Don't carry concealed when it'd be illegal, don't carry your gun in an irresponsible manner (like pointing it at people or in inappropriate directions), and don't make quick movements to your gun when the police show up sound like good places to start

He wasn't carrying a gun

An airsoft gun with the tip removed may as well be a gun and I believe in some states is considered one for crimes.

When used to commit a crime, yes. That's irrelevant to this case though, because in Ohio it's not a crime to carry an airsoft gun. It's not even illegal to remove the orange tip � they aren't mandatory for pellet guns.

Then why bring up open carry in the first place?

I didn't, it seems to be a distraction to me. But as Stereotype said it feels wrong for a black child to be killed by police in a drive-by for having a toy gun, when white adults are allowed to open carry real ones.

The problem wasn't that Tamir simply had something that appeared to be a gun. What he was doing with the airsoft gun that instigated the 911 call and how he reacted when the police drove up (neither of which are OK under open carry) is part of the problem.

It being a pellet gun rather than a real gun has everything to do with what he was doing and how he reacted.

The DA who spiked his case has already said exactly that, in case you weren't angry enough.

Change of pace:

police are just using attack did indiscriminately

e: like text messages planning to just have a dog attack a guy before they even show up

quote:

The memorandum states that Bush�s messages to Dietz when responding to the call at the Lemay residence were �unprofessional� and violated the police department�s rules pertaining to its policies on using mobile digital terminals.

�E-mails and Messages sent via the (mobile digital terminal) are public record, and employees will be held accountable for the content of the messages,� the memorandum states. �This memorandum of counseling shall be characterized as a corrective rather than punitive action. Further violations will result in progressive discipline.�

So "don't put it in writing you idiots", basically

These general law enforcement threads just aren't working out. As always, somebody can make a thread for the next incident that happens.
