Okay you have lost me...first your point was about perpeuating a lie now it is about cop bad criminal made a mistake? I know the whole turth about the situation we are discussing at hand right now. This CHILD was playing alone in a park by himself with a toy gun that looked real. He was walking up to people acting like he was going to shoot them and pretty much just being a child. Guess what kids do that...has nothing to do with pretending to be a thug or even looking up to them at all. Not saying it is good for a child to do that but they do. No one was hurt, no shots were fired the only thing the cops had was that the gun LOOKED real from a distance.

I don't know if the cops felt miserable or not. They sure didn't go out of their way to let it be known that they did. But as a human i would want to think that they did. Even though drawing guns on a lone child because he as what appears to be gun is still beyond me. There have been plenty of instances where cops have told someone to put a gun down and they did not comply without being killed. So no I am not in agreement that they should have fired and no I can't say that I would have fired becuase it doesn't make sense to just unload on a child from a distance at all.

And lastly...you can't be serious so you are really telling me that you feel it would no thave made the news if a white child playing with a toy gun was gunned down by black cops? And you are sure it has happened plenty of times? I literally have no words for that because I am at a loss as to how you could even say that with a straight face.

My first point remains.  The halftruth, which is also a lie.  You go around talking about a kid playing with a gun, without giving the whole picture.  I pretty much forced you to write the whole details.  But, in your normal, everyday life, when you talk about it, do you give the details?  Highly doubt it.  It remains a kid playing with a toy and getting shot.  One that looked real unless you were right next to it.  One that had the tip removed because the kid wanted it to look more real.  He got his wish.

And why would the cops have to come out and say they felt miserable?  Not like BLM would have believed them.  Probably would have made them even angrier.  It has more to do with the kid's actions as to why he was shot, not that he was holding a gun.  If he wasn't standing in the same area with the purpose of threatening to "shoot" people that were walking by.  If he had just dropped the weapon, instead of walking with it in both hands towards the cops.  And sorry, that is not playing.  He was being a bully, backing it up with a gun.  He was not frolicking around or hiding in bushes, just trying to scare people or play cowboys.  He was bullying them.  Waiting around the same spot for more people to come by, so he could pull his gun out on them.  And if that is play to him, or you, there is something wrong.

And yes, I can say that that is the case with a straight face.  Since THIS didn't become a HUGE national story that we are still feeling the affects of.  Reason it wasn't?  Doesn't fit the narrative or help push it.  Now, imagine if that was a 6 yr old black kid and two white cops.  Yea, you know damn well we'd still be reeling from that.

Where is the half truth lol. Because I didn't say it looked like a real gun it makes it a half truth? How explain that to me? Whenever this discussion is brought up ALL the facts are always talked about which is this child was playing in the park by himself with a toy gun that looked real. Going up to random people acting like he shot them. Those are the facts....guess what else is a fact he died because of a trigger happy cop. Not because he was as you said "acting like a thug"  as you put it. I have to ask do you have kids? Because 99% of kids play around like they are shooting stuff and people all the time. The child may not have fully understood the situation with the cops and kept playing in his mind. So that means death? No my friend thatis not acceptable.

Well if you shot a child who you thought had a gun would you not come out and say you felt miserable? Isn't that the human thing to do if that is how you feel? And it is funny how you assume the BLM movement would not have believed them...part of the outrage was because of the lack of remorse from what happened.

Did you read that story? This man allegedly(not sure if that part is true) tried to hit the officers with his car and they opened fire and were even assumed to have a grudge against the man. Those officers were ARRESTED AND CHARGED with murder....did any of that with Tamir Rice or the most recent two shootings? Did the chilld shoot at the officers with the toy gun and justify the killing? Were they arrested and charged with murder? It is funny how you say people only see half truths but pulled up a video that goes against what you were saying because it showed the opposite of what has been happening when blacks are killed by white cops. They get off with a slap on the wrist and get to go home to their families. These officers were charged and arrested. You can't see the difference here? That's the argument that has been being made.
