smh. before the vid, cops stated they told him to put his hands up 3 TIMES. within 2 seconds of them pulling up right next to tamir, he was shot dead in cold blood. again, horrible policing.
Feel sorry for the kid but the video explains it all. Another race bait thread, if there is any blame to go around blame it on the ignorant parents who probably bought this for him and didn't teach him that this day in age you don't point at cops.

dispatch gets some blame here too for not letting cletus and boss hog know the person is a juvenile and the gun may be fake.
again, this story is in national new media. how is making a thread on it race baiting? unless you're saying you're a racist
It's already been proven you are a racist on here. This thread is to yet again incite more people to rage over your belief that the white man is out to get you.
you think they're going to take that chance? its a life or death job. and a juvenile with a gun is just as dangerous as an adult with a gun. he might not even understand the consequences of his actions as much as an adult would
i agree that its fishy that the cops claimed they told him to drop it 3 times, while the shooting seemed pretty damn instant
And if you want to play the simple game what would you do in the cops position? Risk your life and think it's a toy or go home to live another day. I bet you say choice #1 and think its a toy to save face but I'm pretty sure you are pumping 6 rounds into him before he has a chance to point it at you.
Looks like a kid wandering around aimlessly playing with his toy gun to me.
Race isn't an issue with everything, but if you can't see the relevance here you're in serious ing denial. Like I said yesterday, a white 12-year-old kid playing "cowboy" on a playground with a toy pistol probably doesn't get 911 called on him, and definitely doesn't get immediately shot. , me and my white friends used to run around our neighborhood pointing toy guns at each other all the time, we never had the cops called on us.
LOL claiming this is justified. Even when someone is KNOWN to have a gun and is being threatening with it, they're given more than TWO SECONDS to react to police presence.
Sad situation. Credit to the CPD for releasing as many details as possible. Hopefully this one actually goes to trial.
Tragic event and sucks that another young life had to be taken but once again but this video looks cut and dry to me and shown cops were in the right. Pull a gun out on cops and you will be shot.
Also the cops were not going around looking to shoot him they were callled.
You park further away, get out of your car and give the kid a chance to put his ing gun down. That's pretty standard procedure.
I mean at this point it's like you guys would justify cops shooting any random person on the street on su ion that they're armed. At what point would you ever be willing to side with the victim?
You've heard the phrase, "Put down your weapon" correct?
Also people using they OMG he was shot in seconds when he pulled out the gun!!! Murderers!!!. IT only takes a second of hesitation to be killed.
they were responding to a rec center. knowing in advance that the suspect was a youth and probably holding a toy gun, they would have probably used a little more patience and handled the situation a lot better. they could have thought "hey, maybe its a kid from the rec center playing with a toy gun" lets stay in the car and use our microphone to direct him to drop the weapon instead of pulling up directly on a suspect and killing him within 2 seconds of their arrival.
Sure, if you pull the car up two feet from the suspect.
people hate police when they get speeding tickets but have every excuse in the world when they kill an unarmed child, sickening
they didn't know it was a toy gun. even the 911 call said "i dont know if its real"
welp, that didn't take long
Wasn't unarmed...
the call was for a gun and be it toy gun or not the orange rubber safty end was removed.
if the gun is pointed at the cop, they can shoot right away tbh... if somebody is holding a gun, they can tell him to drop it, sure. if the gun is pointed at them its a different story
he says "its probably fake"
Cops are huge pussies. Nothing new here.
he was shot within 2 seconds of the cops showing up. dispatcher should have relayed that info to the cops. cops should have used some common sense knowing they were going to a rec center full of kids when the suspect was identified as a juvenile.
he once was caught underaged drinking!
sociopath. how was he allowed on the force?
What kind of idiotic post is this? Side with the victim who pulled a weapon that looks real on cops of all people? How ing stupid are you?
