Extended version of Tamir Rice video shows aftermath; abhorrent behavior of cops.

This portion of the video begins where the last one left off. I understand now why they didn't want us to see it.

Full video of Tamir Rice shooting incident.

CLEVELAND - Cleveland Police have released the full video of the November 22 shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice.

The video is the extended version of the recording from the security camera at the Cudell Rec Center. The original shortened version was available for viewing in late November.

A minute and a half after 12 year old Tamir Rice was shot by Cleveland Police officer Timothy Loehmann, Tamir's family said his 14 year old sister, who was at the park with him, tried to run to her brother's side.

After another minute and a half, she's placed in the back of a police car, her family says she was handcuffed.

They also interviewed the mother on the CBS evening news. She was threatened with an arrest if she 'continued to fuss' (paraphrasing), but it was something ridiculous like that. Wtf?

Eta: She was cruelly kept away from him.

They are out of control in several parts of the planet.
We're all terrorists to them these days - what a day when the people who are supposed to keep us safe are the terrorists.

This is the most clear, the most egregious, I mean I don't see how there is an room at all goes anyone to defend this. You'd have to be doing mental gymastics and contortions. This right here, anyboidy can see it with their own eyes how could anyone possibly defend it?
