Video shows Tamir Rice shooting aftermath...Extended video released Wednesday showed Cleveland police forced the 14-year-old sister of Tamir Rice to the ground after police shot her brother at Cudell Recreation Center Nov. 22.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland police officers forced Tamir Rice's 14-year-old sister to the ground, handcuffed her and placed in the back of a Cleveland police car steps away from her wounded 12-year-old brother.

The scene plays out within the first two minutes of the 30 minute video taken from the Cudell Recreation Center surveillance camera that captured the shooting. The additional video was obtained by Northeast Ohio Media Group after protracted talks with city officials, who initially refused to release it.

The girl, who was at the park with Tamir, ran to her brother's side when she heard two gunshots fired by first-year Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann.

As the girl neared her brother, Loehmann's partner, Frank Garmback confronted her and forced her to the ground. Loehmann rushed over, and the two knelt beside her as she rolled on the ground. Eventually the officers handcuffed the girl and placed her in the back of the police cruiser, less than 10 feet from her dying brother.

Officers then stood around Tamir as he lay wounded. One officer had his hands on his hips when a man, identified by police as an FBI agent who was in the neighborhood, entered the frame and administered first aid. It was the first medical care the boy received in the four minutes that followed the shooting.

Paramedics did not arrive until about eight minutes after the shooting. Much of what happened to Tamir after the shooting is blocked by Garmback and Loehmann's squad car. The paramedics can be seen working as officers stand around the boy.

Tamir is whisked away on a stretcher a little over 13 minutes after the shooting.

Madison said the video depicted officers who showed "overwhelming indifference" to Tamir as he lay on the ground.

"No one thinks that it's appropriate to try to save him," Madison said. "The first person who does is not affiliated with the Cleveland police department.

"This is the level of service that makes people very upset and distrustful of law enforcement."


So the cops roll up and instantly shoot a 12 year old boy playing with a toy gun.

As his most likely hysterical sister runs towards her dying brother the fucking cops throw her down to the ground, put her in handcuffs!

All the time this is going on the 12 year old kid is bleeding to death on the ground and these assholes KNOW that it was a mistake, he had a toy gun! No ambulance is called as this innocent kids life bleeds out onto the ground!

1. ButBut But there is one good cop somewhere...

[workinclasszero]

2. Thats the rumor

But it only applies in rich white neighborhoods apparently.

All I've seen with my own eyes lately is cops gunning down innocent black kids without a second thought...shoot first and ask questions later..or not at all. Oh and making police funerals a political circus with back turning protests like westburo baptist freaks love to do.

Also if you dare to protest against our 1% masters of the universe overlords the police will be more than happy to break your skull for you!

Youtube occupy wall street protest for that info.

Those good cops sure are a quiet bunch eh? They don't make a sound.

6. You nailed it here

I'm willing to bet that what you described is exactly what happened.

Countdown until the cops are exonnerated with full pay. My most fervent wish is that the FBI agent testifies against them in some way.

7. When this first happened, the gun nut shitheads were in an absolute tizzy, posting images of

the toy gun all over the internet: "Look how real it looks!" Then we get the video showing the cops making about the dumbest fucking approach to the situation imaginable, followed by less then two seconds of surveying this "gun," and executing this child, shooting him down in the street like a rabid dog. Good shoot, they instructed everybody. Good shoot! Now we see this, the epitome of cruelty - doing nothing to help the shot young boy, while tackling his 14 year old sister who is obviously quite desperate to at least comfort her dying little brother. HER DYING LITTLE BROTHER! These are people, you ASSHOLES. Good shoot, they instruct us. FUCK YOU.

Fucking racist trash.
