Coalition makes several demands in response to Tamir Rice decision
A grand jury cleared two Cleveland police officers on Monday in the November 2014 fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice who was brandishing a toy gun in a park and a prosecutor said there were a series of mistakes but no criminal activity. He said the dispatcher’s failure to provide the information about the “fake gun” was key to the case.

Lexington, South Carolina (CNN)GOP presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, weighing in on the decision not to indict police officers in last year’s shooting of Tamir Rice, said a grand jury has made a decision and that “the process worked”. The coalition has not yet said who they’ll support for prosecutor.
The fact that those caveats never reached Officer Loehmann – who shot the child within seconds of arriving on the scene – was more than just an administrative misstep.
Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County prosecutor Tim McGinty says his office was required ethically to tell the grand jury they didn’t think a conviction was likely.
Maloney said Garmback was relieved by the grand jury’s decision, which Tamir’s family has condemned.
Loehmann’s attorney said the officer bears a heavy burden, too.
Tamir’s family condemned the decision but echoed the prosecutor in urging those disappointed to express themselves “peacefully and democratically”.
Bush has previously been critical of President Obama’s administration and the USA attorney general for getting involved in local matters and “politicizing” cases involving police shootings.
Gov. John Kasich called Tamir’s death a “heartbreaking tragedy”.
“The stereotypes stand in for the actual lived-lives of human beings”, Glaude, who is black and a father to a 19-year-old son in college, said in a phone interview Tuesday. The prosecutor conceded that Tamir might have been trying to show to the cops that the gun was real but the officer and his partner had no way of knowing that. Rice was shot while playing with what turned out to be a pellet gun.
The author, Ari Melber, is critical of McGinty for seeking a non-indictment, and taking a defense oriented position — rather than presenting neutral evidence for consideration. Those were released in October.
Protesters ignored police orders to stay to the right of double yellow lines in the middle of the road, and at times refused to follow the route that officers blocked off for them.

But the OH governor argued that protesters need to have their voices heard and said he thought the U.S. Department of Justice’s continued investigation into the death of Tamir Rice was appropriate.
