Re: Tamir Rice: Judge finds cause for Murder charge over police killing of 12 year-o
Still doesn't make it murder given the circumstances. Just like we found in the Zimmerman case...stupidity does not equate to murder. I'm guessing this is manslaughter.
It wasn't premeditated but from what I saw the cop rolled up right on top of the kid and started pulling the trigger. It may have been the worst display of tactics I have ever seen. There was no attempt to diffuse the situation and, as far as I could tell, nobody else was in the immediate vicinity so there wasn't an imminent threat to public safety.
