Can you imagine a group of black guys with red bandannas walking around with assault riffles? Every cop in the state would be surrounding them in 2 minutes.
what trips me out the most is that everyone who defends the cops who shot Tamir Rice always say well the 911 caller said rice was pointing the gun at people, but never seem to remember that same caller also said he though the gun was fake.
+Jesus-Pierre-Miguel Salgado III It's not worthless when someone is executed likely due to that omission. The 9-11 caller repeatedly emphasized it looked fake and like a toy, just because someone isn't an expect doesn't mean that the omission of that opinion did not change the tactics and decisions the officers made. If the dispatcher relayed that you were speeding down the highway with a woman screaming in the rear without telling the police your wife was in labor, it makes a difference. Their actions were most likely very much impacted by that omission. Would they have pulled their weapons instantly? maybe. Would they have possibly questioned the young man about the weapon before opening fire? I would bet they would have.
+Harizl yeah right Live in two different worlds... It happen may the way it was intended to happen... Just the truth... When your black your guilty until proven innocent
Tamir Rice didn't have a chance nor the time to drop the toy gun. The cops started shooting him as soon they got out the car. I watched this video and others in slow motion. There wasn't even enough time to say "Drop it or we will shoot. " The family deserves every penny from the City of Cleveland in that $6 million settlement. This was murder.
Im a black man and watchin the vids and seeing sime of these comments burn me to my core! It really hurts to think that there are people that believe because im black i have no right to defend or protect myself and my family. Im wishing there was a place we could go where we would just be safe to walk home, or down the sidewalk without having hatred pull up in a cruiser and murder us based on what we look like. Who's really more tribal and animalistic here. To kill without remorse is something that makes these cops and some of you people commenting this hate inhuman and incapable of really loving and caring for anyone but yourself let alone a child who looks different. You
This is a progressive-liberal channel but why are most of the comments here are right-wing trolls? Got nothing better to do with your lives eh? No wonder..
+Staint12 Do you really want to watch fox news while listening to rush limbah on the way to vote for trump? I get why they come here. I will not go there.
tallblackman32 tbm you are absolutely right I hate to admit it but I likely would have been doubtful accept you do see these white gun toting bubbas all over the place like it's the zombie apocalypse and nobody bats an eye but any black person with even a fake gun and they suddenly are a threat.
They belong in jail.. if they were startled and “had to react to defend their lives” due to having been in that situation where pulling a gun and shooting was required to defend their life, it was their own fault for pulling right up to him, instead of on the road, giving them no time to react - they should be charged with murder and serve the amount of time people get for shooting cops because THEY KILLED A KID FOR NO REASON!! This is the most ridiculous video I have ever seen and the prosecutor deserves jail time also!
You take the good with the bad..... I know your child brain cant understand it but if I make 50k a year, I'm not risking dying because some guy decided to make a dumb decision... Whether the criminals are 15 or 45 years old... We literally cant hold police to a life or death situation because they're making (basically) minimum money to protect our/their lives. I could understand if they were taking NBA contracts and "my personal family is at risk" .... If not, I'm just going to give them the benefit of the doubt because they NEED to make it home to their kids safe
To them, it made them money and gave them a laugh afterwards seeing the hard struggle of people trying to take them out of the system when they'll have immunity. It's a psychopath's dream to be a police officer.
People like to talk about him aiming the toy gun at people inside a park was there proof he did...most people exaggerate a situation for cops can take their call seriously and arrive sooner. Anyway what happen to cease drop your weapon before shooting at person. Its appears these offices already had their mind made up before departing from their vehicle.....period!!!
maybe black people should start open carrying on mass as a protest... that would be funny.... all of a sudden open carry laws would start dropping like flies.
yes i know... frankly it may be time for a return so long as they keep to just doing the same as the other open carry groups. It may be worth reminding people that the second amendment applies to black people too... i mean what is the NRA going to do? It would be hilarious... Incidentally i recall that the NRA started up around the time the the KKK got banned as a terrorist organization (though the newer iterations obviously are not classed that way though that may need a revision as things are going if you ask me :p)
Its an open gun state, that means you can have weapons, shooting someone who's allowed to carry guns in less than the time it takes to assess anything but color of skin... that says a lot
For all anyone knows that young 12 year old kid could have been pretending to be a soldier in the u.s. Marines defending his country against foreign aggression or domestic. We of course will never know.
+cujomade101 dude. have qyou seen Canadian walmarts? they're fantastic. clean, stock full of European chocolates, and above all, free of three breastfed men in stripper heels full of goldfish
Are we forgetting it was a toy gun, and on top of that the boy dropped it. After it was dropped was the boy still a threat? This would have been the tipping point for me as the father. No court of law could and would contain me. These cops would not be able to walk around while my child is in a casket. That's how you show Black lives matter.
Demarquez Ballenger, I don't hate cops just criminals. Some criminals wear badges. It's okay with this current administration for whites to hate People and commit acts of straight up terrorism against other people just for being different but when non whites have ligitament anger it's criminal or extreme. Sounds like your indoctrinated. Looks like the programming is successful
The "A time to kill" approach will make everyone think of you as a terrorist. I don't know that I could let someone live after murdering my little sister and getting away with it either though.
@@Bdpjev the problem I find is that they defend the ones in the wrong. They promote that this is okay behavior, continue it in your normal approach in the field. America PROMOTES gun violence by defending the cops that shoot to kill on sight.
You take the good with the bad..... I know your child brain cant understand it but if I make 50k a year, I'm not risking dying because some guy decided to make a dumb decision...

On paper. No jury in the country will let a cop killer off. It doesn't matter if there is a video of the cop lining five people up against a wall and putting a bullet in the heads of the first four before the fifth guy gets him, the fifth guy is going to prison and the cop will be buried with honors.
+Rodney Traylor As a black man in America i think his blacks cant carry assumption is bullshit. There's a difference between carrying and brandishing. He is also pulling shit out of his ass when he talks about the 2nd amendment and militias being there to suppress blacks. During the civil rights movement the 2nd amendment was a huge benefit, look up the Deacons for Defense. Also it may surprise you to know that the NRA was founded with the express purpose of arming freed blacks and teaching northerners how to shoot, and they opposed the first gun control laws which were proposed in part to disarm blacks. That said shooting that kid was indefensible, but rather than blaming racism, I blame the shoot first curriculum that's used to teach cops today. I've had run ins with black cops and white cops, and i don't see a difference in how they act. The problem is that the police no longer have any idea how to deescalate a situation.
davy duck, no that kid did not. That kid did not have time to point anything. If you look closely, that kid did not have time to do anything or think how to respond. And you call someone a dumb.
davy duck, Seriously you didn't know any kids that plays or played cops and robbers? With and without you guns. The police did not get a call about an active shooter. But a guy with a gun. This kid died because police did not follow protocol. If this was an active shooter situation the driver would have got his partner killed. I do not understand people who blame the kid for adult mistakes.
Black people are being hunted but we dont fight back we just wave signs an burn are own neighborhoods but wont go fight the hunters but will Do as drive by in a second but when the hunters get there they put there hands up an go with no problems my people are weak an it hurts my heart
I'm black and you sound like a race war baiter, you're feeding right into yt Amerikkka's hands, there looking for an excuse to exterminate and here you are with your mouth open trying to give them one. I don't see you and your gun leading no issue. Just a parking lot Warrior.
+Ralph Cobbs Well since the NRA represent actual guns to be sold only they really don't give two craps about toys that they're not selling. Unless they also manufacture toy guns in which case they're just fucked up.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in those clips he showed the person who was shot was holding the gun in their hands, not in a holster. Even if a state has open carry you can't go around HOLDING the gun or pointing it at people unless there is a threat to you or someone else.
Brad, you're an obvious bigot whether you realize it or not honey. Shame on you for your comments when you know that what you just said is a load of bullshit. Everything is black and white to white people because its not a problem they face every day. (I'm assuming you're white) but you will probably lie and say you're black, it would not shock me if you tried, just to win the argument. But if it was you! Brad, holding that toy gun in that store as a white man, then you! wouldn't have faced a single problem with those cops. DO YOU GET IT NOW? Shame on you! Shame!
sammy, I am not defending the cops who shot those people, I am simply pointing out the inaccuracy when tyt says those people would have been obeying the open carry laws even if it had been a real gun. Btw I'm white...I guess my opinion doesn't matter now does it?
