Cleveland Police Filed Charges like “Aggravated Menacing” & “Inducing Panic” On Tamir Rice To Justify Shooting Him

If you’re a cop and you’ve just shot a 12-year old kid dead without giving him a chance to follow your orders, what do you do? You file a report making it look like he was a criminal, that’s what.

According to recently obtained documents from the Cleveland Police Department, 12-year old Tamir Rice was going to be charged with the outrageous crimes of “aggravated menacing” and “inducing panic.”

Dear police: We give those crimes back to you. All across the United States, you have induced panic and served as aggravating menaces and have gotten away with these crimes for far too long.

How dare you ever consider charging this young brother with these crimes. He was no menace, but a sixth-grade boy, and the only reason you or anyone else panicked was because of his brown skin. Here are eight white people who pointed real guns at real people and lived to tell the story.

Here is the bogus criminal report for Tamir.

Notice the following three points.

  1. They list three victims of Tamir Rice:
    1. The State of Ohio 
    2. Officer Loehmann (who shot and killed Tamir) 
    3. Officer Garmback (who drove the vehicle) 
  2. This is essential. They are not claiming Tamir was a menace or induced panic to other people in the park, but to the officers. ABSURD. 
  3. At the end of the report, notice that they say this complaint was “abated by death.“ 
  4. Notice the officer who shot and killed Tamir claims to have had minor injuries.

12 year old black boy shot by a white cop for having a BB gun. I’m fucking disgusted. The boy is fighting for his life right now. 

This is beyond ridiculous

“The young man”.
I like how the reporter corrected him on the spot and said “the boy”.
They use certain words to make us seem older than we are to take away a layer of innocence.

12-year-old boy wielding what turned out to be a BB gun when he was shot by police outside a Cleveland recreation center has died, police union official confirms – @clevelanddotcom

His name was Tamir E. Rice. 

He was a child playing with a toy. And he was murdered.

And this fucking asshole white cop has the nerve to call him a “young man.” He’s already trying to justify this – how long before he starts calling this baby a thug, or a gangster? 

AND HE WAS A BABY. And white people wanna talk about “it’s not about race.” Remember Tamir and the countless innocent Black lives that have been stolen. While white serial killers and murderers get escorted carefully away. While white people in Target are carrying loaded shotguns and shit. While these white cops/murderers get put on paid leave.
