The hands will kill you
According to Fox News, Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association President Jeff Follmer has indicated that the officer-involved shooting of a 12-year-old was caught on surveillance video. Tamir E. Rice, 12, died Sunday after being shot in the abdomen in the playground of Cleveland’s Cudell Recreation Center Saturday evening. Police were called to reports of a male waving and pointing what appeared to be a gun at people in the playground. Follmer said when officers arrived at the scene, they commanded the boy put his hands up.
“I can tell you the officer that fired had no clue that he was 12, he just thought it was an older male — there was more concentration on his hands because we are taught in the academy that hands will kill you,” he said.
