From the website:
“Brandon Blackwell, Northeast Ohio Media Group 47 minutes ago
I reported the criminal histories of Tamir Rice’s parents to put the 12-year-old boy’s life into context. The histories did not cause a police officer to shoot Tamir, nor do they justify it. The histories give a glimpse into Tamir’s life. What did he experience growing up? Who were his role models? Did he have past interaction with police because of his parents? What were those interactions like? Did he grow up in a gun-owning household? How did he come to be randomly aiming a real-looking gun outside a Cleveland recreation center? This context matters.”
