Grand jury declines indicting rookie officer in Tamir Rice shooting
A Cleveland grand jury declined to indict white rookie officer Timothy Loehmann in the 12 year old Tamir Rice death, saying no criminal conduct by police was proven. Prosecutor Tim McGinty cited a “perfect storm” of errors and miscommunications and said Loehmann had reason to fear for his life as he fired within two seconds of stopping. The decision spurred protests and led to barricades at the courthouse while Rice’s family urged peaceful demonstration.
