It fires pellets at high velocity capable of injury or death.   Since 2002, the City of Cleveland considers BB and Pellet guns to be &#8220;firearms&#8221; in every legal sense.  The ordinance was passed following a murder in 2001.  Real guns don&#8217;t have orange tips.<\/p>\n<p>The police account is that upon arriving, they ordered the young man to put his arms in the air.  He didn&#8217;t.   Instead he reached for his waistband to pull out the handgun.  One of the two officers fired twice.   The 12 year old died in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>His mother lives across the street and doesn&#8217;t understand why her son is dead.  She already has an attorney to play the lawsuit lottery.<\/p>\n<p>The skin color and\/or ethnic identity of the police officers has not been mentioned in the press.  A visit by Al Sharpton seems unlikely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mayor of Cleveland Ohio is as black as President Obama The Chief of Police in Cleveland is black The 911 operator is black The 12 year old guy pointing a gun at strangers near a transit station is black &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/?p=11520\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[108,119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-collapse-of-america","category-gun-ownership"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11520"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11520\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11523,"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11520\/revisions\/11523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streamingradioguide.com\/startingover\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
