12 year old Cleveland Youth Gunned Down By Police

Cleveland police have now released surveillance footage of 12-year-old Tamir Rice being shot by rookie officer Timothy Loehmann literally seconds after pulling up and exiting his vehicle. Deputy Chief Edward Tomba confirmed today that the officer shot the African-American pre-teen just "1 ½-2 seconds" after arriving at the scene.

A police spokesman said, "Upon arrival on scene, officers located the suspect and advised him to raise his hands. The suspect did not comply with the officers' orders and reached to his waistband for the gun. Shots were fired and the suspect was struck in the torso."

The gun in question was a toy, not unlike the BB gun fellow Ohio resident, 22-year-old John Crawford, was carrying in a Wal-Mart when he was gunned down by officers earlier this year.

According to the Police Chief, Loehmann claims he ordered Rice to raise his hands three times by yelling from the passenger seat of the cop car as they approached. Police have released the video at the request of Rice's family.

Didn't plan on selling it Kuz of label problems. It's a dope album. Got a lot of great feedback and millions of streams."

Lakers Fire Head Coach Mike Brown After Horrible Season Start

Unfortunately for the now former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Mike Brown, has officially faced the music and been fired from his head coaching position. According to sources who reached out to ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne, Brown's job was walking the plank looking out onto treacherous waters below after a more than disappointing 1-4 start to the Lakers season, which is the worst in the Western Conference. Two potential candidates are being offered the head coaching spot on an interim basis according to the source; assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff or Chuck Person. Brown has to be stressed, but at the end of the day, anyone who knows basketball knows the deal. If the coach isn't helping the team produce winning results, then he has to go. The Lakers are sporting an incredibly expensive payroll as well which is just over $100 million as they have (on paper at least) a monstrous lineup of quality talent in Kobe Bryant (who is battling a foot injury), ...
