He did, by making a sarcastic joke. Painfully obvious. Sean Spicer’s answer to the press only confirms that he hasn’t spoken to Trump since the tweet, maybe for a week or more at this point? 

Someone should tell them, too, that adding the word “sincerely,” to their apology doesn’t actually make it sincere.

You’d think that someone would have looked around and thought, “Hey, hold on a minute...”

The person responsible for shooting the unarmed (yes, unarmed) child (yes, child) is the officer who jumped out of the vehicle, issued no orders to disarm and asked no questions before immediately discharging his firearm.

The fact that the officer pulled up their interceptor within a few feet of the victim, exited the vehicle, and immediately discharged his weapon.

Somebody’s never read Officer Murderlove’s psych evaluations or background. That’s OK, we live in a free country so reading is optional to formulating an opinion. Doesn’t make your opinion valid, though.

Whether he was a young black male or an old white woman, you use you common sense before shooting. He was a 12 year old boy. What is wrong with you?

It was the officers’ fault and you’re wrong, both Bobby Hazzard in the driver’s seat and Quick Draw McGraw in the passenger’s seat. If Tamir had been white, he’d be alive. They would have approached the situation differently.

Going out on a limb, I’m going to guess the police union would have negotiated a provision that has the effect of preventing the city from terminating a cop involved in a shooting for which there will be no prosecution.

Just another Gypsy cop

That “newish” officer was “newish” to that department. He had been an officer elsewhere and was forced to resign. They forced him to resign because they determined he wasn’t emotionally fit for police duty.

“then he is dropped a few feet away from said suspect”

Thats some needle-threading right there.

That’s what always irritates me about defenders of this incident. Watch the video and there is no excusing this action. The driver pulled up about 10 feet away from the kid with the cop in the passenger seat in a direct line of fire. In what world are those appropriate tactics for somebody with a live weapon? If the…

Frankly, your excuses for this “new hire” are inadequate. Here’s hoping that you are not faced with law enforcement who are unqualified and move in a way that makes those officers nervous.

I absolutely do blame the shooter. A police officer should be able to evaluate a threat and act appropriately. Timothy Loehmann should have been able to recognize A) that Tamir Rice was a child; and B) the air gun wasn’t a real weapon. Instead, Loehmann chose to kill the person he encountered rather than pursue the…

A “grand jury” is not a trial jury. The cops that murdered Rice were not tasked with finding a guilty or not guilty verdict, but rather whether or not a trial should have been formed, in which a trial jury would have made that determination.

Don’t feel too bad for Loehmann, he’ll just be hired by Podunkville PD somewhere else in Ohio where he can keep fucking things up despite not having the temperament, training or intelligence to be a decent police officer.

They work jointly with the police. Piercing the Blue Wall would damage their relationship with the people that help them keep their conviction rates up. Just as police will turn on one of their own that turn witness/informant, they will turn on a prosecutor that legitimately tries to convict one of their “brothers in…

I mean, they can give any reason they want, but the dude is getting fired because he shot and killed Tamir Rice, a child with an airsoft gun. This is just an easier way to do it. Just like at most companies, when you want to get rid of someone who is generally bad but may not have done any one thing that would allow…
