Prosecutors Show Tamir Rice's Play Gun, and Real Gun - NBC News
Hey look. Tamirs "toy" next to a real with that will kill you instantly. Hmmm. Sitting on your couch can you tell the difference? What about walking in a park having someone point it at you? WHAT ABOUT being the guy told to go confront and control the person pointing it at others....especially when you arrive and he reaches for it???
You gonna pause and say "Whoa whoa whoa son....is that a toy or real???"
Just another reason why I support Black Lives Matter!
Yes. Support the right to try pointing a gun at a cop with no consequences.
Tell us again how many seconds the cops took to evaluate the situation. FOUR seconds...? Also, why did they pull up so close to the kid?
What's long enough in your opinion? Should they wait long enough that when it's real they get shot first. Would that suit you?
People had called claiming someone had a gun. If someone was breaking into your house and you called the police, would you want the police to come to your house or 10 houses down the street? That's how it works. Police go to where the situation is occurring.
Another happy day for racists. Why didn't the dispatcher tell the cops it was a toy gun? Also, why didn't the cops just run over him - since they pulled up right beside him?

The gun had the part that made it distinguishable from a toy gun removed.
Explain how the dispatcher that isn't at the location supposed to know it was a toy.
If someone had a toy gun, one you couldn't tell was a toy, would you run over to them?

Because they didn't KNOW it was a toy.
Imagine....dispatcher tells cop "Caller says the gun might be a toy".
Cop walks up to guy with "toy gun".
Toy gun.....is a real Glock with some orange paint on the tip.
Cop shot in head.
Dispatcher fucked.
That's why they don't say "gun MIGHT BE a toy".

As I recall - the dispatcher was TOLD that it was a toy gun or BB/pellet gun.

Probably fake.
Hear the 911 call about Tamir Rice: Gun is 'probably fake,' caller says
“There is a guy with a pistol,” the caller had said. “It’s probably fake, but he’s pointing it at everybody.”
Key words - he is pointing it at everybody.
You treat a toy like it is real, you get real consequences.
