Re: Tamir Rice: Judge finds cause for Murder charge over police killing of 12 year-o
say what you want. it doesn't matter. the video clearly shows him lifting up his shirt and reaching for something in the front of his pants. your bias is your bias.
being black doesn't have anything to do with it and the fact you have to try and pull the race card shows how bad your argument really is.
no i would expect a 12 year old to know not to take a gun from a house and point it in random direction in a park in a bad neighborhood.
that is just common sense.
cops are free to kill people that is a strawman. the cops are allowed to use deadly force if the situation calls for it.
not knowing what to expect and having the person walking toward you pulling up his shirt and seeing a gun handle is enough to invite deadly force.
unfortunately the kid got shot.
however the bigger question is why is in he in a public park pointing guns around in random directions.
We've already covered most of the ground, but you keep asserting he was reaching for the gun. We don't know that - I've looked at the video and can't see the gun or tell what he was actually reaching for. The police assumed it was the gun, and shot him dead before they could know what he was doing or what his intentions were. We'll just have to disagree.

Second, if you are black male in a bad neighborhood, of course the better move is to probably put your hands up and slowly lay down on the ground so you can be searched, but we shouldn't have to have passed a course in how to interact with cops and expect 12 year olds to get that right every time or else the cops are free to kill them, and have no repercussions. This isn't a police state.
