In response to the,shooting of 12 year old boy, Temir Rice, Anonymous,Hactivists have shut down the official,site for the City of Cleveland, launching,their attack. Temir Rice was shot,twice by police after a phone call was placed to 911 stating that,someone may have a gun, but that it was most likely a fake one.
The police,arrived on the scene shortly after and,requested Temir Rice to raise his hands. When he reached,towards his belt instead, they shot him twice to disable him. He later died of the,wounds in hospital.
Anonymous are blaming the training for the police rather than the rookie police officers. In operation #TangoDown, Anonymous aimed,their attack at the City of Cleveland and the police departments, raising the question of lethal force,used against a child when options such as the Taser were available. The child was,discovered to be armed with a BB gun.
Anonymous vow to tackle the issue of the poorly trained police officers not only in Cleveland, but across the country.
