Tamir never had a chance. Within two seconds, two bullets were pumped into his stomach, and they never tried to give him first aid.
Tamir never had a chance. Before the grand jury was chosen, Prosecutor Timothy McGinty released a report from a so-called independent panel that concluded the shooting was “reasonable” by the Cleveland officers because they feared for their lives.
Tamir never had a chance, because the county prosecutor pleaded for the grand jury not to indict. So, the case was sabotaged from the beginning to the end.
The mayor and the chief of police want the people of Cleveland to wait on the process.
We waited on the process for Michael Pipkins. We waited on the process for Brandon McCloud. We waited on the process for Timothy Russell. We waited on the process for Malissa Williams. We waited on the process for Tamir Rice.
So tell me — how long is the process?
