The FOIA requests and the lawsuit seek public release of all video related to the July 19 shooting of 43-year-old Samuel Dubose. They held signs with slogans including “Justice for Samuel Dubose” and repeatedly chanted for Deters to “release that tape”.

The prosecutor has refused to release body-camera footage until his investigation is completed. “We will be monitoring these changes on a continuing basis to make adjustments as warranted”, Ono said.

Deters is refusing to release the video footage, because he says it would compromise his investigation and “taint” the grand jury process.

“The law supports our position to not release the video”.

Tensing has been placed on administrative leave with pay, university police said.
