Cleveland boy’s fatal shooting prompts call for fake guns to be brightly marked
This article speaks about how a innocent boy from Cleveland aged 12 was shot to death by policemen. He was shot as they policemen believed the gun he had was real, when it was really fake and the person who called the police on Tamir, the 12 year old boy stated that he may have thought the gun was fake but didn't know. The policemen said they didn't know of this.
I believe from this story that it is a very low point for the police force. One reason being it was a 12 year old kid in a playground out in public and to shoot this kid twice is very bad. Another thing being that when the kid got phoned on by someone they stated it may be a fake gun and yet they still shot him and from the article it stated that it didn't look that real neither.
The media side to all of this is that it is getting a lot of coverage on social networking sites and mainly on Twitter as this is where I first read about the story.
