"Tamir, who was formally identified by officials on Sunday afternoon, was spotted 'waving around' the airsoft gun at a playground next to the Ohio recreation center at 3.30pm last Saturday. A concerned man, who was sitting nearby, called 911 and told the dispatcher: 'I’m sitting in the park…there’s a guy here with a pistol, and it’s probably a fake one, but he’s pointing it at everybody.
Minutes later, two Cleveland Police officers - a rookie and a 10-15 year veteran - arrived at the scene. The rookie then asked the boy to put his hands up, at which point the youngster reached into his waistband and pulled out the pistol.
Despite the 911 caller's prior warning that the gun was likely fake, the officer then fired two shots at Tamir, at least one of which hit him in the stomach, according to Cleveland.com. Police later told Fox 8 the weapon Tamir was carrying was 'an airsoft type replica gun resembling a semi-automatic pistol.' They added that the gun's orange safety indicator had been removed."

Cops would often end up dead if they took the risk of assuming that a gun being drawn on them was fake
Don't believe everything you trad.
ReplyDeleteNews reported the cop told him to put his hands up and drop the gun which was under his belt.
Hard to drop a gun with hands in the air and a gun under your belt.
The kid reached for it and was shot.
News meeting this afternoon (there is video), but will the cops release it?

Here are two of many 1911 style copper-coated steel BB firing pistols. They are all black in color, even the grips.
ReplyDeleteSomeone screwed-up. These are NOT Air Soft toy guns!
No orange tip. Can't remove an orange tip that isn't there.
You can tell by the wear on the packaging that these are not new items, may have been sold used or in a secondary market ie: eBay, flea market, yard sale, etc.
I've also included two photos of the weapon in question that the now dead 12 year old carried, the black ammo magazine sits on the top back half of the pistol.
