Cant wait to see how Republicans rationalize this. Patrol officer Timothy Loehmann shot Tamir in the abdomen within two seconds of a patrol car stopping near the boy on Nov. 22. He died the next day. Tamir’s family gave the city permission to release another version of the video days after the shooting. That video shows Tamir in a park near a recreation center carrying what turned out to be an airsoft-type gun that shoots non-lethal plastic pellets. That video ends with Loehmann shooting Tamir The new video begins with the shooting of Tamir. About 90 seconds later, Tamir’s sister, whose name has not been released, runs toward her fallen brother and Garmback immediately pushes her to the ground. Garmback and another officer are then shown handcuffing the struggling teen and finally placing her in the back seat of Loehmann and Garmback’s patrol car. Walter Madison, an attorney for the family, called the treatment of the 14-year-old sister, who he would not name, “the cruelest thing I’ve ever seen on video.” He also criticized the officers for not providing Tamir with medical attention. An FBI agent on a bank robbery detail nearby arrived about four minutes after the shooting and began first aid.
