'Threat': Rather than raising his hands, he puts one of his hands at his waistband
What was in his waistband? I call that challenging the police after
""being told to raise his hands""!
Good grief, lets not start ignoring what happened to make predetermined points.
No one is ignoring what happened. We can see what happened on the video released by the police: They pulled up and shot him.
As for reaching into his waistband, no one knows what was going through his mind in that split second. He was only 12. Maybe he was going to show them that it was a BB gun.
They should’ve watched from a distance first. It would’ve been obvious that a young boy was just walking around playing with something that he considered to be a toy.
