(Reuters) - The former chief of the University of Cincinnati police force encouraged aggressive use of traffic stops to look for guns and drugs, according to a report by a consultant reviewing the department after a white officer shot and killed an unarmed black man during a traffic stop last year.
Former University of Cincinnati Police Chief Jason Goodrich, who resigned in February amid an internal review, pushed the department's officers to make more traffic stops, according to the report by consulting firm Exiger released this week.
. . .
The officers' resignations came during the review of an off-campus traffic stop last July 19 during which former officer Raymond Tensing shot and killed Samuel DuBose.
Tensing claimed he was being dragged by DuBose's car during an attempted escape but Tensings body camera footage as well as an investigation concluded the car was barely moving, if at all, when Tensing fired.
