The justice system isn’t very just.
It actually pays to murder black people in America.
Talk about adding insult to injury. Not only did former University of Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing walk away with zero repercussions after shooting and killing an unarmed black man, but apparently, he’ll be paid handsomely for his trouble after receiving a settlement from the university.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Tensing will receive almost $350,000 from the university following the settlement of a grievance the Ohio police union filed on Tensing’s behalf when he was fired after he fatally shot Sam DuBose in July 2015.
In exchange for $244,230 of back pay and benefits and $100,000 in legal fees, Tensing resigned and agreed not to file a lawsuit against the university.
“To even want compensation [after] murdering an innocent man shows how soulless and callous he is,” Reid added. “UC has now reversed any of the rights they attempted to do by Sam. His blood is not only on Tensing’s hands [and] the justice system, it’s now on UC’s hands.”
Civil rights leader Bobby Hilton added that the settlement, which comes after two juries deadlocked on murder charges against Tensing, was like “a nail in the heart.”
Pays to be white.