Brad Thomson he picked up the toy gun from the store every statment you make can easily be countered it sounds like you justifying the actions of the police officers
Back in 2007 was in Cleveland area for about 6 months to train a group of new hires. Several people gave warnings about black people and how dangerous the streets were... there was nothing open after 11pm. There wasn't anyone dangerous. Just burnt out rust belt, with a freeway system built for a few millions, with apparently at that time the traffic volume of my city Boise Idaho... population 250K. I was surprised a north eastern state/city was perhaps even more racist than a southern state... I spent time in Richmond VA and Chattanooga TN doing the same thing, training new hires. Racism is everywhere. Idaho its mostly against Hispanics and Natives. I only notice it when others confide in my blonde blue eyes. And I usually give them the WTF look when they do. We have serious issues. I hate this country. Isn't it ironic I wish I could go to my paternal ancestors origin, back to Germany? I liked Germany a lot. But they're getting swamped by refugees, they have more priority that myself... but if they weren't having mass migration issues, I so would be strongly considering of leaving to there... or Canada.
yeah I'm a white guy living in Texas, but I'm also Jewish. I have random people who make offensive comments about jews & when I say I'm jewish they ask, "why didn't you tell me sooner?" LOL racists.
Please tell me they didn't get away with this. I was actually thinking of going the local police department. But if cops really do get away with these kinds of things...i don't think I'd want to stand with people like that
Jose Campos Who sounds sick, the person who is so paranoid that they stockpile weapons and can't go shopping without carrying a gun or the person that fears that person? Men like you have convinced yourselves that there is an eminent race war or the goverment is coming to take away your liberty or some other empending irrational fate. I'll start stockpiling weapons when men like you take over my country. Which is sadly coming closer to reality.
Papi Grande If you're speaking of the young man that was shot and killed in the store, he actually picked the "toy gun" up from the toy isle, for his kid(s) while shopping in that same story.
If the state of Ohio was an open state carry then the police should have approached these situations different. Never ever pull up on an armed person you keep your distance and give commands and keep cover behind your vehicle. You can talk all of the shit you like about me. I was a use of force instructor so I know what I am talking about.
He wasn't breaking the law. Even if it is an open carry state, he was "brandishing" if it was real gun but it was not a real gun. Tamir's death is still the police's fault. My friends and I had a big debate about this early.
Mark Reilly because the case was thrown? How is it this 12 year old kid was shot in less than a minute but the old ass white dude who shot up planned parenthood was allowed to surrender? Ill wait.
James Dagnan Well maybe because this kid reached into his belt for a gun. I'll bet any amount of money you would not be able to tell the difference between a BB handgun an a real handgun within a 2 second time frame.
+MurderCrowAwdio Who knows? I only hear from people that overtly racist on the internet, I don't have them in my life. But yes, probably. But, there is clearly something very wrong with the way the police are being trained in the last couple of years or so, and it is happening all over the nation.
+Don Nots Screw the comment you adressed question....did this officer make a mistake by disregarding the open carry law in OH? It resulted in a shooting that took a life.
+Manny Macfly yep you are spot on sir this is pure lies. he says a 12 y/o can carry a pistol .no a 12 year old can not open carry in any state. so he just flat out lies. oh yes we all see people with assault rifles everywhere this guy makes me sooooooo sick he wants to start a race war and turn the clock back 175 years just so he has stuff to talk about and make a buck.
Marie Miller the 2nd example he made with the walmart shooting... He was swatted by an anti-gun liberal and setup to be shot and killed. The swatter was never charged.
+rockethead555 It is a valid point. They show pictures of white people carrying guns in public and say, "What about this person? What about this person? What about this person? Why didn't the police gun this person down?" Well, they all had their weapons properly holstered. Open carry doesn't mean that you get to have your weapon in your hand at the ready at all times. Even open carry states have laws regulating when the weapon can be unholstered and brandished, and failing to acknowledge that is either ignorant or deliberately misleading.
+rockethead555 First, all of that is immaterial to the point that was being made in this specific comment thread. The point of this specific thread was that Cenk points to examples of white people that are open carrying with their weapons properly holstered and then tries to equate that with black people that have their weapons (which turn out not to be real) brandished in their hands. Open carry laws generally do NOT allow you to brandish your weapon in public. It must be properly holstered. So pointing to open carry laws in these cases is either ignorant or misleading. Based on Cenk's previous videos, I'm going to lean towards misleading.Second, I agree with what you are saying in principal and I think both of the incidents that are discussed here were handled terribly by the police; however, I completely disagree with the notion that there is no reason for the police to fire upon an individual that has not fired his weapon. Expecting the police to wait until they are fired upon to return fire is completely unreasonable. If a person has a weapon in hand and is behaving in a threatening manner, then I have no problem with the police gunning that person down. The problem that I have with both of these cases is that the person that was gunned down never had any opportunity to put their weapon down. The police ambushed them and fired on them before they had an opportunity to really even know what was going on.
+rockethead555 I'm not defending the police in either of those incidents. In fact, I have been very critical of the police in both instances. This video, however, was about how white people can open carry but if black people open carry then they get gunned down. That argument is ridiculous. Or at least the way the argument was presented was ridiculous because the white people that are used as examples have their weapons holstered in a legal manner whereas the black people that are used as examples have their weapons brandished in an illegal manner. Now it turns out that neither of those weapons were real, but the point remains. Open carry laws had nothing to do with either of those incidents because open carry laws do not allow you to brandish your weapon. You can say that your point has nothing to do with race, but the whole point of this video was that white people can open carry but black people can't, and that is a ridiculous argument.
cops didn't see him waving it. also a white doctor was waving an assault rifle in a Texas airport...not shot. white guy waving a gun after running over black lives matter protestors with his car...not shot. nice try though
+gamebred26 yes but the black kids are, well, children. The white guys are waving around guns, while these kids are alone, and get no chance to put down their "guns."
This was tragic ass fuck...a badge should not give anyone the right to take a life. These individuals need to be prosecuted and held accountable for murder. I’ve always said that cops need rules of engagement. These rules of engagement should penalize both parties severely of either fail to follow the laws.
I did eighteen years as a police officer. As I have noticed that the target against black people is more evident. Just think of it like this operant conditioning is what the cops are trained for. They use targets of armed black men on the firing range and during simulator training. I think carrying an open weapon as a black man is a bad idea. Even for me I think the concealed weapons carry is not for black people. For myself I applied for a concealed weapon permit. The police are trained through operant conditioning. Check it out
Silverback Powerlifting if you were a professional officer (18 years) your comments are naive at best or just straight f***** up. African Americans should have SEAL weapons permit if they choose and all should own a gun. You were definitely part of the problem during those years because you could have demand change and stepped up. You're pathetic.
Silverback Powerlifting i hope 1 day they take there oath serious before this world comes to a end! Always remember it is your right to open carry in the U.S.A
Silverback Powerlifting the indefinite reason of racism is that people talk about it they beat a dead horse when I look at a African American I see a human being if I see a Latino I see a human if I see a Asian I see a human being If I see a white person I see a human being if I see middle eastern person I see a human being if I see a native American i see a human being. I have no hatred against people of color I see them as another person nothing more that's our issue we've based our opinions on different races of people by bull shit stereotypes, dark times of history, incarceration ratios between races, and false knowledge.
I've been saying this for months. Where are the Second Amendment devotees on this case? How is it that they are silent in the instance of someone being shot merely for carrying a gun?
+redvenomweb that's a risk you take if you open carry. especially when shit hits the fan, there's a GIANT target on your back. i have a concealed weapon permit and stay armed 24/7, i'm VERY careful not to expose my g19 in public to avoid situations like these. it's really that simple.
I was 15 looking like I was 12. 2 detectives rode up on me walking from the store in my neighborhood. With grocery bags in my hand about 12 in the afternoon. They pulled up, questioned me and was smoking at me like it was funny. That's when I 1st felt like something was wrong. When I got older I was arrested for a bag of weed found in my cousin suitcase. He wrote 2 different affidavits saying it was his and the DA threw them out. I was under a unheard of $100,000 bond for about $300 of drugs, on a 1st offense. There were Rapist, attempted Murderers, people with domestic violence who bail was lower or somewhere around mine. Even the white CO said that I was profiled by the state toopers and my arrest didn't make any sense let along my bail.
