Repeating the same lie won't make it truth Joe.
Rick pulled a gun out on police. They had no idea it was a toy. The dispatcher who obviously didn't tell the responding officers that it could be a toy resigned from her position. The case was reviewed over and over again, and it was found police acted appropriately by a Grand Jury, just like the Brown case.
As far as most black criminals are concerned, any action by the police is brutality.
Yea, you see, I don't see a black 12 year old playing with a toy as being a "Criminal"....
Apparently the kids' name is "Tamir Rice" not "Rick". You see, "Rick" is the kind of name a white kid would have, which means he probably wouldn't have been shot 1.2 seconds after the cop jumped out of the car.
We could also talk about how Officer Timothy Loehman, who had fired the fatal shots, had been fired from the Independence, OH PD for inability to handle his weapon or maintain emotional composure... Cleveland hired him anyway, probably because Cleveland is such a fucked up place, just wanting to live there qualifies you.
His Partner, Frank Garmback, was the subject of a $100,000 settlement for an excessive force violation.
Shooting of Tamir Rice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The initial account was given by Deputy Chief of Field Operations Ed Tomba, before the video emerged:[22]
- Police said that Rice was seated at a table with other people. The video showed that Rice was alone.[44]
- Police said that as they pulled up, they saw Rice grab the pellet gun and put it in his waistband. This is not supported by the video.[45] Judge Adrine said the video does not show the pellet gun in Rice's hands in the moments immediately before as the zone car approaches.[8]
- Police said that Rice then reached into his waistband and pulled out the pellet gun, and was then shot and killed by Officer Timothy Loehmann. The video shows that Rice did not pull out the pellet gun.[46] In the video, Rice is using both hands to hold his shirt up and expose the pellet gun to view just before he falls to the ground.
- Police described the pellet gun as looking real and later explained that the neon tip of the pellet gun was missing.[9] However the police never saw Rice brandish or point the pistol at them to determine if the orange cap was actually missing or not.[9]
