WASHINGTON — The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it would not bring federal criminal charges against two Cleveland police officers in the 2014 death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, saying video of the shooting was of too poor a quality for prosecutors to conclusively establish what had happened.


How does the investigation take over 6 years?

The dumb frick pointed a weapon at police officers, too bad his parenting was terrible and he ended up a statistic. Those who parrot the toy gun line have no clue about police work. We were taught as kids that you NEVER point a weapon a people, much less a police officer, b/c you were going to be killed. And yes we played w/ all kind of Army surplus weapons that were more realistic.

Good. It was justified. Don't point a fake weapon at anyone, especially officers. His parents have no one to blame but themselves and their culture for promoting this behavior.

Case closed.

ETA:
It doesn’t surprise me it took the federal government six years to close a case that should have taken no more than 6 minutes. What does amaze me though is how many people want that same federal government in charge of their healthcare and day to day life.

This one is the shooting people should have protested. From what I can see, cops rolled up and started shooting instantly.

The police initial statements don't line up at all with the footage.

Don’t worry. The election is over so there’ll be no rich Democrats with an agenda to pay race baiting violence inciters because there’s no election to sway.

The video doesn't support that. Hell, the car hadn't stopped rolling before he was killed.

The police said they warned him multiple times to put his hands up, which never happened.

I’m sure every effort made over these past 6 years was to find a way to charge and convict those officers.

They didn’t spend that time in a true pursuit of justice.

They never warned him or he never put his hands up?

Nope. That's not what happened. LINK

The person who called 911 reported it was probably a fake gun and a juvenile, this was never conveyed to the cops.

The police lied saying they repeatedly warned Rice. The video doesn't show anyone pointing a gun at the cops, the kid never had time.

Well warnings aren't required...so they can't use that to charge them.

Did they lie or are they mistaken?

You have to be able to prove the difference.
