The barrel on the airsoft gun had no orange safety indicator and was all black. It looked like a real gun. Also, police officers cannot be suspected to die because the armed person is a child. Lastly, he wasn't just acting to protect himself, but the other officer(s) at the scene and any bystanders.
You're an idiot if you think that police officers should be expected to die because the person with a gun (what was later discovered to not be a real one) is a child. The cop also did NOT, I repeat, did NOT, think he did good. He is distraught over the incident.
Also, why are you even trying to pull the racism card? If Tamir Rice was white, I guarantee that you wouldn't give two fucks.
They drove right up next to the boy, they saw the gun. They should of been able to tell the difference between a fake and a real gun.
