re: Tamir Rice's (Dead KID!)Family Believe No Charges Coming for Two Officers

Except he was not threatening anyone with it.

You idiot. He was pointing the gun at people according to the 911 call. NOT BRANDISHING like you fools want it to sound like. The 911 caller stated he was POINTING THE GUN NOT BRANDISHING. Get over it. The kid fricked up like everyone else.

Those pictures do not show people. Also if it was a good shoot, why would the cops lie their asses off in their initial report?
From page 6.

he video revealed that the police lied about almost every aspect of the shooting. Rice was not seated with other people. The video shows he was alone. In fact, he wasn’t seated at all. The video shows he was standing with the police officers pulled up. Rice did not grab the gun and put it in his waistband. The video does not show the gun on the table or in Rice’s hands in the moments before the police car pulls up. The officers did not get out of the car and tell Rice three times to put his hands up. The video shows Loehmann shot Rice within two-seconds of the officers’ arrival. Loehmann opened fire immediately after exiting thw vehicle. Rice did not reach into his waistband and pull out the toy gun. The video shows Rice used both hands to lift up his shirt and exposed the gun before Loehmann opened fire. Police never saw Rice brandish point the gun at them, and never saw whether it had a neon orange tip. The video does not show Rice removing the gun from his waistband at all before he Loehmann fired his weapon.

So your rebuttal is about the police lying in their report. No one disputes this. However, the term brandishing and pointing have two different meanings. The 911 caller did not use the term brandishing but in fact pointing at people.

In a 9-1-1 call, a caller, who was sitting in a nearby gazebo, reported that someone, possibly a juvenile, was pointing "a pistol" at random people in the Cudell Recreation Center.

This story should be used to denounce and put down the community and generation of thugs that glorify and promote this behavior leading to incidents like this.

Instead it will be used to promote rioting and looting and general thuggery.

It is baffling how you can defend the kid even after the pictures. Of course he was not pointing it at anyone. You will give the kid every excuse. And since you believe if it was a civilian they would be in jail you want to make a bet? If I can.give you 3 instances where a person was killed with a fake gun by a civilian and not charged will you ban yourself and not create an alter? I know for a fact I can. It might not be a kid but it happens more than you think and the civilian is walking free.

Thank you for posting (dead kid!) in your title, so I knew that you were trying to illicit an emotional response as opposed to a logical one.

It is baffling that people will spend all their time and energy and emotions defending the kid or criticizing the police.

This should be an indictment on the entire culture of ignorance and violence running rampant through these communities. It should be a call to action to parents and the educators to teach children that thug bullshite is no way to live your life and certainly nothing to aspire to. Instead, you defend this kid and his actions and you set up another kid who doesn't know better or who has been directly taught the opposite to end up shot again. Nothing changes because rather than see the situation as fricked up on both sides and use it as an opportunity to learn and grow we are so sick as a country that we put every action of the situation under a microscope and never reach the real issue it should bring up in all of us.

The caller also said the gun is most probably fake. On a call for a kid pointing a gun that is "most probably fake", you don't roll up guns a blazin when there is no gun out.

---

This is where you failed in your attempt. The cops were not told by the dispatch that the caller stated that the gun was probably fake. Read the facts. Not justifying how quickly the cops fired shots at the kid. I think if the 911 dispatcher had given all the proper information the kid might still be alive today.
