No Criminal Charges For Police Officers Who Shot Tamir Rice - BuzzFeed News: "A grand jury in Cleveland declined Monday to criminally charge two police officers who shot and killed Tamir Rice.
Rice, 12, was shot and killed in a public park in November 2014 after two Cleveland police officers, Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback, mistook his toy gun for a real weapon.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said at a press conference that he had, too, recommended that no charges be brought against the officers, saying that the “perfect storm of human error” that led to Rice’s death did not raise to the level of criminality.
“The death of Tamir Rice was an absolute tragedy,” McGinty said, “but it was not, by the law that binds us, a crime.”"
