Went for his waistband? That's a new one!
As I've noted before, I had more freedom as a boy in the Shah's Iran than most children do today in the land of the Second Amendment.
Fun times in Cleveland again...
Thing is, this is the second shooting of a person of color with a non-firearm by Ohio "Only Ones" that's occurred after AG Mike DeWine washed his hands of making sure they are properly trained on dealing with citizens they see with guns...
The attorney for John Crawford's family never acknowledged this, so I don't know if he's going to pursue it:

Perhaps attorney Timothy J. Kucharski representing the family of Tamir Rice will show some interest. Because it seems all the "legitimate news media" wants to do is point out there was no orange tip, repeat the waistband allegation, and not tell us the names of "the officers [who] have been placed on administrative leave."

"went for his waistband" . . . those waistbands are dangerous weapons, donchya know! Also, that's NOT a new one . . . it's as old and oft-used by our "servants" as the other 999 self-exculpatory excuses for official murder. Higher standard, indeed!! Rules Of Engagement? Force Continuums? He, he! Those are just for the Plebeians!
Yes, it's "trending" now, which is to say the Progressives/Aggregators are fanning the flames.
You write:

Indeed, me too. In the old days, we kids on the playground, during recess, brought out our toy guns and played Man from U.N.C.L.E. -- I was always Solo.
Did you watch Stossel this weekend? Very timely to what you are saying. I was a free-range kid. You?
