Sheriff’s Report Provides New Details on Tamir Rice’s Death, but Leaves Questions
A lengthy report by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department does not answer whether a Cleveland police officer issued a warning before firing on the 12-year-old boy.Police departments believe in twelve year old gang executioners.
Boys with replica guns will continue to die as long as that faith persists.
The police can be repopulated. The faith will not change.
Boys can be forbidden replica guns. That has been tried.
The faux news can be regulated.
The community can inform on the gangs.
That is probably what happened in Cleveland.
The police can be disarmed in general.
We will continue to need SWAT teams called in by patrol officers.
Sometimes the danger is real.
