Black Lives Matter group holds rally after grand jury decision
Frank Garmback, the training officer who drove the cruiser that day, and Timothy Loehmann, the officer who shot Tamir, might have acted differently if they’d been given that information, said Michael Maloney, Garmback’s attorney.

The Cleveland committee will review grand jury proceedings and all reports in Rice’s shooting, officials said.
It was not until after the shooting, with the gun on the ground, that police learned that the boy, Tamir Rice, was playing with a replica firearm that shoots nonlethal plastic pellets, the lawyers said on Tuesday. Loehmann was in a patrol vehicle driven by his partner Frank Garmback. Perhaps the most famous example of how those stereotypes were perpetuated came with the 1915 release of “Birth of a Nation”, a post-Civil War film that suggested newly freed brute-like and morally deviant black men would rape and pillage the USA without white supremacist rule.
Within two seconds of the arrival of the police, it is acceptable that a 12-year-old is dead. It is imperative to state that the Police department had reached a settlement with the Department of Justice earlier this year to overhaul its use of force. “Now for the dispatcher not to tell the police officer that the gun was a toy gun – that was not a mistake”. And there remain too many unanswered questions about the process that led to this grand jury’s decision not to indict Timothy Loehmann, the officer who fatally shot Tamir. “This is ridiculous” Terri Tolefree said of the grand jury decision.
Not In Our Town said Tuesday’s gathering at the Yellowstone County Courthouse lawn is not a protest, but rather a sign of support for the victim and his family.
“Right here in Wilmington there were four fatalities by law enforcement and no justice was served and this was a national problem as well, but we won’t forget, we won’t stop until justice is served”, Patrick said. On Monday, prosecutors said a grand jury concluded that Loehmann reasonably believed that it was a real gun and that his life was in danger.

In detailing the decision not to bring charges, McGinty said police radio personnel contributed to the tragedy by failing to pass along the “all-important fact” that the 911 caller said the gunman was probably a youngster and the gun probably wasn’t real. The officers have been on restricted duty since the shooting and will remain so through an administrative review police said. Protestors told us their chants are cries for change and calls for justice.
