    About to watch the video. I don't think I could sleep at night knowing I let my son play with a fake gun around town, then he gets killed.

    Cotdamn lmao, I think this is the first time I've been called a ? on here.

    Are y'all parents? I am.
    Are y'all black? I am.

    Do you live in America? I do.

    Quit the fairy tale BS.

    @jetlifebih , nah my kid can't play with toy BB guns.

    Not at the park.
    Not at the mall.
    Not in the neighborhood.
    Not anywhere.

    I know how America and racist white people are. I won't do him the disservice to PRETEND otherwise.

    @LPast She did not know he had it. He got it from a friend. She did not allow him to play with toy guns.

    And even if she gave him the toy gun it is legal to open carry in Ohio. So there are no excuses.

    Then I'm wrong. Simple as that.

    But feel like some of y'all other posters are being naive to the facts. Our kids don't get the benefit of the doubt.

    Even if she did, it was a toy and based on the video i saw if it's the right one the cops drove up and shot him didn't even get out the car. Either way this country is headed for self destruction

    WTF does she want the man to do. Does she understand how the government is even set up. It's ? up how her son lost his life, but her anger is directed at the wrong person. She acting like Obama can just make phone call and magic happens.

    I hope this sets a precedent in people (black people) beginning to call Obama out for passivity, in regards to police genocide on black men.

    tough spot..

    I understand her anger but she is blaming the President for the actions of the local police. u gotta start at home. hold the mayor accountable. the president didn't interview these cops and he doesn't know them. the mayor does. how does he sleep at night knowing he has child killers on his police force. the local government is able to work with the state government and push change.

    It's the moms fault, the child's fault. Not white supremacy and killer cops?

    Mind boggling.

    The pig was deemed incompetent and not fit to handle Firearms at his previous police gig but Cleveland hired him anyway
