Tamir Rice's (Dead KID!)Family Believe No Charges Coming for Two Officers

Subodh Chandra, a Cleveland attorney who represents the Rice family in a federal civil rights lawsuit over the shooting, said he has resigned himself to the belief that the officers, both white, won't be indicted.
"This is apparently how long it takes to engineer denying justice to a family when the video of the incident clearly illustrates probable cause to charge the officer," Chandra said.
Unlike criminal trials, in which prosecutors must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt for a conviction, the burden of proof for an indictment is much lower. The grand jury would have to decide only that a crime might have been committed to indict the officers.
Activists used an obscure state law in June to petition a Cleveland judge to charge the officers. The judge ruled there was probable cause to charge Loehmann with murder and Garmback with reckless homicide based on the video, but he said the decision on criminal charges should be left to prosecutors.

Hard to believe the jury has been meeting since mid-October. They have to indict, right? This isn't Michael Brown where all the evidence pointed to a justified shooting. This is a 12-year old in a park who was shot dead within 2 seconds of coming in contact with the police. There's video showing the timeline and how it does not jive with anything the police are saying.
How can they not AT LEAST bring this to trial before a real jury?

Kid was asking for it. The cops perceived him to be a threat. If it's ok with the cops it's ok with me.

I really hope there's an Uncle Ben in the Rice family.

Did you not see the video? Cop pulls up and the kid goes for gun in his waistband.

Cops should be innocent here.
12 year olds are perfectly capable of being gun pulling cop killing toos.
Sad situation but Darwin at work

Do we riot now?

I believe these cops were just waiting for the perfect chance to murder a black kid. This was the moment they dreamed of. This is why they even went to police academy. To murder one black kid.

good! Shouldny be any charges, the cops did everyone a favor by taking that thug off the streets

You mean the large kid threatening people in the park with a gun that looked real?
Only a matter of time until he killed someone for real and made a bunch of new criminal babies.
Probably better that he was snuffed out early before he did any more harm to society.

What I remember from the video is how fricking stupid the cop driving the police car was. The dumbass pulls up literally 20-30 feet away from the kid on his partners side. The cop on the passenger side gets out and is confronted with a kid with a gun right in front of him and blasts him.
It was terrible tactics all around. The cops should have parked a distance away from the kid and used the car for cover and told the dumbass kid to drop the gun instead of pulling a robocop on him.

Not reading all the post. But, cops get call, person with gun in a known drug infested park in the hood, roll up, person of question reaches for gun....dumbass kid...got killed....no fault on these officers. This is not super slow motion replay to determine if the player caught the ball or not.

There has to be accountability on both sides. You can't point fake, toy guns at people. End of discussion. In today's climate, "innocent acts" and fooling around will get you killed by a civilian let alone a cop.

Thank you for posting (dead kid!) in your title, so I knew that you were trying to illicit an emotional response as opposed to a logical one.

When people begin to realize that police officers, DAs, and judges are immune to this type of shite; they will reconsider posting this bullshite in a thread.
