A WORD ABOUT TAMIR

AS YOU'VE HEARD, THE POLICE OFFICERS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE
FATAL SHOOTING OF 12 YR OLD TAMIR RICE HAVE BEEN CLEARED BY
THE GRAND JURY......AND LIKE CLOCKWORK, THE PROTESTORS ARE OUT
THERE RAISING HELL WHILE IGNORING THE FACTS......YOUNG TAMIR
WAS A LARGE BOY, ALMOST 6 FT TALL....195 LBS....HIS WAIST SIZE, 36 IN,
HIS SHOE SIZE....12......HE WAS AN IMPOSING FIGUIRE............

# 1) WHO BOUGHT THAT REALISTIC LOOKING PELLET GUN AND GAVE IT
TO THAT BOY?
# 2) WHO LET THAT BOY PLAY UNSUPERVISED IN THE PARK, ALL BY
HIMSELF??!!
# 3) WHO BEARS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE ERRORS IN JUDGEMENT???

(SINCE WE ARE QUESTIONING THE JUDGEMENT OF THOSE TWO OFFICERS)

I HAD A REALISTIC LOOKING PELLET GUN SOME YRS AGO. IT WAS AN
M16 STYLE, ASSAULT TOY.....IT HAD THE WEIGHT, FEEL AND LOOK OF A
REAL WEAPON.....BUT I HAD THE GOOD SENSE NOT TO WAVE IT AROUND
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT....A 12 YR OLD BOY WOULD NOT HAVE THAT SENSE
EVEN IF HE WAS TOLD NOT TO PLAY WITH IT....HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
SUPERVISED BY AN ADULT!!
I USED TO SHOOT AT THE BUS STOP SIGN FROM MY TERRACE AT NIGHT
KNOWING THAT IF I WAS SEEN BY COPS, I COULD BE IN TROUBLE..........
