"But he said there was no way the officers could have known that."

HOW ABOUT THEY FUCKING TALK TO HIM, YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!?!?!?

FUCKING SERIOUSLY. like we all saw the damn video where they drove in like a bat out of hell and just started shooting without a beat in between. they couldn't have stopped long enough to tell him to drop the gun at the very least? this is such fucking bullshit, my rage has hit nuclear levels.

Oh, but according to too many people I've argued with (including a HS friend with two biracial sons who could EASILY be the next two Tamirs), they gave him multiple warnings, he was waving the gun, and he looked like an adult, despite, you know--THE ENTIRE VIDEO PROVING THAT WAS BULLSHIT.

The lengths some people are going to pin the blame on a CHILD for his own murder makes me sick and enraged beyond my ability to think.

Every time I see a picture of that kid all I can think is "God I am SO sorry."

I'm tired, y'all. I'm just so tired. Fuck you, Timothy McGinty.

you've summed up this situation perfectly, and it's so, so beyond depressing that it has to be this way.

This showed up on my Facebook feed earlier today. Entirely appropriate.

What utter bullshite. Fucking revolting. So sick and tired of my stupid, fucked-up country's 'justice' system.

I am so utterly disgusted. We, society, have to change our mentality about how we think about the role of government, in particular the judicial system and the police, and guns.