There's a huge difference between carrying a weapon and brandishing it. From the 911 call: "He's pulling (the gun) in and out of his pants and pointing it at people." Though the caller also said the gun was "probably fake," this was never communicated to the officers.
Freshtex Blackman Oh, I'm not going to attempt to defend the officer's actions. I just take objection at Cenk's attempting to use this story as proof of racial profiling in regards to open carry laws. When you point a weapon at people, legally, you're not just carrying it anymore.
+Idiodyssey87 Even if that is what the caller said, the cops are still responsible for investigating before killing a kid. The cops didn't see him pointing it, and when they rolled up, he wasn't pointing it at anyone, so there is no reason for them to react the way they did.
Cenk, as always, you are on point. I can't tell you how many of my FB friends lost their minds over: 1) Michael Brown being a "thug" (what he allegedly did in that store, roughing up the owner, was wrong, but did it call for the death penalty, without benefit of a trial and conviction?); 2) Trayvon Martin being a "thug" (because of the way he dressed and having smoked marijuana... again, not death penalty); 3) any black person shot or killed by police who should have "just followed orders." Some of the comments make me seriously wonder how they perceive ME... Are they really that quick to dehumanize black people? Yes.
I really would like to see more law abiding black people armed. I think that would solve a lot of problems, but this is one reason I think black people don't want to arm themselves. It is literally life threatening for black people to do open carry protest walks in the street.
People are saying there should be more training for the police departments to handle situations like this. But I say these police officers need to be charged with the same crimes as the citizens of the United States who isn't wearing badges. There supposed to be here to protect and serve, not to be bully's with a badge.
That was an assassination! Assassins would stop next to him open the door shoot him 2-3 times before even setting both of their feet on the ground. Oh, right, the cops did just that!
If a jury believes that there is a reasonable doubt that a police officer is not lying when he says "I feared for my life", then he will not be convicted. It seems that the law needs to be changed somehow.
These two kids were shot on sight, when they were completely alone, posing absolutely no threat to anyone or the officers who ran up on them out of the blue. They got false reports, did not bother to ascertain the situation,. it simply jumped out of the car or turned the corner and opened fire. There is absolutely no excuse for that. The full videos are available and those criticizing TYT for this report are willfully blind. The comments here sadden me to my core. Whether or not they had the toy guns in their hands is beside the point. They did nothing illegal and the officers made absolutely no attempts to investigate the situation. It is a reckless at the very least and if you cannot see the racial component of these killings it is simply because you do not want to.
I was in tune with everything you said till got to the racial part I believe they just wanted to kill someone not because of their color I could be wrong but I doubt it
There was a game we played as kids that we called "Guns." We took it very seriously. We had a massive arsenal of toy pistols, shotguns, rifles and machine guns that we hid from our parents because we broke the orange tips off or painted to look more real. Looking back, it had to seem pretty shady, a bunch of boys sneaking around the neighborhood with authentic looking automatic weapons waiting for the opportunity to "POP! POP! POP!" each other. If you think for a second that back then in my white, suburban neighborhood, that a cop would have rolled up on us, despite what we were doing, and gunned us down in 2 seconds flat then you're kidding yourself. If you think that's reasonable then investigating this case further won't help you, you're already too far gone. If you're a real human, on the other hand, then it is your duty to act and speak out against #nojustice for Tamir Rice.
+NotEvenJail I did the same with my brother and friends when I was a kid. A cop lived across the street from us. All the boys had toy guns and ran around pretending to shoot each other with them all the time. No cop was stupid enough to think we were a danger to anyone.
You are very smart and right and most of us living in amerikkka needs to start establishing themselves outside of this evil, stop paying their taxes and buying their vain lifestyles.
1911GreaterThanALL Correct term is there is more African people in Africa to begin with versus the percentage of how many African American people you have in the USA. Africa is a Continent of various countries (almost 1 billion people) or should I bunch the statistics of the USA (250-300 million) with the whole of North and South America? Is it safer than being in the USA where 500+/- people on average are killed in Los Angeles of all places. How about Detroit? I travel around and I felt less safe in the USA than anywhere in the world, so I took my happy hind parts and didn't let the door hit me on the way out. I prefer my life at my family estate in Africa where I fish the lake with no permits and can grow, herd and slaughter livestock to my heart's content, unlike the USA where it is not allowed within city limits and there are various restrictions to the animals you can keep. If I want snow, I just go to Russia, the EU, Australia and New Zealand and drink with the locals and BBQ as much as possible. p.s. I eat lunch with cops at local dives in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Pskov and Perm: never once has anyone asked for ID, searched or gave me any hassles. Carry yourself with dignity and honor and it is reciprocated. Sadly, I get irritated with the various nonsense that "The so called Land of the Free is but a mirage of twisted democracy, ridiculous healthcare and insurance gimmicks that bleeds and milks the citizens for every penny and then some, fraudulent business practices via outsourcing jobs and manufacturing to other nations to save a buck, and veterans who get treated like dirt from the VA after their military service ends." And most importantly have you ever traveled the world and saw what happens with your own eyes versus the stuff on the internet or shady news channels? If you haven't, how can you believe you are a Champion in a sport if you never faced anyone? My point being just because someone tells you something doesn't make it right or a fact as true as Gospel and that's a fact.
You don’t reach for anything when approached by police officers which is what Tamir Rice did and the police had no knowledge that the gun was fake. All they received was that a juvenile was waving a “gun” at people.
@@mrrequenes6222 So you mean to tell me that the cops who perceived someone arm and dangerous pulls up right beside that person. You a fool. What this was was a cop finally getting a chance to do what he been wanting do since he joint the the police force. Probably his whole reason for joining. Couldn't wait to kill that kid that he didn't even bother to keep some distance from the so called threat. Get the hell out here with that nonsense. That's first degree murder hiding behind a badge.
"All they received was that a juvenile was waving a “gun” at people." info from Joe Public, that they didn't question. How incompetent are you as police, if you go by info from some passer-by. did you know that witnesses always give conflicting statements? that eye-witnesses are generally unreliable? these officers sure don't.
+DragonCharlz You mean the bunch of white guys pointing guns at cops and verbally threatening them? Isn't it strange how not a single shot was fired by the police. I wonder what the difference was....
Scarletpooky Exactly. I wasn't surprised that they were allowed to literally threaten government officials WHILE SOMEONE BROKE THE LAW and still get away with it. Fucking insanity.
I know this is old . But Bloody Hell. I live in Australia , I have never seen a Gun ,only on police officers . But if I was walking in shopping malls .and saw that , I would be terrified . Or think I was in a Dream and actually in a 3rd world State.
MrWisemasterful I dont advise to do that. It look like usa police is very racist. This is not something you can force upon, you need to contribute to the education of the next generation of Americans. They are the people who will change that. Im a proud human being and happen to my skin be white, but that is just a skin dont make me better or worst than a Chinese a African or any person what make me better is the actions i produce to evolve the world.
+DrunkenMadman Other than the fact that the 911 caller said that the kid was pointing a gun at random people? Other than the fact that when the police rolled up on him he immediately reached for the pistol?
DrunkenMadman And if it had been a real gun and he was able to kill a police officer? Would you weep for that officer and feel the same that you feel for that young man?
You guys in America are really messed up. I like the open carry thing, but your laws are messed up. Cop can shoot you and get away almost everytime. So you have a right to open carry, but at the same time cops have a right to shoot you down because you open carry. Really messed up laws.
+ultor europae i got no time for you, you can't even spell animal. i know your type. the sad truth is that is probably the way these racist cops see it also. i wish you well you clearly need help.
+Shauntanel Wilson don't even worry about this person sometimes we have to look at the source of where things are coming from. This person if i can call it a person is just plain racist. don't waste your time. MUCH RESPECT
+Doctor Mambo lol for no reason? pointing that gun at people and scaring them half to death...get real. and yall cant get angry and armed, your anti gun lol.
ultor europae hey racist dumb ass the word is not GENEDICS it is GENETICS. Go get some education, Please. That is your lesson for today. So far i think by now you can spell ANIMAL. I feel so sorry for you. You poor lost soul.
