Surveillance video released of Cleveland police shooting 12-year-old Tamir Rice (Warning: graphic)

On Saturday, November 22, a 911 caller alerted police that a young man outside a recreation center appeared to have a gun. Although the caller twice noted they didn't believe it was a real gun and the person appeared to be a juvenile, police claim that was not relayed to the officers and they arrived in full force.

Officers arrived on the scene:

A rookie officer and a 10-15 year veteran pulled into the parking lot and saw a few people sitting underneath a pavilion next to the center. The rookie officer saw a black gun sitting on the table, and he saw the boy pick up the gun and put it in his waistband, Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association President Jeffrey Follmer said.

The officer got out of the car and told the boy to put his hands up. The boy reached into his waistband, pulled out the gun and the rookie officer fired two shots, Tomba said.

Tomba said the child did not threaten the officer verbally or physically.

Tamir Rice was only 12 years old and died from the injuries the following morning.

Surveillance video has been released and it is disturbing. It shows the officer firing on Tamir Rice within two seconds of arriving on the scene.

A Cleveland police officer fatally shot Tamir Rice immediately after leaving his moving patrol car while his partner stayed at the wheel, surveillance video shows.

The video can be seen below. Warning: it is graphic.
