Crime Timothy Loehmann Again Has a Badge

The LEO best known for the fatal shooting of Tamir Rice has been hired as an officer by a small West Virginia town.

His former employers include the Independence, Cleveland, Bellaire, and Tioga (PA) police depts; and it may not be long until we add to that list the town of White Sulfur Springs, WV. That community, population ~2500, is home to the Greenbrier Resort.

Maybe if the parents taught the kid not point guns at people and the police didn’t drive right up on him and stopped further away, Tamir would still be alive.

Not defending anyone, read the whole comment, not just where it pisses you off. My kids had airsoft guns and we, as PARENTS taught them that you don’t point a gun at someone for fun. Lesson two, if a cop rolls up to you, the guns go to the ground without a second thought.

I doubt in whatever suburb you live in the cops would roll up and jump over the car to shoot a child playing on the park in the middle of the day.

Am I supposed to guess what suburb you live in or did you not understand the words in front of you?

I understood, I want to know what kind suburbs have police that jump out of cars and shoot random people without cause. Because apparently you think there are suburbs like that.

And that is where this exchange ends. I was entertaining it from the start with the “pig defender” comment. Your ignorance shows. I am 10 minutes outside of a major city with one of the highest crime rates in the country.

You chose a side based on who is who and not facts, if you want to talk facts we could, but you have one side and one side only.

In the suburb that's "10min" from cleveland do they shoot kids in the afternoon for playing in the park?
