Grand jury clears Cleveland officers in Tamir Rice shooting
After a yearlong probe, a Cuyahoga County grand jury declined to indict Tim Loehmann and Frank Garmback in the November 2014 death of 12 year old Tamir Rice in a Cleveland park. Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said the officers acted reasonably and no criminal conduct was found. The decision follows broader questions about police use of force and the grand jury process.
