Watch: Shocking footage shows moment US cop shoots dead black man for traffic violation
A white Ohio police officer who shot a black man during a routine traffic stop was charged with murder on Wednesday in what prosecutors called a "senseless" act motivated by anger. The case comes as the United States grapples with heightened racial tensions in the wake of a series of high-profile incidents of unarmed African Americans being killed by police in disputed circumstances. The officer's body camera footage showed officer Ray Tensing was never in danger during the July 19 incident - he just fatally shot a man after pulling him over for not having a front license plate.
