While most of our attention has been focused on Fitzgerald, Police in Cleveland have murdered a black child, Tamir Rice.  The surveillance video covering the scene makes it crystal clear that the account of the killing by the police could not be true.  They did not even have the decency to try to save Tamir\u2019s life.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"1129TamirRice\"The Cleveland officers who shot a 12-year-old boy holding a toy gun then failed to give him first aid for nearly four minutes<\/a>. The boy was finally administered first aid when a detective and FBI agent arrived at the scene. <\/p>\n

But it was too late. The boy, Tamir Rice, died after being transported to the hospital. <\/p>\n

According to newly surveillance video, Rice was shot by the officers within two seconds of their arrival at the scene. <\/p>\n

A department spokesman told a local ABC station he \u201cwas unsure of the policy related to how and when officers are required to provide medical assistance<\/a>.\u201d The officers\u2019 conduct is \u201cunder investigation.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is the complete surveillance video of the incident.<\/font><\/p>\n
