The city of Cleveland will pay $6 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the relatives of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy shot and killed by a police officer in 2014, according to a settlement announced Monday.
Under the terms of the agreement, which still has to be approved by a probate court, the city will pay $3 million this year and $3 million next year to settle the lawsuit. The bulk of the money will be paid to Rice’s estate.
“Although historic in financial terms, no amount of money can adequately compensate for the loss of a life,” attorneys for Rice’s family said in a statement. “Tamir was 12 years old when he was shot and killed by police — a young boy with his entire life ahead of him, full of potential and promise. In a situation such as this, there is no such thing as closure or justice. Nothing will bring Tamir back.”

>there are people who will defend the cop that shot Tamir Rice
Stop /pol/
>inb4 DA COP WUZ WURRIED ABOOT HIS LYFE
Fuck off, he didn't attempt to shoot anyone else before the cop got there, and the kid was small was fuck, what dumbass would believe this child would have a weapon to kill people with him?
Also, isn't there a procedure where you're supposed to say "PUT THE GUN DOWN" BEFORE you shoot?
Cops should take their life as a risk when they put the badge on desu. Its like going to war. There's a chance you'll get hurt in duty. Your main goal should be to protect the people and not yourself. If it was a violent nigger with knife running at the cop then shooting them is protecting the peoole. But not a child with an airsoft.

Blacks are horrible with money. When I was in high school I worked at mcdondalds, a poor black kid in my town got a job there, after a few paychecks he showed up to work in a Versace belt and a Michael kors watch
The family will easily blow through that money

>>72046374
>what dumbass would believe this child would have a weapon to kill people with him?
The one who called the cops
The cops
He made the appearance that he had a deadly weapon
I grew up being told that if I played with my toy guns with the orange cap removed in public I'd be shot by police, deservedly so
>>72047216
No crime, he just won a darwin award
>>72047324
that was the gun he had?
it looks like a real fucking gun god damn.
we need to make it illegal to remove the orange cap on toy guns honestly.
Must be nice for the family, winning that nigger lottery. Fucking pieces of shit can't follow the law then get rewarded for it. This country is so fucked.
>>72047482
No that's just a random nigglet with a gun
>what dumbass would believe this child would have a weapon to kill people with him?
>>72047533
At least you know they will likely blow it all and be poor niggers again soon
>>72047415
On the video of the shooting, you see the kid doing nothing. The police car arrives on the scene, pulls over, a cop comes out, 5 sec later the kid is shot dead.
If the cop was afraid of a 12 years who was 1m50 at most, he had nothing to do with a uniform on his shoulders.
Stop recruiting the dumbest of your citizen in your police forces America.

Very tall black boy that pointed realistic looking gun-replica at everyone in the park, and eventually at the police that came to tell him to drop it.

Nice try fatty, you don't even know what's going on
Ok thats fine the cop is a faggot and that lil nigga didnt deserve to die, but why the money in this cases? As they said "Nothing will bring him back" , so why do they want 6 mil? I could understand if it was the cop paying, but aren't thlse money coming from the state? Through your taxes or stuff like that? Explain to me ameribros

Well, I guess that's 6 million in economic stimulus as they blow it all on consumer goods like TV's and fancy housing in the first week.
Although I'd imagine it'd be more like 2 million in consumer spending, 2 million go to the lawyers and 2 million more go into the shadow economy via illegal drugs and guns.
Thanks, Cleveland taxpayers!

The kid was clearly pulling out the gun and pointing it at the police. This is why there was no trial. And wasn't that kid like 6 ft tall?

Even if you're not told that directly, everyone's seen a toy gun, been disappointed that it had the Orange tip, but understood why with a couple seconds of thought.
In an area as infested with illegal handguns as your average American ghetto, those couple seconds of introspection are all the more important. Shit, that kid was probably directly imitating an older kid flashing his piece around and thought he looked cool.
It was more than possible that the gun could have been real.
>>72048311
>>72048381

They pulled up right next to him, if that isn't risking it you're as autistic as the cop who thought that was a good idea.

Cops don't have to put their lives on the line just to see if some niglet might not have a real gun
>>72048477
ok the gun did look real I will give you that, but it was a drive-by, they drove up, lowered the window and shot him
Oh shit, meant >>72048696 for >>72048333
>>72048491
That's even worse than, "I was only pretending to be retarded".
>>72048639
They already ruled it a justified shooting. This was a settlement in lieu of a civil trial; the family sued and agreed they'd rather take 6mil than take it to court.
Okay, I meant >>72048696 for >>72048335

No, if you drive by and shoot it's literally a drove by, doesn't matter if you drive away
>(of a shooting or other act) carried out from a passing vehicle.
They were passing and shot
>>72048742
And? He was pointing what could have been a gun at people.
The cops did nothing wrong.
They did exactly what they were rightfully trained to do
>>72049019
>>72048950
>trying this hard
>>72049066
I don't think you understand what "passing" means. They rolled up, stopped the car, fired and then exited the vehicle.

There is a slight distinction between being legally justified and doing nothing wrong. Approaching the situation so recklessly was a mistake in this specific, very rare situation.

even if you are not charged/indicted, or if you are cleared of criminal charges, you can be sued in civil court for damages, cop or not.

i almost want to agree, but no. that's actually their job; they are trained to be inquisitive at all times in public spaces. it's also their job to lie, and it is not their job to know the law too well, just to know what misdemeanors and crimes typically look like.

What else do they do then? Wait for backup while this guy is threatening people with what looks (and is statistically likely) to be a real gun? This is why patrol cars exist in the first place.
>>72045963
i just looked it up and the crime that tamir rice committed is called "aggravated menacing."
http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2903.21
>If the victim of the offense is an officer ... and the offense relates to the officer's ... performance or anticipated performance of official responsibilities or duties, aggravated menacing is a felony of the fifth degree ...
in texas he would be cuffed after being shot until stopped. the family would receive nothing, and would get no day in court, much less a settlement.

No man. There is no appeasing these fucking BLM fanatics. They will always want MORE. This is just like trying to appease the Muslims in the hope they won't blow us up, its suicidal. All this does is embolden them, its a signal saying "coercion works, keep threatening to riot and you get your way".

You can't protect the people if you're dead, ya know. You never take a chance and just assume it's a toy even if it's an airsoft gun with an orange tip. And it's not like "war", less than 1% of police encounters involve using force of any kind.

Was the guy who called 911 a day drinking black man?
I swear I saw an interview of his on cleveland.com but it is not there anymore, they completely scrubbed it, no where else is his name or race mentioned. its redacted on all official reports.
anything mentioning him only refers to him as the 911 caller
help me bros, I was arguing with someone today that a black guy narced out Rice to the police but I can't find the evidence anymore.
