TAMIR RICE, 12 -- KILLED BY CLEVELAND POLICE

[HairOfTheDog]

Wasn't he told to drop the weapon or raise his hands in the air, something like that? I only heard about this in passing.

That's what the Deputy Chief said in a press conference.



Snip:
The officers drove onto the grass with their windows down, and gave three commands to “show your hands,” Deputy Chief Tomba said. He wouldn’t elaborate on additional dialogue between the officers and the boy because of an ongoing investigation into the incident.

The 911 call, a transcript of which was released Monday, detailed the observations of a man who was sitting outside of the recreation center and described seeing “a guy in here with a pistol.” He continued, saying the person kept pulling the gun in and out of his pants. “It’s probably fake. But you know what? It’s scaring the shit out of people,” the caller said.

ETA: The 911 call (the caller says it's probably a fake several times and that the black male is probably a juvenile).
