The Polack MSgt

(13,822 posts) Mon Dec 28, 2015, 05:06 PM Dec 2015

Tamir's death is justified [View all]

Because "All Lives Matter" except when it's a black child.

So disgusted right now.

So the cops thought Tamir was a grown man. They thought it was a real pistol.

So what?

In an open carry state, how does that justify immediately shooting him?

How does it excuse standing and watching him bleed in the dirt without attending to his wounds?
