Former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing has bonded out of jail.
He posted 10 percent of his $1 million bond, according to the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts website.
Maj. Charmaine McGuffey, of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department, said Tensing left the jail at about 6:45 p.m. He'd been under suicide watch during his time behind bars, she said.
People from all over the country offered to help pay the $1 million bond, Tensing's attorney said Thursday.
Tensing had to make a mandatory $100,000 surety payment – 10 percent of his $1 million bond – to secure his release until trial.
"Ever since the bond was set, I've received calls from around the country from people wanting to contribute to it," attorney Stew Mathews said. "I think people feel like he's getting railroaded here in Cincinnati. You'd have to be blind not to see that.”
Yeah you know I'm not blind, but I certainly don't see any "railroading" here.
What I did see is this glorified mall cop pulling out his weapon when there was no call to do so, and shooting a father of ten right in the head for not having his driver's license on him.
People can watch the video themselves and see if they come up with a different conclusion, but I would be highly suspicious of their motivations if they did.
And let's face it if this cop had shot a white guy in the head, he would most likely still be cooling his heels in a jail cell. But somehow when a white cop shoots a black man, there is a segment of the population that immediately thinks he is going to be treated unfairly by the system and they are determined to help him to be found innocent.
To be fair there is a group on the other side with the exact opposite reaction, but in this case I feel they are the ones who are justified in their fears that this cop will get away with this murder.
So that Cincinnati university cop who shot that black man in the head made bail, and he is receiving donations to his legal fund from around the country. Man is racism lucrative or what?
