Al Gerhardstein, one of the leaders involved in the efforts, was recently criticized by FOP President Dan Hils for filing a complaint against a Cincinnati investigator over her testimony in the trial of former University of Cincinnati officer Ray Tensing, who shot DuBose during a traffic stop.

The union also passed a motion of no confidence in Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters in response to what they call his office's "attack" on the investigator and the department's homicide division.

“Despite the FOP vote, I remain committed to doing the best job I can do as the Hamilton County Prosecutor and I have full confidence in the Cincinnati Police Department," Deters said in response to the vote.

During Tensing's second trial, Sgt. Shannon Heine, who investigated the shooting, testified Tensing's shooting of unarmed motorist DuBose "may be determined to be justified."

The prosecutor said Heine's statement impacted his team's case, and Gerhardstein, who represents the DuBose family, filed a complaint with Cincinnati's Citizen Complaint Authority on behalf of the United Black Front about Heine's testimony.

An internal investigation concluded that Heine committed no wrongdoing in her testimony, Chief Eliot Isaac said.
