Considering I wasn't there, I can't tell you the - what ifs. I tend to not try playing armchair tactical.

Everything is circumstantial.

Mr.Poo...done and done. Another progressive out of my life and more nonsense I won't need to answer and argue about. This is really quite freeing.

I would expect the typical Conservative to tuck tail and run when confronted..

In stark contrast to this officers outcome.

he really can't handle anyone questioning his blind devotion to a messed up system...he won't last long... once people start blocking members they are on their way out.

I saw another video on the news today and I heard the recording of the dispatcher. She didn't tell the cops it may be fake like the caller in did. I highly doubt this would have happened if she did her job right

a fake gun is for all practical purposes a real gun. the dispatcher does not need to include that speculation. one can be charged with armed robbery with a fake gun, in the USA. one can be intimidated and scared shitless with a fake gun. fake/real/maybe/maybe not= moot points

yes, you can pull off an armed robbery with a fake gun.....but are you a danger to those around you?? No..

maybe if the cop had known he wouldn't have gone in like john wayne....though i doubt things would've been different....

they should take their guns away and force these idiots to think once in a while

When I first read about this story, I pictured a kid on a playground, sitting in a swing with a toy gun in his hand. It incensed me that the police took 2 seconds to kill him.

However, after viewing the video, watching him pacing and pointing the gun at people, I realized the kid was a thug in the making.

Did he deserve to be shot? If the officers felt that this kid was a threat to their lives and others in the area, they did the right thing.

The boy, identified by the Cuyahoga county medical examiner as Tamir Rice, died from his wounds on Sunday, a day after officers responded to a 911 call about someone waving a “probably fake” gun at a playground.

Deputy chief Ed Tomba said one officer fired twice after the boy pulled the fake weapon, which was lacking the orange safety indicator usually found on the muzzle, from his waistband but had not pointed it at police. The boy did not make any verbal threats but grabbed the replica handgun after being told to raise his hands, Tomba said. “That’s when the officer fired,” he said.

Police described the weapon as an “airsoft” type replica that resembled a semi-automatic handgun. The safety indicator had been removed, police said.

The two officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure. The Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper reported that the officers were a first-year rookie and a 10-year department veteran.

The police department had collected surveillance video and other evidence and would present it to the county prosecutor’s office, the newspaper said without citing a source. It said after reviewing the evidence prosecutors would present the case to a grand jury, which would decide whether the officer was justified in using force against the boy.

An attorney for the boy’s family, Timothy Kucharski, said Tamir went to the park with friends on Saturday afternoon, but he did not know the details of what led to his shooting. “I don’t want to make a rush to judgment,” he said.

Kucharski said he wanted to talk to witnesses to get more facts. “We’re ultimately going to find out what happened,” he said.

A man who called 911 told dispatchers the boy was on a swing set and pointing a pistol that was probably fake and scaring everyone. The caller said the boy was pulling the gun in and out of his trousers. “I don’t know if it’s real or not,” the caller added.

Jeff Follmer, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, said the officers were not told the caller thought the gun might be fake.

can't blame the cop from what i read.
