Cleveland, Ohio – In the months since police shot and killed
12-year-old Tamir Rice for playing with a toy gun in a park, the
Cleveland Police Department has insisted that there was no wrongdoing on
the part of the officer. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary,
thus far the police department has indicated that they believe that the
12-year-old boy was responsible for his own murder because he was
playing with a toy gun in public.
The Rice family fears that this case could end up like that of Eric Garner and the number of other police murders where officers were not indicted after killing someone on video. To avoid this, the family of Tamir Rice will be attempting to bypass the grand jury system and ask for direct charges to be brought against Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann.
Grand juries very rarely indict police officers for murdering innocent people, and many people are suspicious that prosecutors are complicit in allowing cops to walk free when they are guilty of crimes.
