities that perpetuate them and hold them down in humble or haughty ignorance. Beliefs tend to ameliorate imagination's shortcomings and exonerate us as prisoners of our own delusions. We must see the source of our need for belief (accurate, delusional or inaccurate; with or without faith, ergo neither proof or disproof) among (amidst) its distortions and limitations and then boldly go beyond it. A belief system is a sacred surrogate—a simulation of spirituality; assimulation without direct experience. Just how secure are you in your house of cherished illusions? (See: Self-Realization, Awakening, Knowledge Scrolling, Reality, Faith, Clairvoyant, Perception, Faith Paradox & Absolute Truth).
belief systems - linguistically created illusions of structured thought. Belief systems are "my truth is better than your truth" systems carved out of absolute truth (abject falsehood) codified as dogma, spread by fear, enforced by hatred, resulting in continuous warring, genocide, and unimaginable atrocities. Belief systems create formulas and fixed patterns (ruts) for living. They provides us with ready-made reactions (not responses) to whatever situation may arise. Thus we are never phfree to act spontaneously in the fullness of any moment. Life is infinite in its unfolding; it cannot be met with formulas and scripts. Belief is a tether that keeps us forever in the tiny circle of our vanities. Ken Carey has aptly noted, "Belief systems are cages created by words, imprisoning their makers. Even insights that accurately reflect reality cannot be preserved effectively by a belief system." Belief systems are the greatest of our shared vanities. We judge, choose, and reach conclusions, and from these conclusions we create concepts and images. We vest these images with the illusion of reality; we give them life, and they in turn allow us to think that we know—but knowledge is always of the past. It is fixed, lifeless and immovable. No amount or quality of belief system can expand knowledge nor bring any justice. Besides, even knowledge is not reality. It is an image and conceptualization that we create of and about reality—a dead thing. Belief systems suck you in but can't get you off. Why are you living your life based on the unquestioned chain of hearsay? Our beloved BS (belief systems) are elaborate mirage-like constructions of vibrations through and to which we chain ourselves: ideas, ideologies, representations, events, and information deemed important and considered as foundational if not real. However, all that we are is an elaborate thoughtform appearing (temporarily congealed as light) within a world of ceaseless change that itself is a thoughtform that we (as human beams) choose to experience as physical and governed by the physical laws through which impersonal Consciousness creatively expresses (self-animates) in the world through undulating patterns of repetitive existential Self-relation. "The pathway to Enlightenment via radical truth is demanding and requires the surrendering of all belief systems. Only then does ultimate reality reveal itself..." -David R. Hawkins.
