It is in fact that opposing view that transforms one idea or belief into an argument. There are those who may say although there are certain similarities, that the presented cases do not have substantial corresponding evidence to prove that the Tamir Rice case should have had a similar outcome. Some may even call them completely irrelevant. They happened at different places with different people and circumstances. Many may say none of the victims in the other cases had a gun, or what looked to be a gun. When focusing on the big picture though, especially in the Tamir Rice shooting, time was a major factor. Loehmann fired at Tamir less than two seconds after arriving on the scene, almost instantly upon getting out of the squad car. Despite other small details, it is inarguable that those two seconds did not allow enough time for Loehmann himself to order Rice to drop the weapon. In fact, there is surveillance footage to prove that no orders were given. Without being given enough time to follow any type of order, Tamir had already been shot. Loehmann reacted hastily. Whether it had been due to protective instinct or simply use of excessive force, Loehmann’s actions resulted in the death of a young boy who was not even given the opportunity to inevitably save his own
