As if the situation inside the GOP convention venue wasn’t already wild enough, the scene outside was even crazier. In this instance, a protester wearing a t-shirt about Tamir Rice waved a toy gun in police officers’ faces and called them names:

For the record, let’s take another look at the toy pistol that Tamir Rice was holding when he was shot by police. It’s not cartoon green, and the bright orange safety tip had been removed.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, there was a urine fight reported outside the venue as well.

Obama invited this group to the WH, yet called cops racist at a memorial service. #FundamentalTransformation https://t.co/XwcOlxId7S
