Tamir Rice protesters need Cleveland prosecutor to step down
According to NBC News, more than 100 people gathered outside the home of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty at the height of the peaceful protest.

The Rev. Larry Macon Sr., head of the United Pastors in Mission and pastor at Mt. Zion, did not return voicemails seeking comment Monday.
Emails sent to WCPN by the Mount Zion Church – where the meeting was to be held – say those plans are canceled, but gave no reason and did not say if the meeting might be rescheduled.
“But we would hope that people will also respect the decision made (by) another group of citizens – the members of the grand jury”, Frolik said in a statement.
“We were happy to get the invitation, we were happy to accept, and we look forward to talking to the organization and answer any questions they may have”, Frolik said.
Protesters angered by the decision last week not to indict two white police officers in the shooting death of a 12-year-old African American boy (who had been wielding a pellet gun when he was shot) took to the streets of Cleveland again on Friday. Loehmann, who said the boy appeared to be a man in his 20s, shot and killed Tamir just two seconds after he arrived on scene.
McGinty said police radio personnel contributed to the tragedy by failing to pass along the “all-important fact” that a 911 caller said the gunman was probably a juvenile and the gun probably was not real.
On Monday, a grand jury declined to indict both of the officers on criminal charges.

The decision, announced December 28, touched off several days of protests, including a march outside McGinty’s home on Cleveland’s West Side.
