The Tamir Rice situation is appalling.

The Tamir Rice situation is appalling. I have a hard time faulting a cop for believing someone who pulls a gun and points it is a threat. Now the fact that it was a toy gun and the caller to 911 reported the gun was "probably fake" need to be considered as well. Just a tragedy all around.

They shot him within a second of pulling up to the scene. Don't they have loudspeakers or something like that they could've used upon arriving to tell him to drop it?

Kid had no chance. Pretty much an execution as far as I'm concerned.

You point any gun at a cop, I can't fault them.

He never even had a chance to point the gun at them. I'm not sure what video you guys are watching.

You see him pointing the gun at someone off camera right at the beginning.

So the protesters are back shutting down highways to protest the shooting of a gang member who pointed a gun at a cop? If you are old enough to bang and get a full size, full color throat tatt then the "he was just a 16 year old boy" bullshit is out the window. How can this movement maintain any credibility defending individuals like this?

These are the kind of cases that kill any sort of credibility for the BLM movement. They badly need leadership and they also need to pick and choose their incidences much more wisely. There's certainly some credence to their overall message but they've gone about all wrong at almost every turn.

Hustlers and opportunists are protesting this.
It hurts the actual cause of police shootings.
