How Tamir Rice died
Tamir Rice was a 12-year old boy, playing with an orange soft Airsoft gun at the Cudell Recreation Center. A caller called in to 911, saying that someone is “pointing a gun” at people, and said twice during the call that the “gun is probably fake” (although this information was not relayed to the policemen, including Timothy Loehmann). When the officers arrived on the scene, apparently they repeatedly yelled “show me your hands” through the open patrol car window. Loehmann further claimed that instead of showing his hands, Loehmann was trying to draw a gun. In response, Loehmann shot Tamir twice, and he died the following day.
Just one of many examples of black people dying in situations that I would be totally unharmed by. 202006022328
