"Tamir Rice, the young man shot”
No fucking way. He was 12. He was a god damn little boy and you will NOT try to take that fact away by referring to him as a “young man”.
Tamir Rice was a child. He was years away from adulthood.
Don’t try to protect the police who did this. They murdered a child, let it be known.
can we just take a moment to discuss how on point these tweets are

- Tamir Rice was shot by rookie officer Timothy Loehmann, 26, after a 911 caller said he saw the boy with a gun that was ‘probably fake’ on Saturday
- But the dispatcher did not tell the officers that the gun might be fake
- Cops ‘told him to raise his hands’ but instead he reached for his waistband
- Officials said that it took four minutes for Rice to receive medical attention
- A spokesman for the mayors office said Loehmann and his colleague Frank Gramback, who was with him, are under investigation
- Rice’s family said he would be alive had Loehmann not acted so quickly
Are you following the story of young Tamir Rice? They’re already trying to tell us this 12-year old unarmed boy deserved to die— that he would have grown up to be a thug. Please spread the word of this child’s life. It mattered, and we won’t let them fool us into believing otherwise. #staywoke #farfromover
