It’s been 8 years since two white police officers executed 12-year-old Tamir Rice. They shot him through the open window of their car before it had even come to a full stop- that’s how quickly they shot him. The citizen who called 911 to report Tamir said, multiple times, that he was clearly a juvenile and that they were pretty sure the gun he was holding was a fake toy. Multiple times they reiterated that.
I think about this baby all the time. I think about his mother *all* the time. The death of Tamir Rice fundamentally changed something inside of me. It changed my worldview. It changed how I respond to the events around me. It hardened how I view the police in this country and it softened how I view those who push back against them. It changed me. So many incidents, so many unfathomably evil and stunningly wrong incidents, so many countless innocent lives lost to excessive police violence before and since the world lost Tamir Rice. But for me, it always comes back to him. Tamir Rice fundamentally changed my heart and I think about him all the time.
