Feds drop charges against officers in Tamir Rice case
The Justice Department declined to criminally prosecute Cleveland officers Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback for civil rights violations over Tamir Rice’s 2014 death. Poor quality surveillance video could not prove the officers willfully violated law, while conflicting witness accounts and lack of audio hindered determinations of Rice’s actions before the shot. The decision ends the federal probe into a case that energized national discussions on police use of force against minors.
