a 12 yo running around with a toy gun is completely nuts
The way you minimize the behavior to fit your narrative is pathetic.

you can pretend it was just a toy like it doesn't look like "just a real gun" all you want, you can also pretend to know right now the history or mindset of the cop who shot.PS:

Video of Cleveland police shooting of Tamir Rice raises disturbing questions: editorial
One moment Tamir Rice was stomping on a snowball like any 12-year-old kid might do and the next he was shot and fatally wounded by a Cleveland police officer.
The details of how this tragic shooting went down still need to be fleshed out, but based on a surveillance video of the shooting at Cudell Recreation Center on Cleveland's West Side, the police have a lot of explaining to do.
Not the least of which is why the two officers involved failed to immediately give first aid to the fallen boy. It wasn't until an FBI agent who happened to be in the area arrived four minutes later that Tamir was given any such attention.
The account Cleveland police gave of the shooting by a rookie police officer does not seem to match what the video reveals.
The police said two officers, responding to a 9-1-1 call, went to the park and saw Tamir take what they thought was a pistol from a table under a gazebo in the park and stuff it in his waistband. Police said that the boy was sitting with a group at the time.
Police also said that the officers told Tamir three times to raise his hands, and that when he reached for what they thought was a real pistol, he was shot.
The video, however, shows officers in a cruiser pull up within several feet of Rice, who was not with a group, but by himself underneath a gazebo. Immediately, even before the car stops rolling,the cruiser's passenger side door opens, an officer emerges and fires at Tamir, who drops to the ground.
Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba said the officers ordered Tamir to "show your hands" three times from the ajar passenger door, but it's hard to believe that's possible based on the video.
The shot that struck Tamir appears to have been fired the very moment the officer stands up after getting out of the car. If this is the proper technique for confronting an armed gunman, let alone a 12-year-old boy with a toy gun, one has to wonder what training manual they are consulting.
Why did the officers drive right up to Tamir? Why didn't they park further away, climb out of their car and shield themselves with a door or another section of the car, and then order Tamir to drop his weapon?
As we said, the police have a lot of explaining to do.

r.i.p Tamir
Why didn't the cop perform cpr and wait till the FBI arrived(who coincidentally are also investigating the department for their brutality)?
The department is lying and there is a coverup in progress.

did you watch the same video i saw? do you think there is anything normal about what was going on before the shooting?
Uh yeah it was normal. You have a play gun and you play like you're shooting at things. Kids do it all day everyday.

lol, ok, if you think that video is normal.................ok
i think that video is crazy
Since most white cops become cops because they have a bloodlust for black people and the behavior in that video is reflective of most kids, I'm shocked there aren't more of these incidents.

Yeah that brown skin makes everything look crazy
i dont even know what to tell you, so a 12 year old kid, in the park by himself, in the middle of winter, pointing guns at people is normal.................alrighty then

More cops shooting kids than vice versa so yeah it happens way too much.
But anyway I see the dishonesty in the argument you are trying to make. So kindly don't quote me unless you want to address things I've actually said. Thank you.
Tamir didn't do anything Ralphie didn't do in that video I posted.
Why is one of them iconic American culture, and the other one "nuts"?

hmm, wow, again, i dont really know what to say, where in the video is ralphie pointing guns at people?
are you seriously, with a straight face saying those situations are equivalent? if you are there is something wrong with you
Where in the video do you see tamir "pointing at people"
