What about Tamir Rice? :/ We all played with toy guns as little boys at some point or pretended to. He was playing with one, someone said there is a kid in the park playing with a gun (its probably fake though). Cop drives directly up to him. Got out of the car and immediately gunned him down. He got off, no charge what so ever, didnt even go to court. How does shit like this happen??

  • How about we drop the gun and no I did not go around pointing realistic toy guns at people and the police and police aren't going to wait for you to drop your gun before they shoot you if you point it at them you're getting shot period

    Because that's not what happened. There was a report that a kid had a gun. Usually a toy guns tip is orange to let you know and other people know it's not lethal. Well for whatever reason they painted the tip black so it looked like a revolver from a distance. The kid pointed the gun at the cop and the cop shot and killed. He had the right to shoot and kill the kid. When the police rolled up the kid pulled the gun from his waist so there's no reason to be upset.

  • The kid did NOT react. The car pulled up, the cop got out and immediately fired. Dude did you not see the video? It was literally a drive by. Lets pretend the gun was real. As a cop he was supposed to access the situation first. Is this kid a threat? Is he about to harm anyone. Make yourself known, request that he drops his weapon, blah blah, there is a procedure to be followed.

    Yes the kid did react. He went for his waist. The police did not know that there was a chance the gun was fake because the orange tip was not on it. When the police rolled up the kid went for his waist it doesn't matter if the kid was deemed a threat at all. The cops not just going to wait and see if the guns fake or if the kids a threat. The cop reacted in the right way and made the right call. I love when people are ignorant. Also there is no procedure when someone's reaching for a gun or something. It's deemed as an immediate threat. The procedure is to shoot.

  • Thank you. People seem to think that a cop is supposed to be fired upon first or some shit. When in reality: Life in danger = shoot to kill

  • Especially when there's a report of someone having a gun. They didn't see the gun when they rolled up but they saw the kid going for his waste. It's life and death In a situation like that. You don't have time to ask questions
