In addition to the potential legal and financial consequences is the human cost. After this investigation-which took over a year to unfold-and Prosecutor McGinty’s mishandling of this case, we no longer trust the local criminal-justice system, which we view as corrupt.

“My family and I are in pain and devastated by the non-indictment of officers Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback for the murder of our beloved Tamir”.

Within two seconds of the arrival of the police, it is acceptable that a 12-year-old is dead. That disregard pervades every aspect of this case and begins with the fact that the department failed to even review Officer Loehmann’s work history before giving him the power of life and death over the citizens of Cleveland. “That memory will never go away”.

Cleveland’s reputation has suffered because of some well-publicized police shootings, including the killings of two unarmed black people in a 137-shot barrage of police gunfire at the end of a 2012 auto chase. Defense attorneys in the case successfully argued the officers’ actions could therefore not be interpreted as being criminal since there was no way of telling whether the boy’s toy gun was not real.

“What happened to Tamir Rice and the [grand jury’s] non-decision was… a surprise, but at the time same time, it’s expected”, said Nino Brown, a fellow organizer. A judge ultimately acquitted the patrolman of manslaughter.

“For it to have fallen on the ground, it would have had to have been in Tamir’s hand, which means he would have had to have pulled that gun out”, he said.

Cleveland – a city of 390,000 that is more than 50 percent African-American – pledged in May to overhaul its police force and aspire to “bias-free” law enforcement, under an agreement with the Justice Department. According to the group’s organizers, Tuesday’s actions were in line with the wishes of the Rice family. Augustus Corbett’s 21-year-old son is 6-feet-3-inches tall and is “a man at this point in his life”, he said in a phone interview Tuesday. The first of those questions is why the dispatcher failed to pass along to the responding officer essential details that the suspect was likely a juvenile, possibly waving a toy gun.

Latimer said he’d like to see protesters target Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson as well as McGinty, and possibly encourage a federal civil rights case against Cleveland police or Loehmann.

The family is suing the city.
