With the video showing him pointing that pistol in peoples faces unlikely that any CHL holder in Ohio that shot that kid would not see an indictment. It is beyond a doubt that they would never see a conviction or even a trial. Most of the Common Pleas judges would throw it out.

Too much evidence, video evidence, of menacing. A pistol like that pointed at people, in some instances, directly in their face, is more than enough evidence to keep a person out of court, certainly out of prison.

As for the dispatcher, we do not know what the procedures for them are. Telling police officers that a weapon may be a toy, could put the officers at greater risk. Not much to go on with the dispatcher. Criminal negligence is way over the top. Possible discipline hearing and suspension.

Please provide ONE image link from the surveillance video showing Tamir “pointing the pistol in peoples faces.”

Please provide one 911 call audio of a complaint indicating that Tamir “pointed the pistol in [my] face.”

If it exists, you should be able to find it easily enough.

(Hint: You can’t. It doesn’t exist. You are making up a story that isn’t entirely true. He raises the pistol and points it at stuff off camera. In *one* instance, he *may* point it at a passerby, but the video is VERY unclear, and the passerby does not run off but instead calmly walks on, indicating that, if Tamir did point the pistol at the person, they did not seem particularly alarmed.)

There is plenty of video out there. Surely you can provide a screen cap to bolster your (completely fabricated) claim that Tamir was “pointing it in peoples faces.”

The guy making the phone call is sitting in a gazebo just YARDS away. He’s not running off because of the eminent threat. He’s calmly sitting there telling the 911 dispatcher that it is probably a fake gun.

Yeah - Tamir was a REAL terror to the people on the ground.

You’re making sh!t up to justify shooting kids playing with fake guns - something most of us older guys did all the time when we were younger. Hell, maybe you are a hoplophobe yourself. You see someone with a gun, fake gun, or gun-shaped object and your first impression is, “Eek! I’d better shoot first!”
