Tamir's death is justified

[The Polack MSgt]

Because "All Lives Matter" except when it's a black child.

So disgusted right now.

So the cops thought Tamir was a grown man. They thought it was a real pistol.

So what?

In an open carry state, how does that justify immediately shooting him?

How does it excuse standing and watching him bleed in the dirt without attending to his wounds?

[NOLALady]

2. Yup!

Everyone of the Killer Policemen are gang members! Every One.

[LP2K12]

35. I'm getting ready to go through academy...

Your comment is disheartening. Truly...

[uppityperson]

40. It was in response to a now banned troll's comment that Tamir was in a gang

She replied that the "Killer Policemen" are. In response to what she replies to, it was an excellent comment.

Do you disagree that "Killer Policemen" are in gangs? Note she does not say all police, but "Killer Policemen"

[LP2K12]

41. My apologies

Without the other troll post I was of the understanding that she meant all policemen. Thanks for letting me know.

That troll needs to go back to the bridge it came from, I just alerted on them. But please leave the ESL out of it. Many here are ESL. Thanks.

I love a good meltdown.

Fuck off.

[spanone]

12. gang? he was twelve years old. you dialed the wrong number.

[darkangel218]

3. The cops pulled up NEXT TO HIM, AND SHOT HIM DEAD IN LESS THAN A FREAKING SECOND!!!

Meaning they had their guns out of the holsters even before they stopped the car! If that's not murder, than I don't know what it is!!

R.I.P Tamir I'm so sorry that the douchebag pigs murderered you in cold blood

[HughBeaumont]

13. ^^^THIS^^^

And horseshit on Tim Loehmann's fairy tale where they supposedly, possessing skills of an auctioneer, "yelled" for Tamir to put his hands up no less than 4 times within the two seconds of them screeching up before they gunned him down in cold blood.

The whole video proves Timothy Loehmann's story to be a high mound of Triceratops shit, yet they get away with it.

[Bettie]

42. Maybe they were yelling it in the car before they got there

and expected him to somehow have super human hearing.

The whole thing is just a travesty.

People say "trust the police, there are more good ones than bad".

Sorry, no longer buying it, the ones who don't speak up are just as bad as the ones who kill.

And they seem to really be intent upon killing young black men/boys for no apparent reason other than plain old evil.

I'm tired of the victim blaming. I'm tired of seeing a story like this at least one a week and usually more.

And the really awful thing is that until they start killing white kids wholesale, no one will do a fucking thing, because the country really is that racist at the core.

[TDale313]

4. I'm just sick about this.

I'm not totally surprised, sadly, but this is just disgusting. How can no charges be filed?

[bvf]

7. Just heard on the radio.

Sickened beyond belief. Of course, the "authorities" are urging calm.

Christ Almighty.

[Lizzie Poppet]

14. "All lives matter."

You just have to wonder why some of the folks who trot that out don't understand that it's exactly because "all lives matter" that special attention to the value of black lives is necessary. All lives can't matter if parts of "all lives" (that is, black lives) are accorded a lesser value.

[darkangel218]

15. ^^ +1

Thank you!

[The Polack MSgt]

17. Absolutely. Right. On. Target

Cop's lives matter so much more than Black Lives that just inconveniencing cops by making them actually follow the law they swear to uphold is worse than a dead 12 year old boy.

[Lizzie Poppet]

21. 12 goddamn years old.

Yeah, I get that there are armed and dangerous 12-year-olds out there. That's just how fucked up our economic-injustice-ridden society is.

But if you're a law enforcement officer, a part of your job is to develop professional, accurate risk assessment skills. And professional risk assessment skills involve having the courage to take enough time to make a professional assessment, even if that increases your risk. Not racially profile a middle-schooler and shoot them within seconds of your arrival.

This is so infuriating.

[onecaliberal]

16. It's all so unfuckingbelievable. There were ten things

I can think of at the top of my head rather than roll right up next to him and shoot without saying anything. That is murder period.

[darkangel218]

18. Remember, they shot him in LESS THAN A SECOND.

Meaning they must have had their guns drawn and aiming at Tamir before they even stopped the cruiser!

:'(

[onecaliberal]

22. I know. What the fuck kind of training is that.

How is that no violation?
Family needs to file litigation. Ruin both of them. Take everything they'll ever have. If I was the parent of Tamir, that would be letting them off easy. My heart it aching so badly for the parents

[darkangel218]

23. They will file litigation,

But money won't bring back their son. This abusive behavior cops engage in needs to stop ASAP!! Enough is enough!! No more of this fuking shit!!!

[onecaliberal]

24. I never said money would bring back their child.

It's more about ruining the life of the killers, it's the only punishment they'll receive.

[darkangel218]

25. And more people will die, if nothing else is being done about it.

This needs to stop.

[darkangel218]

26. BTW, I didn't mean to imply you said that, I was just thinking ahead.

Cops needs to stop killing innocent people, period. That was my point.

[onecaliberal]

30. I agree completely.

It's mostly black people this is happening to. Until you get local folks all over America elected who care, it's not going to change. It's beyond disgusting. It's evil.

