Cleveland Officer KILLS 12 Year Old Black Boy Armed With BB Gun *UPDATE 3* SHOOTING VIDEO RELEASED!!

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Caller who called in incident could tell it was "probably" a fake gun but police are already saying the BB gun was "indistinguishable" from a real gun 10 feet away lol

 

[Citi Trends]

Only facts from the press conference:

Cop and Rice were about 10 from each other

Cop treated for minor injuries

Video clearly shows what happened

Police still have not reviewed radio records between dispatchers and cops lol lol lol

oh word
if it's so clear cut the video should be about sometime soon

Press conference about to start:

http://fox8.com/live-stream-b/

Highlights from press conference

- rice family declined to view video of shooting
- there rep did view it
- officers currently on admin leave
-the facsimile weapon used in this incident was indistinguishable from a real gun
-unsure if the video will ever be released, but it might
- the tape is "very clear" of what happened
- police can use deadly force when they believe there is probably cause by an offender to harm the officer or the public (grant vs coner)


Those were the main points, besides that they had black officers on there talkin about toys aren't guns etc etc, "our" ppl not to educate there kids blah blah


Overall they sound pretty confident that the video will clear the officer

It's an airsoft pistol, the only way you can tell is my looking at the bore of the barrel. The only way you can tell is by looking down the barrel of the pistol.

Chief said the cop was protecting himself. Of course.

Protecting himself from what? A 12 year old on a swing??

 

[Maxine Shaw]

Poor kid was probably scared out of his mind

Probably was trying to pull it out to show that it wasn't real.

Same thing I thought.......that is if what the police are saying is true.

...what were the injuries..him shooting his gun? do they throw that in there to show that the cop was in danger...

So want off the called to tell the dispather the gun was fake multiple times???

Bruh, the police fukked up. They didnt disseminate all the information to the street officers. I think the rookie cop was excessive in what he did, but I also think the entire department is culpable in this situation.

Witness makes sure the cops know the gun is probably fake but the dispatchers don't do the same for the cops?

Well, maybe they did which is why the cops have glossed over that aspect of the investigation so far.

Honestly that's probably exactly what he was trying to do.

It's a sad situation, but If that's the case, I can't fault the officer.

I'd love to see what people think should be the officers punishment.

They said that as well

Officers are trained to kill not to disarm

I'm not arguing with you on that. All I'm saying is that the airsoft looks just like a 9, and if/when the dispatchers tape is released its hard to hold the cop accountible. The boy was scared and tried to pull it out to show the cop that it was fake and the cop busted because the boy didn't follow directions because he feared for his own safety thinking it was a real gun
