It's 12 year old with a toy gun. He didn't threaten anyone.


Yeah c'mon Roger, it is disingenuous to act like a 5'7", 195 lb, 12-yr old is incapable of doing any harm. The gun looks incredibly real. At 12 yrs, 5 months old Rice is in the 97th percentile for both his height and weight - he is the average height of a 15+ yr old child and heavier than most that age.

Now, whether or not that justifies the shooting is not for me to decide, and I believe the threshold for an indictment is there already so this should go to court, but this kid wasn't a legitimate threat given the information the officer had is incorrect.
