        Clown with a Badge goes on a tirade about hypotheticals and 'what if' scenarios to justify the quotes below. It's literally this idiot's Job to possess the skill to discern the difference btwn a kid w/ a BB Gun and a criminal. If He can't do that, then don't be a Cop.pic.twitter.com/h4xlZjXfCK

        Right you never hear pilots or firemen crying about the safety issues they have but these policeman who can act as judge, jury and executioner have so poor racist target training they can’t think right with black kids in sight.

        Right, right. So, if We're to believe this cops narrative. He had a split second to run up on these kids to determine if they were packing a sig sauer and shot them in the head commando style....because this moron was in the military and your reflexes have to be sharp in combat

        Not hating on police here, but when it's young kids playing with toy guns, what exactly should they "know better"?

        This story is straight propaganda to make Columbus police look good. Fact is, they're not. Many in the Black community in Columbus don't trust the CPD due to racist policing. Remember #TyreKing? These officers shouldn't be praised for not shooting Black kids with pellet BB guns

        QUESTION: Do you think the Columbus police would lecture 2 white kids with BB guns the same way they scolded the 11 & 13 yr-old Black kids? ANSWER: You know the answer... Hell No. Never forget #TyreKing! Justice for #TyreKing! We'll never forgive CPD for killing #TyreKing.

        Don't forget Ohio is an open carry state, but they (black boys) get lectured having LEGAL toy bb guns.

        3 reasons why this story that praises the Columbus police is straight BS!! #1 Would they lecture white kids like that? #2 Would they describe a white kid as an "11 year old MAN" (rewatch & listen) #3 CPD shot & killed 13 yr-old #TyreKing who allegedly had a BB gun.

        Actually he called the eleven year old boy and the thirteen year old young man which is a typical way to address kids of that age no matter the race. And yes police “lecture” educate anyone they stop that is part of their job.

        He said “11 year old man” at the 2 min mark as clear as day. Which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve literally ever heard but white supremacy isn’t the most logical idea ever, now is it?

        Why is that a problem exactly? He showing respect. My 12 year old hates being called boy or being given a child’s cup at a restaurant. Y’all are reading way to much into everything. I think it’s insane.

        Just scrolled your TL- not even gonna argue with you. You’d support the ethnic cleansing of blacks if 45 said it was ok.
