The white University of Cincinnati police officer who shot unarmed black man Samuel Dubose during a traffic stop has been indicted on a murder charge, a prosecutor announced Wednesday, saying the cop “purposely” killed the motorist and “should never have been a police officer.”

In announcing the charge against officer Ray Tensing, Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters lambasted the cop over the July 19 death of Dubose, 43, saying the fatal shooting was “the most asinine act I’ve ever seen a police officer make.”

University and city officials said Wednesday afternoon that Tensing was immediately terminated and turned himself in. He is set to be arraigned in court Thursday morning.
