I will agree with you

the toy looked real. But the dispatcher call worries me for the obvious omission of "fake" gun statement by caller. If it was 911, that call is on record. Also the tape shows gun was not out in the 1.5 seconds of police rolling up and shooting of Tamir. Gun was not visible. His 14year old sister was in the back seat of the police car, handcuffed, watching him die. They made her watch. She got upset at shooting and they tackled her and handcuffed her and threw her in the back seat where his life was expiring. That's just cruel.

All these photos

of saddened people because of executions of unarmed black males by white police officers. Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, John Crawford, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, all unarmed.....yeah, yeah I know the toy looked real. A little more communication by police dispatcher would have rectified that situation. Maybe, just maybe those 'police officers' would have asked Tamir if it was a toy. Big maybe, but just a possibility. Who was the caller, who was the dispatcher. Why hasn't the lack of communication become a contributing issue, when it was an omission of important information?. All these sad, sad faces. This is becoming............... The daughter was put in the same car as the dying boy??? They really didn't care. She's scarred for life and they didn't even care. Cruel and vicious. No, it wasn't murder ......and torture......

right

might, but I seriously doubt that whites who perpetuate a system wide cultural racism will want to take advice from Jamaica. REALLY.

that made me laugh

never shut up. You made a valuable point. That is the marker here.

yeah, yeah, yeah, irrelevant to point

you're still not addressing the question, as usual. Experience trumps your sad attempt at trying to deflect, distract, diminish the real problem of racism, in the police department(s) and with some of their police officers,toward blacks. You can't see this happening, that is fine. Can't really say I'm surprised at your response(s).

that's true

and/or mentally ill.

What are you saying

that black people are not shot, executed, murdered more, proportionally, than any other racial group? Just curious as to your putting Oh'reilly up as a 'source' of information...to be used as a confusion point as to the truth of state sanctioned murder of black people. It's obvious that ........oh never mind you, really.

geez!!!!

How stupid they think we all are. It's insulting and demeaning. The hit's just keep coming.

Per your title

1.5 millions registered as Democrats in Landrieu's state, 729,000 registered at Republican voters. If Democrats had voted their ticket, last election, perhaps we wouldn't be having the 'outrage' noted below in some responses. Now the question I ask is: Why didn't the Louisiana democrats vote?
