but how has cincinnati reacted to the death of samuel dubose?our intro last night. we had some -- a peaceful protest ended with several arrests but i must say i'm very proud of my city in the way they have responded to this shooting and leading that charge i think is the dubose family which has been so graceful encouraging peaceful protests. it's a reminder of the same situation that happened in south carolina with the tragedy there where the community said hey, we forgive you. the duebose family is aligned much in that spirit. they have really kind of led the charge of encouraging -- letting the justice system play out, helping everyone understand that this is their son, their husband, their father and she was a good man so that has been a wonderful response in cincinnati. there has been no una rest as we've had -- and this is not the first time a situation like this has happened. of course this with the university police department but, of course, in 2001 we did have unrest after a police shooting and we've learned a lot from this. the communi

the attorney for samuel dubose's family mark o'mara also cnn legal analyst. nice to see you.egedly occurring back in 2014 over a loose bumper. >> the concern with this video and certainly the concern with sam's death in that video is that tensing opportunity seem to have very much understanding of how to deescalate a situation, how to respect the people that he is interacting with. it seems as though he's bringing his ego into every situation. we only have two. but the two that we have seem to suggest that he's being a bit aggressive. >> meanwhile, tensing, as you know is out on bond and the police union is working to get him his job back. what do you make of that? >> i'm hopeful that that is some technicality to maintain some contractual right that he has. if he is daring to tell cincinnati never mind sam's family. if he's daring to tell anyone that he actually expects to be a police officer ever again, then his hubris and ignorance is beyond belief. >> two officers who witnessed the stop are not being charged. a grand jury declined to indict them. but there is at least one

mark o'meara, who represents samuel dubose's family.is tape one more time in slow motion. you tell me what you are seeing. there's the scuffle. it all happened so quickly. and now it's done. is it possible mark that the police officer says take your seat belt off and when the man reaches for the seat belt the officer mistakes that for him reaching for a gun? >> is it possible? certainly. we don't know what is in tensing' mind at that precise moment. and that is certainly relevant. but on the other hand we have to look at this a little bit more globally. tensing is the one who's supposed to be trained to de-escalate the situation. tensing could have done something as simple as whose car is it? rather than the suggestion that it came back to a female. he could have run his license when he asked him to. he could have done anything except to make the maneuver to try and get sam out of the car without good justification. and when sam turned on the car keys that's when he intended to do he may well have intended to leave, but at that precise

led to the indictment of university of cincinnati police officer ray tensing for the death of samuel duboseek. tensing claimed he was dragged by dubose's car but the video seemed to tell another story. it's why the call for more police officers to be equipped with body cameras is getting louder but the problem with videos from charleston to cincinnati are not going to be solved just by cameras. is there a problem with the way we recruit and train police officers in this country? joining me is commissioner charles ramsey of the philadelphia police department co-chair of president obama's task force on police commissioning. welcome back to "meet the press." >> good morning. >> it seems as if there's consensus. we have to have body cameras on all police officers period. is that your view, commissioner? >> yeah i'm a proponent of body cameras. i think it's very important that we equip our officers with modern technology, body cameras certainly fits into that category. one thing i would like to add to that is that the expense associated with body cameras really needs to be taken into account as

it spawned us all knowing the names eric garner, tamir rice, freddie gray, walter scott, samuel dubose them. so in essence, i hate to even ask this question because if i'm michael brown's parents i don't want to hear it this way, but did michael brown die in vain? >> no, i don't think michael brown died in vain. this is a young man who in his short time on this earth his impact is still being felt a year later after his death. what happened to mike brown that day resonated with so many people because it was another case of an unarmed young man being killed when we think there could have been deescalation tactics, it could have been another way to handle that i th incident that didn't result in anybody being hurt. so i think one of the things that's happened in the last year is to spark the conversation about how we police in this country. and that think that's an important first step. i think enough progress hasn't been made yet in the last year abry pairing some of the things we've identified with how we place the country but we've had important steps and being able to get these issue

anyone who has seen the tapes of sandra bland or samuel dubose understands that it is unacceptable thatafrican-americans can get taken out of their cars, thrown to the ground, assaulted, and thrown into jail and die three days later. that is not what this country is supposed to be about. [applause] so you are looking at a candidate who, if elected president, will do everything that he can to end racism and institutional racism in this country and bring about major criminal justice reform. [applause] i was a mayor for eight years, and i worked with our police department and the truth is, most cops are good. very difficult job, they do the right thing. it's a very hard job. but when a police officer or any other public official breaks the law, that officer must be held accountable. [applause] today in america, we have more people in jail than any other country on earth, including china. we have a disproportionate number of people in jail who are black or hispanic. so we have a lot of work to do. number one, i will end this absurdity of having private corporations making billions out of ja

that outrage over cecil comes the same week that relatives of samuel dubose buried their beloved after distress of cecil's fate came the same month that sandra bland was added. capturing this concern, feminist author roxine gay wrote for the "new york times" on friday when people die in police custody or are killed by the police there are always those who wonder what the fallen did to deserve what befell them. he shouldn't have been walking down that street she should have been more polite with that police officer he shouldn't have been playing with that toy gun in the park. we don't consider asking such questions of a lion. we don't speculate why cecil was roaming the savannah. she says human beings are majestic creatures, too. may we learn to see this majesty in all of us. it's tempting to compare the suffering death of animals and the suffering death of black people as though they are in competition with one another and gain some zero ground for public attention. the degradation of non-human animal life and the suffering of violence against animals is deeply intertwined in the histo