[katsy]

19. R u fugging kidding me? This is shit.

😭😭😭😭😭

This is pure shit.

20. During my recent visit to Cleveland, OH ...

I spoke with a member of BLM's inner circle (a cousin of a very close friend), several community activists (that I grew up with and worked with when I lived in Cleveland), a couple family members that work in the Cleveland PD, and an Asst. Prosecutor (that I went to Law school with ... she was in my Criminal Procedure study group).

And from those discussions, I came away with a couple conclusions ... specifically, a bad outcome does not constitute a crime.

First, the rookie cop that pulled the trigger was rightfully exonerated ... Yes, he shot a kid; but, the facts suggest, he was placed in a position, by his (veteran) Training Officer, that NO jury would have convicted.

However, just about everyone agreed, the veteran Training Officer should have been charged with Negligent Homicide, for "cowboying it up" and driving too fast and close to the scene, placing the rookie in a position of having to make the split second shoot/no shoot decision, from a distance of less than 6 feet, and no cover.

Now, there were other non-prosecutable problems with how the CPD handled the immediate aftermath of the shooting, i.e., failure to render aid, the treatment of the family (particularly, Rice's juvenile sister).

There, also, was a failure of the community center program ... Tamar and his sister, went to a daycare program. His sister showed up; but, Tamir didn't ... she told the operators that Tamir was outside playing and no one took the time to go get him.

Sadly, we all agreed that a bad outc

[randys1]

27. And yet I dont see them doing any of it if the kid is white, no RACING up to him, no INSTANTLY

shooting and killing him.

12 yr old white kids look like 12 yrs old to white folks and most cops.

12 yr old Black kids look like mean, run amok wildMEN to white folks and cops.

[darkangel218]

28. +1

Because black lives don't matter to the mother fucking pieces of shit pig cops. :'(

Nor to the racist piece of shit juries, who aquit murderers!

This is so sick :'(

citing one of the studies in the analysis piece I am working on.

eHow Legal Criminal Law Criminal Law Basics Voluntary Vs. Involuntary Manslaughter

Voluntary Vs. Involuntary Manslaughter
By Beverly Bird


There’s a big difference between doing something by accident and doing it intentionally. This is the difference between involuntary and voluntary manslaughter. Both involve causing another’s death, but manslaughter typically brings less serious penalties than murder. Sentences and details can vary by state so check with a local attorney if you have concerns.

Difference Between Third Degree Murder & Involuntary Manslaughter
What Is the Difference Between Voluntary & Involuntary Manslaughter?

Involuntary Manslaughter

Involuntary manslaughter is the result of negligence, recklessness or irresponsibility. It’s not murder because you didn’t set out to commit it with malice aforethought, and it’s not voluntary manslaughter because it’s the unintended result of another action you took. If you drive recklessly and strike and kill a pedestrian, you might be aware that driving in such a way poses a risk of harm to others, but you did it anyway. This is negligence and could result in charges of involuntary manslaughter, which typically carries less serious penalties than voluntary manslaughter.

Voluntary Manslaughter

Voluntary manslaughter is more serious than involuntary manslaughter because it involves taking intentional action. It’s separated from murder by your state of mind at the time. Murder typically involves some level of premeditation or it occurs in the process of committing another felony, such as robbery. Voluntary manslaughter is instigated by situations of extreme emotion, such as if someone provokes or betrays you and you react in fury or grief. A voluntary manslaughter charge might also come about if you use deadly force to protect yourself when, in fact, you misread the situation and deadly force wasn't necessary.

hard to believe you are defending this execution of a child

[1StrongBlackMan]

31. First, I have the benefit of far more than ...

EHow.com to inform my opinion. Secondly, nowhere have I defend the person responsible for the killing of Tamir Rice. In fact, I indicated that charges should have been brought.

explain to me why voluntary manslaughter is not the correct charge

another question,can't any citizen go to the grand jury to bring charges?

37. Because ...

explain to me why voluntary manslaughter is not the correct charge

A voluntary manslaughter charge might also come about if you use deadly force to protect yourself when, in fact, you misread the situation and deadly force wasn't necessary.

There is not a jury in the world that would convict on the facts of this case ... the rookie cop was drove up to, and deposited to, within a matter of feet of someone, believed to have been armed. Bottom line, juries tend to being sympathetic to fact patterns where making a split second shot/no shot decision ... because unlike, second thinking activists, they tend to understand the price for making the wrong decision is NOT going home to your wife/husband and family. Whether I agree or disagree with the ultimate decision. doesn't change how juries/grand juries think.

another question,can't any citizen go to the grand jury to bring charges?

The short answer is, Yes ... but the real world answer is, No ... this rarely happens, and when it does, it doesn't go anywhere because the citizens have relied on internet law; rather than, real world law.

[questionseverything]

38. second thinking activists? thanks for the snark

i have served on grand juries a couple different times, there are only 2 questions,was a crime committed? was this person involved?

////////////////////////

wether the trial jury would convict was not supposed to be considered

//////////////////////

so if you think this was a bad call (at least about the driving cop) why don't you and a couple of your lawyer friends get at least him indicted?since you would have real world law on your side and all

i mean you are in a position you could actually do something about this
