"CLEVELAND — The police officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice told investigators that the boy reached for a gun just before the patrolman opened fire.
"He gave me no choice. He reached for the gun and there was nothing I could do," Cleveland police Officer Timothy Loehmann told a fellow officer in the moments after he shot Tamir at a gazebo outside the a recreation center on Nov. 22.
The officer's words — released Saturday in a 224-page report from Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty — mark the first time the Loehmann's account of the shooting was revealed."
> What are the odds he doesn’t live with his father? <
The father says, “Not my responsibility; I wore a rubber.”
You seem to assume this kid had parents, plural. This is fairly unlikely, statistically.
Auto spell check?
The cops shouldn’t have shot him
****************************
Do you really believe that?
That is similar to a parent allowing someone to train their child in how become a successful suicide bomber.
Dat raciss!
But, the BLM people are going to pump this story up until there's a blowout.
What are you talking about? Responding to call of an armed robbery and some AH pulls what appears to be a real firearm. Get real.
Yea, no kidding. The “kid” was bigger than I am and the video of him pointing the gun at girls walking past him in the park has “disappeared”. This dindu earned his dirt nap.
If that height and weight are correct, he was same height as me and weighed 40 pounds more.
If it was a BB gun and not a real one. The facts and information needs to come out first.
If it was a BB gun and not a real one.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The kid drew what looked to be a real gun, cop had to assess the situation immediately. The gun looked very real, cop shot him. Good shoot.
I read the twitter feed for awhile. Most tweets were about how the police murdered another innocent black kid. Particularly vocal was that cultural identity confused Sean King.
Facts don’t matter, only feelings.
Another riot in the making...