I'm black...and this is utterly ridiculous!! "Open Carry" here in NC (and all over) has nothing to do with the way these guys were carrying these guns. Open Carry means it's secured in a holster if a handgun or with a sling if it's a rifle....anything else is considered "brandishing" which is illegal. Please don't try to speak for all black people... Some of us are actually informed and don't need to hide behind the race card. if you believe that the shooting was unjust that's one thing but don't say it has anything to do with open carrying NOT being for black people!
First he was brandishing it then hideing it in his wasteband then pulling it out as police officers drive up to him. Those facts seem to escape most people. The kid died of stupidity.
He was pointing it at people, and pulled the gun out of his shorts when the police pulled up, so yes he was seen as a threat. When you see someone pull a gun, the last thing on your mind is to give them a warning.
+Matthew Oriti dont see a weapon being pulled out in thay clip he was shot in seconds on arrival of the police....I mean the mass church shooter got taken alive but a kid with a toy gun nah..(replies with the shooter surrendered)
He is clearly seen reaching for the gun, so there isn't much time to go over every possible option. When people are taken alive, it is because there is time to go over other options. Those are not split-second situations. This case was a split-second situation. To the officer, it was either shoot, or be shot. Trust me, I don't support when an officer wrongly kills a person. Logically speaking, the shooting of Tamir Rice, while terrible and unfortunate, is completely justified.
Maybe everyone was wrong. When does that give anyone the choice to kill.. I just can't see how these police thugs are not in jail for LIFE are giving the death penalty. I am white and sick of this racist shit
It is absolutely baffling to me that it is common for some americans to walk around with (probably loaded) firearms. I could not openly carry a hunting knife much less any weapon that requires a permit unless I'd be on some kind of police or military duty. To imagine people walking around armed is just ... insane to me. However, I am from switzerland and we are "famous" to have a lot of guns (due to manditory military service) but much, much less gun related violence. So it's rather common that a houshold does have some sort of gun stored away somewhere but ... carrying it around? Just, why? What's the point of it? So you'll be armed in the unlikely event you get mugged or attaked and your opponent can handily grab your gun to harm you? As I said, it's baffling to me XD
+kindAhumaNbeinG I'm an American and it's baffling to me too. I wouldn't try and wrap your head around it as it's a really pointless argument to make around my parts...unfortunately.
GunOwnerDan Okay, but no one actually needs guns if you're not actively in the middle of a gun fight. All those gun toting "Americans" out there carrying around their guns like their lives depend on it won't use it for protection 99.999999999999999999999999999% of the time. An opportunity where one would actually need a gun for protection is SO infinitesimally small that using that as an excuse to "need" one around you for every waking moment is childish and embarrassing. It's comparable to me wearing a full set of armor just in case someone tries to stab me, it will most likely never happen and I'll look like an idiot all the while screaming my rights to wear this armor. Any citizen that NEEDS to carry around a gun, is an idiot. Sorry.
Webster Fillmore Really? That's weird, all the black people I know haven't killed anyone, and they certainly don't brag about it. Do you actually know any black people or are you getting all these "facts" from rap music?
GunOwnerDan You should consider a trip to switzerland. We have exellent treatment opportunities for dillusional people. May they be unable to understand the transition of time (eg. that the Kings long gone), have difficulties to understand basic statistics (for instance, gun owners are more likely to hurt themselfes with their guns than protect their property or life) or if they're just generally a bit challenged by the idea that more (violence) does not mean less but more, there are people who are willing and capable to help you. I will slowly turn my back on you now carefully patting my forehead with the palm of my hand. Do not startle, it's not an aggressive gesture and I do not need to be shot in the back ;)
Can you imagine a group of black guys with red bandannas walking around with assault riffles? Every cop in the state would be surrounding them in 2 minutes.
My biggest fear is carrying a gun while I’m off duty. Ohhh yeah... I’m black
what trips me out the most is that everyone who defends the cops who shot Tamir Rice always say well the 911 caller said rice was pointing the gun at people, but never seem to remember that same caller also said he though the gun was fake.
+lola bigcups Keyword here, "though." Unless the caller was a firearm analyst, his statement is worthless.
+Jesus-Pierre-Miguel Salgado III
It's not worthless when someone is executed likely due to that omission.
The 9-11 caller repeatedly emphasized it looked fake and like a toy, just because someone isn't an expect doesn't mean that the omission of that opinion did not change the tactics and decisions the officers made.
If the dispatcher relayed that you were speeding down the highway with a woman screaming in the rear without telling the police your wife was in labor, it makes a difference.
Their actions were most likely very much impacted by that omission. Would they have pulled their weapons instantly? maybe. Would they have possibly questioned the young man about the weapon before opening fire? I would bet they would have.
+Mo Betta Gibs weather they thought it was real or not the point of this video was to say that it's legal to open carry so the cops are wrong
+Jesus-Pierre-Miguel Salgado III bad statement or not is legal to open carry so they are wrong for how they handled that... Dead wrong
+Harizl yeah right
Live in two different worlds... It happen may the way it was intended to happen... Just the truth... When your black your guilty until proven innocent
The United States has a very real problem with endemic racism, yet when asked about being biased or racist, many will vehemently deny being such!
Tamir Rice didn't have a chance nor the time to drop the toy gun. The cops started shooting him as soon they got out the car. I watched this video and others in slow motion. There wasn't even enough time to say "Drop it or we will shoot. " The family deserves every penny from the City of Cleveland in that $6 million settlement. This was murder.
Im a black man and watchin the vids and seeing sime of these comments burn me to my core! It really hurts to think that there are people that believe because im black i have no right to defend or protect myself and my family. Im wishing there was a place we could go where we would just be safe to walk home, or down the sidewalk without having hatred pull up in a cruiser and murder us based on what we look like. Who's really more tribal and animalistic here. To kill without remorse is something that makes these cops and some of you people commenting this hate inhuman and incapable of really loving and caring for anyone but yourself let alone a child who looks different. You
I'm heavily tattooed armenian Ethiopian and police and white folks discriminate on me constantly...tough being a zebra out chea
This is a progressive-liberal channel but why are most of the comments here are right-wing trolls? Got nothing better to do with your lives eh? No wonder..
+Staint12 They come here for the truth - even if they wont admit it because they know FOX, etc. are just lying to them.
+Staint12 Do you really want to watch fox news while listening to rush limbah on the way to vote for trump? I get why they come here. I will not go there.
biased much?
+justmemadison Fuckin' True!
+Staint12 Well... isn't nothing better to do kind of the whole thing with trolls?
The officers should be charged with murder.
Jesse Lopez you mean reckless homicide at most.
ELITE-DELTA -117 , as long as they do felony time.
One of my black coworker use to always say to me "this is a white world, we're just living in it."
It’s not just for right now
Glad they have video to prove what black people been saying for years!
tallblackman32 tbm you are absolutely right I hate to admit it but I likely would have been doubtful accept you do see these white gun toting bubbas all over the place like it's the zombie apocalypse and nobody bats an eye but any black person with even a fake gun and they suddenly are a threat.
And taking a knee is a way to show empathy for this injustice
I'm a police officer and it's no excuse I've been a police officer for 30 years
Have a feeling you're a black officer, hence the reason you know America soil is poisoned with racism.
They belong in jail.. if they were startled and “had to react to defend their lives” due to having been in that situation where pulling a gun and shooting was required to defend their life, it was their own fault for pulling right up to him, instead of on the road, giving them no time to react - they should be charged with murder and serve the amount of time people get for shooting cops because THEY KILLED A KID FOR NO REASON!! This is the most ridiculous video I have ever seen and the prosecutor deserves jail time also!
Blacks shoild return fire. This crazy
You take the good with the bad..... I know your child brain cant understand it but if I make 50k a year, I'm not risking dying because some guy decided to make a dumb decision... Whether the criminals are 15 or 45 years old... We literally cant hold police to a life or death situation because they're making (basically) minimum money to protect our/their lives. I could understand if they were taking NBA contracts and "my personal family is at risk" .... If not, I'm just going to give them the benefit of the doubt because they NEED to make it home to their kids safe
Those cops needed to lose their jobs and go to prison for killing a child.
They're not cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo.
Speak the truth!!!! I’ll never know how these MURDERERS are able to sleep at night! Murdering little kids would give any normal person nightmares!!!!
Don't point a gun at the cops
@@TheVeryBestBaby he pointed a gun at the cops duhh
To them, it made them money and gave them a laugh afterwards seeing the hard struggle of people trying to take them out of the system when they'll have immunity. It's a psychopath's dream to be a police officer.
