12-year-old boy shot by Cleveland police has died

78. I concede, if video backs it up. Too much police cover-up tainted an officer's trust.

I've seen police embellish in traffic court. I've seen falsehoods in police reports over the past decades, especially dealing with shootings--there is a huge incentive to criminalize the victim in order to justify a 'clean shoot.'

Your assumptions that this was a 'clean shoot,' and the kid screwed up, shows an omniscient narrator.

Now, we all know you don't have the facts, so you are criminalizing the kid.

I like how you raise the whole 'waving a gun around' by the 911 caller and you've left out the part where the caller said that the gun didn't look real!

You're really working at spinning this incident in favor of the police.

I want to see all of the facts and I'm not taking the kid's side, or the police officers.

I'm just not giving the police the benefit of the doubt, that's a benefit they've abused.
