someone would have called 911. You have some nitwit call 911 and tell them ther are 2 suspiceous looking blacks
walking around carrying guns in the mall. Chances are they would end up dead like the guy in the Walmart in
Cincinatti, which is also in the state of Ohio where open carry is leagal.

yep...and his comment is only about the toy gun noiretextatique Nov 2014 #23

thanks...they are on to their next project noiretextatique Nov 2014 #7

They slept in late Spirochete Nov 2014 #9

i eagerly await them and their idiotic excuses noiretextatique Nov 2014 #16

Or this hughee99 Nov 2014 #4

i've seen that over a zillion times noiretextatique Nov 2014 #8

I can't believe a poorly trained, trigger-happy cop mistook this for a real gun. hughee99 Nov 2014 #11

and the kid was 12 year old! noiretextatique Nov 2014 #12

If he was any younger, they might have claimed they shot him for his OWN protection hughee99 Nov 2014 #13

i know, it is just so sad noiretextatique Nov 2014 #15

Are you serious? NickB79 Nov 2014 #17

I think that toys should not be allowed to be made to look like real guns. tblue37 Nov 2014 #19

Agreed. I hate those fake guns. NickB79 Nov 2014 #37

Perhaps you're right, maybe the way to handle this is to attempt to find out hughee99 Nov 2014 #20

Their reaction was way, way too fast. Less than 5 seconds??? n/t nomorenomore08 Nov 2014 #24

almost like it was the plan noiretextatique Nov 2014 #25

You left out one crucial point NickB79 Nov 2014 #36

here's a crucial point: Ohio is an open-carry state noiretextatique Nov 2014 #48

i find it very hard to believe noiretextatique Nov 2014 #21

i see you are focusing on the toy gun ONLY. noiretextatique Nov 2014 #22

I'm focused on the toy gun because it was brought up in this thread NickB79 Nov 2014 #35

About that waistband reach--if the cops were screaming at him to tblue37 Nov 2014 #38

they didn't even give him time to comply noiretextatique Nov 2014 #41

That's a good point. 12-yr olds don't always think the same as adults NickB79 Nov 2014 #43

he was 12 year old...they shot him in 5 seconds noiretextatique Nov 2014 #40

And 12-yr olds with guns have murdered people before NickB79 Nov 2014 #42

but this 12yo did not noiretextatique Nov 2014 #44

No, he didn't deserve to die NickB79 Nov 2014 #45

I do fault them for killing him 2 seconds after roaring up in their car. n/t virtualobserver Nov 2014 #51

Lol BlindTiresias Nov 2014 #58

You're being facetious, right? jmowreader Nov 2014 #26

do YOU have any comment of the other items? noiretextatique Nov 2014 #27

Those definitely do not look like guns jmowreader Nov 2014 #31

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE noiretextatique Nov 2014 #32

This one does because it really does jmowreader Nov 2014 #33

thank you for proving my point noiretextatique Nov 2014 #34

hmmm...i found out that Ohio is an open-carry state noiretextatique Nov 2014 #49

Exactly, about three months ago I saw a couple walking through the mall both with doc03 Nov 2014 #52

they might have been killed in les than 5 seconds noiretextatique Nov 2014 #53

Hey I am white and I have no doubt that at the very least doc03 Nov 2014 #55

I saw the video, the boy was walking around and nobody else was even near him. Why wouldn't doc03 Nov 2014 #54

that video is horrifying noiretextatique Nov 2014 #57

How did they know he was twelve? hughee99 Nov 2014 #60

What I was actually suggesting was, hughee99 Nov 2014 #59

Let's assume they couldnt tell, if it was a 12 year old white boy, would they have instantly shot NoJusticeNoPeace Nov 2014 #61

I don't think it had anything to do with hughee99 Nov 2014 #63

And the decision to shoot so quickly was in large part due to the skin color of the suspect NoJusticeNoPeace Nov 2014 #64

Based on experience, I think they would have jmowreader Nov 2014 #65

Reaching for your wallet, reaching for your license, and raising your hands are all acts of violence kelliekat44 Nov 2014 #10

YES noiretextatique Nov 2014 #14

i've asked the two DUers who posted about how real the toy gun looks noiretextatique Nov 2014 #29