So they murderd a child and get away with it just because they have a badge
It’s unfortunate. The US should be investigated for human rights abuse don’t you think?
TAMAR RICE'S CASE, SHOULD NOT BE CLOSED UNTIL JUSTICE, FOR HIS DEATH IS SERVED. KNOW MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES.
People like to talk about him aiming the toy gun at people inside a park was there proof he did...most people exaggerate a situation for cops can take their call seriously and arrive sooner. Anyway what happen to cease drop your weapon before shooting at person. Its appears these offices already had their mind made up before departing from their vehicle.....period!!!
freddie stone facts!
Exactly! They get a 'drop your weapon' but black people don't.
maybe black people should start open carrying on mass as a protest...
that would be funny.... all of a sudden open carry laws would start dropping like flies.
ZerqTM that's what happened back in the day of the black panthers. One of the reasons California has such has gun laws.
yes i know... frankly it may be time for a return so long as they keep to just doing the same as the other open carry groups.
It may be worth reminding people that the second amendment applies to black people too... i mean what is the NRA going to do?
It would be hilarious...
Incidentally i recall that the NRA started up around the time the the KKK got banned as a terrorist organization (though the newer iterations obviously are not classed that way though that may need a revision as things are going if you ask me :p)
Are you taking grammar lessons from Trump?
you should insert a Covfefe there too..
Its an open gun state, that means you can have weapons, shooting someone who's allowed to carry guns in less than the time it takes to assess anything but color of skin... that says a lot
For all anyone knows that young 12 year old kid could have been pretending to be a soldier in the u.s. Marines defending his country against foreign aggression or domestic. We of course will never know.
And in what way am I trying to justify the cops?
catonic. I think you read his message wrong in no way is he justifying the cops.
If I saw someone with a gun in my Canadian walmarts, I would run for my life
+Ashton “Nauct” Simmons Just don't go to such a shit store!
The 911 dispatcher clarified that it was a toy gun, and that he was a 12 yr old boy.
+cujomade101 dude. have qyou seen Canadian walmarts? they're fantastic. clean, stock full of European chocolates, and above all, free of three breastfed men in stripper heels full of goldfish
+Ashton “Nauct” Simmons That because Canadians are major pussies. Kind of like the English actually...
***** Where were you in the 1st and 2nd world war idiot, before you got attacked?
Are we forgetting it was a toy gun, and on top of that the boy dropped it. After it was dropped was the boy still a threat? This would have been the tipping point for me as the father. No court of law could and would contain me. These cops would not be able to walk around while my child is in a casket. That's how you show Black lives matter.
Bdpjev Thats how you legitimize "Black Identity Extremists" .
Demarquez Ballenger, I don't hate cops just criminals. Some criminals wear badges. It's okay with this current administration for whites to hate People and commit acts of straight up terrorism against other people just for being different but when non whites have ligitament anger it's criminal or extreme. Sounds like your indoctrinated. Looks like the programming is successful
The "A time to kill" approach will make everyone think of you as a terrorist. I don't know that I could let someone live after murdering my little sister and getting away with it either though.
@@Bdpjev the problem I find is that they defend the ones in the wrong. They promote that this is okay behavior, continue it in your normal approach in the field. America PROMOTES gun violence by defending the cops that shoot to kill on sight.
You take the good with the bad..... I know your child brain cant understand it but if I make 50k a year, I'm not risking dying because some guy decided to make a dumb decision...

I love that Indiana law a civilian can kill a cop for being unlawful
Dustin Holness should be American law
I love indiana
You guys have that?! Wow
On paper. No jury in the country will let a cop killer off. It doesn't matter if there is a video of the cop lining five people up against a wall and putting a bullet in the heads of the first four before the fifth guy gets him, the fifth guy is going to prison and the cop will be buried with honors.
This is madness. Racism at its best. America you have some serious self evaluation to do.
You can thank the political systems. Money speaks all here. Not only do poor suffer, but so do minorities.
NRA does not come to the rescue on this case, wonder why?
Jack Veneno. There's nothing to rescue.
This is why I don’t respect no cop. I don’t care if he’s black or white because they are all under the same code
It's simple. An eye for an eye. I dare a cop to ever try it.
As a black man in America I thank TYT for speaking the truth.
+Rodney Traylor As a black man in America i think his blacks cant carry assumption is bullshit. There's a difference between carrying and brandishing. He is also pulling shit out of his ass when he talks about the 2nd amendment and militias being there to suppress blacks. During the civil rights movement the 2nd amendment was a huge benefit, look up the Deacons for Defense. Also it may surprise you to know that the NRA was founded with the express purpose of arming freed blacks and teaching northerners how to shoot, and they opposed the first gun control laws which were proposed in part to disarm blacks.
That said shooting that kid was indefensible, but rather than blaming racism, I blame the shoot first curriculum that's used to teach cops today. I've had run ins with black cops and white cops, and i don't see a difference in how they act. The problem is that the police no longer have any idea how to deescalate a situation.
When i see 4.2k thumbs down i feel disgusted!...whats wrong with this country!!?...
how dumb are u the young turks got the story wrong the kid was pointing the gun at people
davy duck, no that kid did not. That kid did not have time to point anything. If you look closely, that kid did not have time to do anything or think how to respond. And you call someone a dumb.
i know what the kid was doing he was aiming it at people so look at it your self
davy duck,
Seriously you didn't know any kids that plays or played cops and robbers? With and without you guns. The police did not get a call about an active shooter. But a guy with a gun. This kid died because police did not follow protocol. If this was an active shooter situation the driver would have got his partner killed. I do not understand people who blame the kid for adult mistakes.
no this kid aimed at other people and at cars
people thinking this is ok to kill someone in seconds is not ok.
Gamefowl! /Life/Stile/ obviously allot of Mericans fell its ok, cause merica
That’s apparently what it means to be black in America. There should be a special prosecutor for every cop Case. Immunity is a privilege, not a right.
And they want us to stand for the flag?
How many cops pull up on a possible suspect with a firearm like that? They knew that was a child and murbered him.
murber!! murber!! help lawd!!! they murbering us all!!
I always have said, if every black person would carry a gun they would do something about gun control.
Black people are being hunted but we dont fight back we just wave signs an burn are own neighborhoods but wont go fight the hunters but will Do as drive by in a second but when the hunters get there they put there hands up an go with no problems my people are weak an it hurts my heart
I'm black and you sound like a race war baiter, you're feeding right into yt Amerikkka's hands, there looking for an excuse to exterminate and here you are with your mouth open trying to give them one.
I don't see you and your gun leading no issue. Just a parking lot Warrior.
Where is the NRA in defending Tamir Rice civil rights to bear arms??????
+Ralph Cobbs
Well since the NRA represent actual guns to be sold only they really don't give two craps about toys that they're not selling. Unless they also manufacture toy guns in which case they're just fucked up.
+RedPilledCivilian No they wouldnt because he was black, they dont want black people with guns.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in those clips he showed the person who was shot was holding the gun in their hands, not in a holster. Even if a state has open carry you can't go around HOLDING the gun or pointing it at people unless there is a threat to you or someone else.
Brad, you're an obvious bigot whether you realize it or not honey. Shame on you for your comments when you know that what you just said is a load of bullshit. Everything is black and white to white people because its not a problem they face every day.
(I'm assuming you're white) but you will probably lie and say you're black, it would not shock me if you tried, just to win the argument.
But if it was you! Brad, holding that toy gun in that store as a white man, then you! wouldn't have faced a single problem with those cops.
DO YOU GET IT NOW? Shame on you! Shame!
sammy, I am not defending the cops who shot those people, I am simply pointing out the inaccuracy when tyt says those people would have been obeying the open carry laws even if it had been a real gun. Btw I'm white...I guess my opinion doesn't matter now does it?
But he picked it up in the store if he put it in his pocket they would say he tried to steal he hasn't baught it
He picked up the TOY GUN from the STORE!
Brad Thomson he picked up the toy gun from the store every statment you make can easily be countered it sounds like you justifying the actions of the police officers
Tried and tested : courts don't work for police brutality.
Since talking isn't working, we need another approach.
Back in 2007 was in Cleveland area for about 6 months to train a group of new hires. Several people gave warnings about black people and how dangerous the streets were... there was nothing open after 11pm.
