Tamir Rice's father should be absolutely ashamed of himself for not teaching his son that playing with guns (which have been doctored to look real) in public and not listening to policemen with real weapons will get you killed. I realize that his father, Leonard Warner, has a criminal history, but that should only make him more ashamed that he hadn't taught his son simple survival skills, and what a mistake it is to play chicken with the cops.
Someone should do a quick anecdotal study about how many of these kids involved in these high-profile shootings (Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, etc.) have the same last name as their father and mother. It seems like they all come from broken homes, which would seem to be a much stronger indicator than race.

I am NOT on the side of the cops on this one-
They shot him out their car window seconds after driving up 4 feet away from him, on the grass, while he was sitting on a park table.
Why were they driving on the lawn to get to him?
If they thought he had a gun, wouldn’t it be better AND SAFER to park 50 feet away, shine the light on him, and assess the situation?
They had to have their guns out and the window open as they pulled up- this does NOT sound like good police procedure: “Hey there’s some guy- I think he’s got a gun- pull up next to him so I can see”
If you look at the video- the car pulls up- the kid stands up, and seconds later he is on the ground dead.
It was only the "highly-trained" cops that started blasting away before they could figure out what was going on.
Funny how these guys disappear so fast.
