emergency dispatcher who took the call that led to the november 2014 shooting death of 12-year-old tamir riceuspension from the city's police chief, despite failing to inform responding officers that rice was "probably a juvenile" with the weapon that was "probably fake." the implications of rice's death have reached into academia with a new study from the american psychological association citing this tragedy, finding that black men are often perceived as more threatening than white ones, regardless of size, or in rice's case, age. it's a mentality we've seen time and time again in these kinds of police shootings of black males. joining me now is tamir's mother, samaria rice, and sibode chandra, attorney for the rice family. first, let me go to you, samaria. and thank you for coming on this morning. this was an outrage many of us stood with you, marched with you, rallied with you, and here we are with the dispatcher who never said after she was told by the caller that this was a kid and it might be a fake gun, never related that, so certainly was a contributing factor to what happened to you
