Tamir Rice supporters protest in Cincinnati day after no indictment

The words of an assistant prosecutor who handled the Rice case – one of the most high-profile and controversial US cases of black death by police over the a year ago – were most searing for Welbeck.

Watson certainly lived up to the hype of being a Heisman finalist, accounting for 332 yards and earning the offensive MVP award. Wayne Gallman got the scoring started on the 1st drive of the half with a 1 yard touchdown to make it 23-17 Tigers.

They marched along downtown streets, blocking traffic and forming circles at major intersections. 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 US without white supremacist rule.

Cleveland police have been directing traffic around the protesters. He said flat-out at this week’s press conference, “We don’t second guess police officers”.

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.

Demonstrators called for the resignation of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty, as well as the resignations of Timothy Loehmann – the officer who fatally shot Tamir within seconds of arriving at the Cudell Recreation Center on November 22, 2014 – and Loehmann’s partner, Frank Garmback.

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.

Rice either meant to hand over the gun or show the officers it was not real McGinty said ‘but there was no way for the officers to know that.’ The Airsoft replica of a.45-caliber semiautomatic handgun usually has an orange tip on it but Rice’s gun did not. 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. 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.

“It’s a classic case of police officers making unfounded assumptions coming in guns blazing before clarifying what’s really going on”, protester Thurman Wenzl said.

The group is also asking for the Mayor’s office to review how the city handles arbitration with the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association.

Lawyers for the Rice family also called on people to express themselves “peacefully and democratically”.

Katz said the city officials might want to cut their losses and settle with the Rice family.