There wasn't anyone dangerous. Just burnt out rust belt, with a freeway system built for a few millions, with apparently at that time the traffic volume of my city Boise Idaho... population 250K.
I was surprised a north eastern state/city was perhaps even more racist than a southern state... I spent time in Richmond VA and Chattanooga TN doing the same thing, training new hires.
Racism is everywhere. Idaho its mostly against Hispanics and Natives.
I only notice it when others confide in my blonde blue eyes. And I usually give them the WTF look when they do.
We have serious issues. I hate this country.
Isn't it ironic I wish I could go to my paternal ancestors origin, back to Germany? I liked Germany a lot. But they're getting swamped by refugees, they have more priority that myself... but if they weren't having mass migration issues, I so would be strongly considering of leaving to there... or Canada.
yeah I'm a white guy living in Texas, but I'm also Jewish. I have random people who make offensive comments about jews & when I say I'm jewish they ask, "why didn't you tell me sooner?" LOL racists.
Thank you for your honesty. I hope we can one day move this country past all this racial and color BS.
I can't believe people can watch a video of a young boy getting killed by police and still find excuses to defend them. Pathetic. R.I.P 💕
start saying “Go to America!” Instead of Go to hell !
Im so FK glad i live in the Netherlands. Cops here are so chill lmao
Please tell me they didn't get away with this. I was actually thinking of going the local police department. But if cops really do get away with these kinds of things...i don't think I'd want to stand with people like that
If you feel you need a gun to go to Wal-Mart then something is definitely wrong with you or you're shopping at the wrong Wal-Mart.
Jose Campos liberalism is an illness!? What a typical ignorant response from am American. Man your country has gone to shit
Jose Campos Who sounds sick, the person who is so paranoid that they stockpile weapons and can't go shopping without carrying a gun or the person that fears that person? Men like you have convinced yourselves that there is an eminent race war or the goverment is coming to take away your liberty or some other empending irrational fate. I'll start stockpiling weapons when men like you take over my country. Which is sadly coming closer to reality.
Papi Grande If you're speaking of the young man that was shot and killed in the store, he actually picked the "toy gun" up from the toy isle, for his kid(s) while shopping in that same story.
If the state of Ohio was an open state carry then the police should have approached these situations different. Never ever pull up on an armed person you keep your distance and give commands and keep cover behind your vehicle.
You can talk all of the shit you like about me. I was a use of force instructor so I know what I am talking about.
He wasn't breaking the law. Even if it is an open carry state, he was "brandishing" if it was real gun but it was not a real gun. Tamir's death is still the police's fault. My friends and I had a big debate about this early.
Cops get away with too much
Any one who even walked past a law school could have indicted the police officer in this story
+Hunter Smith Well guess what, a jury of your peers decided not to. Go cry about it you little liberal bitch.
+Mark Reilly Just own up to your racist bullshit, markie.
James Dagnan Whats so racist about my comment? A jury of your peers returned a no bill. Get over it you whiney little bitch
Mark Reilly because the case was thrown? How is it this 12 year old kid was shot in less than a minute but the old ass white dude who shot up planned parenthood was allowed to surrender? Ill wait.
James Dagnan Well maybe because this kid reached into his belt for a gun. I'll bet any amount of money you would not be able to tell the difference between a BB handgun an a real handgun within a 2 second time frame.
As a liberal from Ohio, I couldn't be more ashamed. I wish we were better.

+MurderCrowAwdio I and some of my friends are. But there should be more of us.

+MurderCrowAwdio Who knows? I only hear from people that overtly racist on the internet, I don't have them in my life. But yes, probably. But, there is clearly something very wrong with the way the police are being trained in the last couple of years or so, and it is happening all over the nation.

preach this dude is on point
darrin coats do you know the difference between brandishing a gun and open carry?
He wasn't opening carrying, he was brandishing and pointing the gun at people.
+Manny Macfly yep you are spot on sir this is pure lies. he says a 12 y/o can carry a pistol .no a 12 year old can not open carry in any state. so he just flat out lies. oh yes we all see people with assault rifles everywhere this guy makes me sooooooo sick he wants to start a race war and turn the clock back 175 years just so he has stuff to talk about and make a buck.
Marie Miller the 2nd example he made with the walmart shooting... He was swatted by an anti-gun liberal and setup to be shot and killed. The swatter was never charged.
+John Poteet I'm not white, and how am I lying I quoted a law and it's all on video....
+ali dave again I'm not white...... Open carry is a law you should start with reading it..
John Poteet Okay......
Open carry does NOT allow people to run around WAVING THE GUN AROUND! I T HAS TO STAY ON YOUR SHOULDER OR IN YOUR HOLSTER.
+rockethead555 It is a valid point. They show pictures of white people carrying guns in public and say, "What about this person? What about this person? What about this person? Why didn't the police gun this person down?" Well, they all had their weapons properly holstered. Open carry doesn't mean that you get to have your weapon in your hand at the ready at all times. Even open carry states have laws regulating when the weapon can be unholstered and brandished, and failing to acknowledge that is either ignorant or deliberately misleading.
+rockethead555 First, all of that is immaterial to the point that was being made in this specific comment thread. The point of this specific thread was that Cenk points to examples of white people that are open carrying with their weapons properly holstered and then tries to equate that with black people that have their weapons (which turn out not to be real) brandished in their hands. Open carry laws generally do NOT allow you to brandish your weapon in public. It must be properly holstered. So pointing to open carry laws in these cases is either ignorant or misleading. Based on Cenk's previous videos, I'm going to lean towards misleading.Second, I agree with what you are saying in principal and I think both of the incidents that are discussed here were handled terribly by the police; however, I completely disagree with the notion that there is no reason for the police to fire upon an individual that has not fired his weapon. Expecting the police to wait until they are fired upon to return fire is completely unreasonable. If a person has a weapon in hand and is behaving in a threatening manner, then I have no problem with the police gunning that person down. The problem that I have with both of these cases is that the person that was gunned down never had any opportunity to put their weapon down. The police ambushed them and fired on them before they had an opportunity to really even know what was going on.
+rockethead555 I'm not defending the police in either of those incidents. In fact, I have been very critical of the police in both instances. This video, however, was about how white people can open carry but if black people open carry then they get gunned down. That argument is ridiculous. Or at least the way the argument was presented was ridiculous because the white people that are used as examples have their weapons holstered in a legal manner whereas the black people that are used as examples have their weapons brandished in an illegal manner. Now it turns out that neither of those weapons were real, but the point remains. Open carry laws had nothing to do with either of those incidents because open carry laws do not allow you to brandish your weapon. You can say that your point has nothing to do with race, but the whole point of this video was that white people can open carry but black people can't, and that is a ridiculous argument.
cops didn't see him waving it. also a white doctor was waving an assault rifle in a Texas airport...not shot. white guy waving a gun after running over black lives matter protestors with his car...not shot. nice try though
+gamebred26 yes but the black kids are, well, children. The white guys are waving around guns, while these kids are alone, and get no chance to put down their "guns."
This was tragic ass fuck...a badge should not give anyone the right to take a life. These individuals need to be prosecuted and held accountable for murder. I’ve always said that cops need rules of engagement. These rules of engagement should penalize both parties severely of either fail to follow the laws.
This is sickening😢
You are truly sick in your head if you think the murder of this child is justified.
+Webster Fillmore seek mental help if human life means that less to you.
Where was the NRA in these cases.
Vernon Jenkins exactly
They are the ones pushing the notion that the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply to black people.
I did eighteen years as a police officer. As I have noticed that the target against black people is more evident. Just think of it like this operant conditioning is what the cops are trained for. They use targets of armed black men on the firing range and during simulator training.
I think carrying an open weapon as a black man is a bad idea. Even for me I think the concealed weapons carry is not for black people. For myself I applied for a concealed weapon permit.
The police are trained through operant conditioning. Check it out
Silverback Powerlifting if you were a professional officer (18 years) your comments are naive at best or just straight f***** up. African Americans should have SEAL weapons permit if they choose and all should own a gun. You were definitely part of the problem during those years because you could have demand change and stepped up. You're pathetic.
