WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BREAK THE LAW WHY CANT YOU JUST COMPLY WITH EVERYTHING THE COPS SAY LIKE A GOOD DARKIE
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A rookie Cleveland police officer shot a 12-year-old boy outside a city recreation center late Saturday afternoon after the boy pulled a BB gun from his waistband, police said.
Police were responding to reports of a male with a gun outside Cudell Recreation Center at Detroit Avenue and West Boulevard about 3:30 p.m., Deputy Chief of Field Operations Ed Tomba said.
A rookie officer and a 10-15 year veteran pulled into the parking lot and saw a few people sitting underneath a pavilion next to the center. The rookie officer saw a black gun sitting on the table, and he saw the boy pick up the gun and put it in his waistband, Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association President Jeffrey Follmer said.
The officer got out of the car and told the boy to put his hands up. The boy reached into his waistband, pulled out the gun and the rookie officer fired two shots, Tomba said.
Tomba said the child did not threaten the officer verbally or physically.
At least one of the shots hit the child in the stomach. He was rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center in serious condition. His current condition was not immediately known.
As a handful of community activists shouted obscenities from behind a group of reporters, Tomba said the incident was "very, very tragic."
"We don't come to work everyday and want to use force on anybody," Tomba said. "That's not what our job is. We're part of this community."
The department's use of deadly force investigation team, made up of officers from the homicide and internal affairs units, members of the city's Office of Professional Standards and the city and Cuyahoga County prosecutors office, will determine if the officer was justified in shooting the boy.
Tomba promised the investigation would be open.
"When an officer gives a command, we expect it to be followed," Tomba said. "The way it looks like right now, it wasn't followed, but we're going to continue our investigation."
The shooting comes as the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the department to determine if it regularly uses excessive force against its citizens.
Northeast Ohio Media Group will continue to update this story.

Hmmm, from what I read the Kid pulled a weapon out when a cop asked him not too? Is it tragic? Yes.
Why are toy guns sold if this is the result.
Leave it to race baiters like Shrill Trill to start such threads.
Tragic, yes. The kid should have been taught weapons responsibility before handling one. Toy or not, a BB gun is a weapon.
my is a weapon doesn't mean I should be shot for it
here we go. so i guess the many reporters and networks who are reporting this story are race baiting. watch the vid you geek and you'll see he was murdered within seconds of police arriving at the scene.
good question.
when every toy gun has an orange safety tip for a reason and you remove it...
do you think the police in the car on the way were talking like "hey i dno why, but i really feel like shooting a black kid today. OH here's an opportunity!"
thats irrelevant. poor police work and the result is a loss of innocent life.
thanks for not answering my question
anyone who defends the officers after seeing the video is a coward. period.
you're welcome
meh
when it comes to kid they usually prepare for the black community ahead of time...but all the rest of us get this type of treatment:
Stupid people die every day...both black and white. Thankfully he doesn't get a chance to become a stupid adult. As the past week has shown we have way too many of those right now.
Here's part two of the story....
too bad we can't say the same for your loving daughter...
Looks like a justified shooting to me:
^^looks pretty cut and dry.
I'm sure some of her black male classmates would say the same thing ;-)
