One surrendered the other did not. Hope that helps.
After watching the video it is clear that Tamir never had a chance to surrender.
The video has no sound. The police probably gave him instructions to put his hands up through their bullhorn. He ignored and reached for his BB gun. They obviously saw him as a threat, so they fired. It's tragedy. Nothing more to really make of it.
What would you like us to believe? That two cops just decided to run up on a 12 year old black kid and shoot him because he's black? That story is great for the race hustlers, but in the real world it doesn't happen.
It's possible but it's clear in the video as soon as they pulled up, the rookie cop came out firing.
Kind of like this cop, when he asked for his license, then while going for the license, he shot him.
Thank god he got charged. This reckless activity by cops is ridiculous. Unfortunately, cops have to shoot to kill so the person can't tell their side of the story so only the officer's version of the events can be heard so they get off. So there is a huge reward for cops to shoot to kill.