Silverback Powerlifting i hope 1 day they take there oath serious before this world comes to a end! Always remember it is your right to open carry in the U.S.A
Silverback Powerlifting the indefinite reason of racism is that people talk about it they beat a dead horse when I look at a African American I see a human being if I see a Latino I see a human if I see a Asian I see a human being If I see a white person I see a human being if I see middle eastern person I see a human being if I see a native American i see a human being. I have no hatred against people of color I see them as another person nothing more that's our issue we've based our opinions on different races of people by bull shit stereotypes, dark times of history, incarceration ratios between races, and false knowledge.
5 years later, it’s still the same.
it's so crazy how cops can get away with killing innocent black people especially kids it's not right
Anthony Serian it won't change unless we as a country hold them accountable for their actions
Daniel Williams so true but it's like the police are above the law
I've been saying this for months. Where are the Second Amendment devotees on this case? How is it that they are silent in the instance of someone being shot merely for carrying a gun?
+redvenomweb Yeah - never thought of it that way.
+redvenomweb that's a risk you take if you open carry. especially when shit hits the fan, there's a GIANT target on your back. i have a concealed weapon permit and stay armed 24/7, i'm VERY careful not to expose my g19 in public to avoid situations like these. it's really that simple.
+redvenomweb They're anti-black.
when you charge someone you don't give them a chance to react properly.
The man is saying nothing but facts. Them dirty ass cops did Tamir wrong it's a dam shame
A black man told the police he had a gun in his car and the police shot him.
thank you for being our voice much respect
I was 15 looking like I was 12. 2 detectives rode up on me walking from the store in my neighborhood. With grocery bags in my hand about 12 in the afternoon. They pulled up, questioned me and was smoking at me like it was funny. That's when I 1st felt like something was wrong. When I got older I was arrested for a bag of weed found in my cousin suitcase. He wrote 2 different affidavits saying it was his and the DA threw them out. I was under a unheard of $100,000 bond for about $300 of drugs, on a 1st offense. There were Rapist, attempted Murderers, people with domestic violence who bail was lower or somewhere around mine. Even the white CO said that I was profiled by the state toopers and my arrest didn't make any sense let along my bail.
There's a huge difference between carrying a weapon and brandishing it. From the 911 call: "He's pulling (the gun) in and out of his pants and pointing it at people." Though the caller also said the gun was "probably fake," this was never communicated to the officers.
+Idiodyssey87 That's why Responsible officers would of stopped at a distance and said freeze or drop the gun, not execute him in 2 seconds!
Freshtex Blackman Oh, I'm not going to attempt to defend the officer's actions. I just take objection at Cenk's attempting to use this story as proof of racial profiling in regards to open carry laws. When you point a weapon at people, legally, you're not just carrying it anymore.
+Idiodyssey87 Even if that is what the caller said, the cops are still responsible for investigating before killing a kid. The cops didn't see him pointing it, and when they rolled up, he wasn't pointing it at anyone, so there is no reason for them to react the way they did.
+Idiodyssey87 When they arrived the gun was in his pocket. They didn't see the tip of the gun. They just execute him for no crimes
Cenk, as always, you are on point. I can't tell you how many of my FB friends lost their minds over: 1) Michael Brown being a "thug" (what he allegedly did in that store, roughing up the owner, was wrong, but did it call for the death penalty, without benefit of a trial and conviction?); 2) Trayvon Martin being a "thug" (because of the way he dressed and having smoked marijuana... again, not death penalty); 3) any black person shot or killed by police who should have "just followed orders." Some of the comments make me seriously wonder how they perceive ME... Are they really that quick to dehumanize black people? Yes.
I really would like to see more law abiding black people armed. I think that would solve a lot of problems, but this is one reason I think black people don't want to arm themselves. It is literally life threatening for black people to do open carry protest walks in the street.
+bigchunk1
The ones who survive in racist America today.
As I’ve been saying ever since, if they thought it was real there’s no way they would pull right up next to him. If so they’re too stupid to be cops.
They're not cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo
When the Black Panthers were open carrying in California, the governor implemented strict gun laws. Which governor? RONALD FREAKING REAGAN.
People are saying there should be more training for the police departments to handle situations like this. But I say these police officers need to be charged with the same crimes as the citizens of the United States who isn't wearing badges. There supposed to be here to protect and serve, not to be bully's with a badge.
JustAnormalGamer Channel ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
I wonder how many ppl think any child has any intention to harm a cop.
That was an assassination! Assassins would stop next to him open the door shoot him 2-3 times before even setting both of their feet on the ground.
Oh, right, the cops did just that!
If white they would have not kill tat kid I hope the parents go for a civil suit
What do these cops think once they realize these guns were fake?
Nothing. They don’t care.
They didn't care.
They think, "Yay, we killed another black person!" They're racist, fascists and get off getting their guns off.
If a jury believes that there is a reasonable doubt that a police officer is not lying when he says "I feared for my life", then he will not be convicted. It seems that the law needs to be changed somehow.
These two kids were shot on sight, when they were completely alone, posing absolutely no threat to anyone or the officers who ran up on them out of the blue. They got false reports, did not bother to ascertain the situation,. it simply jumped out of the car or turned the corner and opened fire. There is absolutely no excuse for that. The full videos are available and those criticizing TYT for this report are willfully blind. The comments here sadden me to my core. Whether or not they had the toy guns in their hands is beside the point. They did nothing illegal and the officers made absolutely no attempts to investigate the situation. It is a reckless at the very least and if you cannot see the racial component of these killings it is simply because you do not want to.
I was in tune with everything you said till got to the racial part I believe they just wanted to kill someone not because of their color I could be wrong but I doubt it
There was a game we played as kids that we called "Guns." We took it very seriously. We had a massive arsenal of toy pistols, shotguns, rifles and machine guns that we hid from our parents because we broke the orange tips off or painted to look more real. Looking back, it had to seem pretty shady, a bunch of boys sneaking around the neighborhood with authentic looking automatic weapons waiting for the opportunity to "POP! POP! POP!" each other. If you think for a second that back then in my white, suburban neighborhood, that a cop would have rolled up on us, despite what we were doing, and gunned us down in 2 seconds flat then you're kidding yourself. If you think that's reasonable then investigating this case further won't help you, you're already too far gone. If you're a real human, on the other hand, then it is your duty to act and speak out against #nojustice for Tamir Rice.
+NotEvenJail I did the same with my brother and friends when I was a kid. A cop lived across the street from us. All the boys had toy guns and ran around pretending to shoot each other with them all the time. No cop was stupid enough to think we were a danger to anyone.
4 years later this still breaks my heart or what's left of it America........
Were these police officers charge for murder? Some please response and give me the info.
Christopher Lawrence no
Eric Williams thank you very much. That's the free America!
That was clear when the black panther party carried them for protection.
J Murcur true..
at the end of the day a fuckin kid died and whoever say that shit is justice is the reason we will never get along
Like i said im ablack guy, a very proud one and in Africa. I will never visit USA and th Europearn countries. This is not the way i wanna die
You are very smart and right and most of us living in amerikkka needs to start establishing themselves outside of this evil, stop paying their taxes and buying their vain lifestyles.
1911GreaterThanALL Correct term is there is more African people in Africa to begin with versus the percentage of how many African American people you have in the USA. Africa is a Continent of various countries (almost 1 billion people) or should I bunch the statistics of the USA (250-300 million) with the whole of North and South America?
Is it safer than being in the USA where 500+/- people on average are killed in Los Angeles of all places. How about Detroit? I travel around and I felt less safe in the USA than anywhere in the world, so I took my happy hind parts and didn't let the door hit me on the way out. I prefer my life at my family estate in Africa where I fish the lake with no permits and can grow, herd and slaughter livestock to my heart's content, unlike the USA where it is not allowed within city limits and there are various restrictions to the animals you can keep. If I want snow, I just go to Russia, the EU, Australia and New Zealand and drink with the locals and BBQ as much as possible.
p.s. I eat lunch with cops at local dives in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Pskov and Perm: never once has anyone asked for ID, searched or gave me any hassles. Carry yourself with dignity and honor and it is reciprocated. Sadly, I get irritated with the various nonsense that "The so called Land of the Free is but a mirage of twisted democracy, ridiculous healthcare and insurance gimmicks that bleeds and milks the citizens for every penny and then some, fraudulent business practices via outsourcing jobs and manufacturing to other nations to save a buck, and veterans who get treated like dirt from the VA after their military service ends."
