By the sixth over, they were three down for just 12 runs, much to the delight of a packed crowd of Afghanistan supporters. However, Zimbabwe could only muster a woeful score of 82 in reply as only three batsmen made it to double figures.
“The actions of officers Garmback and Loehmann were not criminal”, McGinty said.

Adam [Gase] did a good job at play calling for us, and just kind of keeping us in rhythm, not letting us get out of control. Cutler doesn’t get enough credit for his mobility but his elusiveness was certainly on display Sunday.
Black Lives Matter Cincinnati will host a protest and rally in solidarity with organizers in Cleveland and Tamir Rice’s family on Tuesday at Findlay Playground at 6 p.m.
Monday, when the decision was finally announced, Vox’s German Lopez filled in some more context.
Loehmann and Garmback’s legal issues haven’t ended with the grand jury decision. Rice’s poor decision to reach for the butt of his gun forced Officer Loehmann to respond as any officer following his training would.
Prosecutors said in a report released Monday that the gun Tamir was carrying – at the top and right – was “functionally identical” to the real one pictured at the bottom left. It was missing its telltale orange tip, CBS News reported. But the 911 call taker didn’t relay that information to the dispatcher who gave the officers their high-priority radio assignment for what is known in police parlance as a “gun run”. He said that because of that new enhancement, “it is now indisputable that Tamir was drawing his gun from his waist as the police auto slid toward him and Officer Loehmann exited the vehicle”.
Mr McGinty said the death was a “tragedy” but not a crime.
Cleveland police escorted the group the entire march.
In May, the Cleveland police reached a settlement with the Justice Department, which called for the police to enact some reforms to counter the department’s reputation of using excessive force. The settlement was prompted in part by a November 2012 high-speed auto chase that ended with the killing of a couple in a 137-shot barrage of police gunfire.
They accused Mr McGinty of “abusing and manipulating the grand jury process to orchestrate a vote against indictment”. He was facing us, ” Loehmann said in his statement to investigators.
The family renewed its demand for the U.S. Justice Department to conduct “a real investigation” into the incident. “The prosecutor conducted the investigation in a manner that I believe inappropriate and as a result he has lost the trust and confidence of our community, and, indeed, mine as well”.

Then, Prosecutor McGinty allowed the police officers to take the oath and read prepared statements to the grand jury without answering any questions on cross-examination. “Dash cameras are on the way for city police and suburban departments”.
Steve Loomis, president of Cleveland’s largest police union, said the organization was pleased with the grand jury’s finding but added the decision “is no cause for celebration, and there will be none”.
McGinty said he agreed with the grand jury decision.
Undeterred by hail storms and sleet, protesters chanted, “Indict, convict, send those killer cops to jail”.

The grand jury had been hearing evidence and testimony since mid-October. Non-police suspects would have never received such a special treatment.
