How's that for some alliteration, bitches?
Anyway the cop was was suspended for "emotional instability" and "dismal firearm scores".
The plot thickens.

A police officer who shot a 12-year-old dead in a Cleveland park late last month had been judged unfit for police service two years earlier by a small suburban force where he worked for six months, according to records released on Wednesday.
Officer Timothy Loehmann, who killed Tamir Rice on 22 November, was specifically faulted for breaking down emotionally while handling a live gun. During a training episode at a firing range, Loehmann was reported to be “distracted and weepy” and incommunicative. “His handgun performance was dismal,” deputy chief Jim Polak of the Independence, Ohio, police department wrote in an internal memo.
The memo concludes with a recommendation that Loehmann be “released from the employment of the City of Independence”. Less than a week later, on 3 December 2012, Loehmann resigned.

Awesome.
I hope Cleveland goes bankrupt paying the kid's family.

What? A cop can't handle the stress of the suburbs and decides to work in the inner city?

Cops getting kicked off from one force and getting hired at another department. If they lose a good job, then there will be a shittier department that will hire them regardless of how they got fired.

Oh, yeah. I know a cop that got kicked off the force for putting a girl out on the side of a dark county road. She was later found beaten almost to death and hypothermic after getting gang raped and left for dead in a ditch.
Six months later he was working for the department one city to the north.
Damn, police departments sure do have high standards.

Departments just want warm bodies to pay union dues.

His actions will nonetheless be defended by more than a few people on here

A federal review of policing in Cleveland found that officers' use of unreasonable force was part of a pattern of behavior that was in some cases endorsed by supervisors.
The Justice Department's scathing findings, disclosed Thursday as a wave of protests took aim at police conduct in Ferguson, Mo., and New York, were relayed to city officials in a 58-page summary of a 21-month investigation into policing operations.

Haha what a girl.
But seriously, pigs suck.

That report is pretty damning.
Cleveland was the lead on CNN this morning.
Looks like protests will reach a critical mass soon. Now, we just need an unarmed white guy, asian guy and a hispanic woman to get shot in the next three months to see some real change.

You right bra. Next time I need help I'm calling a rioter. ... but your username is prince of fools.
That being said, I am one that usually gives the pigs the benefit of the doubt. The first time I saw the video of that shooting I knew they were wrong. What amazes me is no one has said anything about the driver. The driver drives right up to the kid putting the passenger much too close to the suspect. This was a bad shooting by any standards I can come up with.

This is a tragic situation but this is the fake gun the kid pulled.

And?
I had something very similar in the early 90s. Big fricking deal.
The fact that cops can justify any shooting with the ill-defined and nebulous, "I felt threatened." is a bunch of bullshite.
And this cop has a documented history of "emotional instability."
