After investigating for two-and-a-half years, the city of Cleveland, Ohio just fired Timothy Loehmann, the white officer who shot and killed a 12-year-old black child, Tamir Rice, in 2014. Tamir’s mother, Samaria Rice, responded, “Shame on the city of Cleveland for taking so long to render a decision like this.”
Of the three police officers at the scene, none were ever charged criminally–and Officer Loehmann was NOT fired for the murder of Tamir. What Cleveland officials found reprehensible–what merited firing–was that the officer lied on his job application!
Cleveland is sending a strong message that accurate paperwork is what’s important–and not human life!
