@theworldismine13 was your childhood so depraved and disparate that you don't know children play outside alone?
My childhood was of the sort that there is no way in hell that at 12 I would be playing with a BB gun outside pretending it's real, and terrorizing people, all by myself, because grown people around me would not have allowed that to happen
And I grew up in the projects, our guns were little tree branches and I don't recall playing by myself out in the cold, if I was shooting at somebody with my little tree branch gun it would have been my friend
Like I said this discussion should be about what was going through the cops mind, don't try to argue that the situation was normal and that Tamir wasn't a victim of the breakdown in family structure
No 12 year old black child should ever be in a situation like that