And most importantly have you ever traveled the world and saw what happens with your own eyes versus the stuff on the internet or shady news channels? If you haven't, how can you believe you are a Champion in a sport if you never faced anyone? My point being just because someone tells you something doesn't make it right or a fact as true as Gospel and that's a fact.
You don’t reach for anything when approached by police officers which is what Tamir Rice did and the police had no knowledge that the gun was fake. All they received was that a juvenile was waving a “gun” at people.
james carson take your whining about something that happen many years ago somewhere else. Because nobody cares.
@@mrrequenes6222 So you mean to tell me that the cops who perceived someone arm and dangerous pulls up right beside that person. You a fool. What this was was a cop finally getting a chance to do what he been wanting do since he joint the the police force. Probably his whole reason for joining. Couldn't wait to kill that kid that he didn't even bother to keep some distance from the so called threat. Get the hell out here with that nonsense. That's first degree murder hiding behind a badge.
Jarcus Mercer you don’t know the police nor anyone else dipshit.
Mr Requenes devil
"All they received was that a juvenile was waving a “gun” at people."
info from Joe Public, that they didn't question. How incompetent are you as police, if you go by info from some passer-by.
did you know that witnesses always give conflicting statements? that eye-witnesses are generally unreliable?
these officers sure don't.
Open Carry Laws are one of the weirdest Laws I have heard of for a "Civilised Country". Like.. why?!?
Open carry should be for everyone.
"carry" does not include brandishing.
+Maltfalc This.
+DragonCharlz You mean the bunch of white guys pointing guns at cops and verbally threatening them?
Isn't it strange how not a single shot was fired by the police.
I wonder what the difference was....
Scarletpooky Exactly. I wasn't surprised that they were allowed to literally threaten government officials WHILE SOMEONE BROKE THE LAW and still get away with it. Fucking insanity.
I know this is old . But Bloody Hell. I live in Australia , I have never seen a Gun ,only on police officers . But if I was walking in shopping malls .and saw that , I would be terrified . Or think I was in a Dream and actually in a 3rd world State.
I'm Canadian and same here - I'd be shocked to even see a handgun in a public place, let alone something bigger.
If it weren't for my family and the fact that I'm poor I might try to immigrate if I could because those Rambo wannabes scare me to.
There is nothing that could justify this
+DrunkenMadman true man, that is sad to watch i hope justice is served with this bad cops.
MrWisemasterful I dont advise to do that. It look like usa police is very racist.
This is not something you can force upon, you need to contribute to the education of the next generation of Americans.
They are the people who will change that. Im a proud human being and happen to my skin be white, but that is just a skin dont make me better or worst than a Chinese a African or any person what make me better is the actions i produce to evolve the world.
+DrunkenMadman Other than the fact that the 911 caller said that the kid was pointing a gun at random people? Other than the fact that when the police rolled up on him he immediately reached for the pistol?
Troll Central Nothing can justify it.
DrunkenMadman
And if it had been a real gun and he was able to kill a police officer? Would you weep for that officer and feel the same that you feel for that young man?
You guys in America are really messed up.
I like the open carry thing, but your laws are messed up. Cop can shoot you and get away almost everytime.
So you have a right to open carry, but at the same time cops have a right to shoot you down because you open carry.
Really messed up laws.
unbelievable this actually hurts to see a 12 year old getting killed for no reason.
+ultor europae i got no time for you, you can't even spell animal. i know your type. the sad truth is that is probably the way these racist cops see it also. i wish you well you clearly need help.
+ultor europae ok homer Simpson i see i am now stooping to your no IQ level enjoy being you RACIST. whatever makes you such a tormented soul
+Shauntanel Wilson don't even worry about this person sometimes we have to look at the source of where things are coming from. This person if i can call it a person is just plain racist. don't waste your time. MUCH RESPECT
+Doctor Mambo lol for no reason? pointing that gun at people and scaring them half to death...get real. and yall cant get angry and armed, your anti gun lol.
ultor europae hey racist dumb ass the word is not GENEDICS it is GENETICS. Go get some education, Please. That is your lesson for today. So far i think by now you can spell ANIMAL. I feel so sorry for you. You poor lost soul.
Now ask me do I feel bad about the 5 cops in Dallas? They would have lied to protect a bad cop. So they all bad.
Nope
blackericdenice let's not go crazy. Eye for and eye don't solve shit especially when it's at random
I'm black...and this is utterly ridiculous!! "Open Carry" here in NC (and all over) has nothing to do with the way these guys were carrying these guns. Open Carry means it's secured in a holster if a handgun or with a sling if it's a rifle....anything else is considered "brandishing" which is illegal. Please don't try to speak for all black people... Some of us are actually informed and don't need to hide behind the race card. if you believe that the shooting was unjust that's one thing but don't say it has anything to do with open carrying NOT being for black people!
+Eric Lattimore look at the facts
+colm fiona I think the cop's tactics were terrible...but again, nothing to do with OPEN CARRY at all.
+Harry “havdaironman” J I couldn't find your comment in this feed...
First he was brandishing it then hideing it in his wasteband then pulling it out as police officers drive up to him. Those facts seem to escape most people. The kid died of stupidity.
+natethehuman some people will never accept the facts
He was pointing it at people, and pulled the gun out of his shorts when the police pulled up, so yes he was seen as a threat. When you see someone pull a gun, the last thing on your mind is to give them a warning.
+Matthew Oriti dont see a weapon being pulled out in thay clip he was shot in seconds on arrival of the police....I mean the mass church shooter got taken alive but a kid with a toy gun nah..(replies with the shooter surrendered)
He is clearly seen reaching for the gun, so there isn't much time to go over every possible option. When people are taken alive, it is because there is time to go over other options. Those are not split-second situations. This case was a split-second situation. To the officer, it was either shoot, or be shot. Trust me, I don't support when an officer wrongly kills a person. Logically speaking, the shooting of Tamir Rice, while terrible and unfortunate, is completely justified.
Maybe everyone was wrong. When does that give anyone the choice to kill.. I just can't see how these police thugs are not in jail for LIFE are giving the death penalty. I am white and sick of this racist shit
It is absolutely baffling to me that it is common for some americans to walk around with (probably loaded) firearms. I could not openly carry a hunting knife much less any weapon that requires a permit unless I'd be on some kind of police or military duty. To imagine people walking around armed is just ... insane to me.
However, I am from switzerland and we are "famous" to have a lot of guns (due to manditory military service) but much, much less gun related violence. So it's rather common that a houshold does have some sort of gun stored away somewhere but ... carrying it around? Just, why? What's the point of it? So you'll be armed in the unlikely event you get mugged or attaked and your opponent can handily grab your gun to harm you?
As I said, it's baffling to me XD
+kindAhumaNbeinG I'm an American and it's baffling to me too. I wouldn't try and wrap your head around it as it's a really pointless argument to make around my parts...unfortunately.
GunOwnerDan
I'm an American and I don't love guns. What about me?
GunOwnerDan
Okay, but no one actually needs guns if you're not actively in the middle of a gun fight. All those gun toting "Americans" out there carrying around their guns like their lives depend on it won't use it for protection 99.999999999999999999999999999% of the time.
An opportunity where one would actually need a gun for protection is SO infinitesimally small that using that as an excuse to "need" one around you for every waking moment is childish and embarrassing. It's comparable to me wearing a full set of armor just in case someone tries to stab me, it will most likely never happen and I'll look like an idiot all the while screaming my rights to wear this armor.
Any citizen that NEEDS to carry around a gun, is an idiot. Sorry.
Webster Fillmore
Really? That's weird, all the black people I know haven't killed anyone, and they certainly don't brag about it.
Do you actually know any black people or are you getting all these "facts" from rap music?
GunOwnerDan
You should consider a trip to switzerland. We have exellent treatment opportunities for dillusional people. May they be unable to understand the transition of time (eg. that the Kings long gone), have difficulties to understand basic statistics (for instance, gun owners are more likely to hurt themselfes with their guns than protect their property or life) or if they're just generally a bit challenged by the idea that more (violence) does not mean less but more, there are people who are willing and capable to help you.
I will slowly turn my back on you now carefully patting my forehead with the palm of my hand. Do not startle, it's not an aggressive gesture and I do not need to be shot in the back ;)
I noticed it’s some people that still don’t understand everything he said... and or only hear the parts that they want to
Don't remember seeing this on ABC news but they did have a segment on the new hot sauce craze on facebook. I'm serious.
