Re: Tamir Rice: Judge finds cause for Murder charge over police killing of 12 year-o
The kid was reaching as the Officer said he was, which is an imminent threat.
His response to a lethal threat with lethal force was appropriate, as such his life should not be put in jeopardy for acting appropriately.
As for the way the driver approached. And? That may or may be a reason to give him more training, but does not negate the other Officer's correct action in responding to the threat.
It should absolutely go to a grand jury. Whether the kid was armed or not there was no imminent threat when the cop came up and the way he approached was reckless and stupid.
