Tamir Rice

Although, this may have happened years ago this little boy has failed to receive justice. Tamir, 12 years old, was in the park playing with a toy gun. The officer was called by a neighbor and they assumed it was real. Loehmann , the officer, just arrived to the scene and fired without really checking out the situation. Some may say he shouldn't have it in the first place, that's not true. As a child you are allowed to explore your imagination and if that includes a fake gun than so be it. We shouldn't be judge on how to express your imagination. The officer was completely wrong because as a citizens to work for the government you taught how to handle every problem the safest way. There is no way in the world he took that boy as a threat because the way our minds are setup it impact how we take a threat.
