Cleveland Police Filed Charges On Tamir Rice To Justify Shooting Him

Cleveland police charged 12-year-old Tamir Rice with “aggravated menacing” and “inducing panic,” according to documents published by the Daily Kos on Wednesday. The incident report is dated Nov. 29, 2014, a week after Rice was fatally shot by 26-year-old Officer Timothy Loehmann within two seconds of encountering him at a local park. Neither Loehmann nor 46-year-old Officer Frank Garmback, who also responded to the call, administered medical treatment immediately following the shooting. The document lists a “facsimile firearm” as part of the case narrative. Loehmann killed Rice believing him to be carrying an actual weapon. However, emergency dispatchers were originally told that the Airsoft rifle the boy had with him at the time was “probably fake.” Footage from the scene also shows the officers handcuffing Rice’s sister.

CLEVELAND -- The very long-shot campaign to recall Mayor Frank Jackson filed the first legal paperwork to begin the push for a recall vote.

The affidavits filed with the City Council Clerk's office said Jackson should be recalled for "failure to responsibly discharge the duties of his office, his willful neglect to enforce the law and/or perform the official duties imposed on him by law and his nonfeasance in office."

The campaign plans to start circulating petitions at a Thursday rally. Slightly more than 12,000 signatures must be submitted within 30 days. If the effort comes up short, there's another 20 days to collect needed signatures.

The campaign has held four educational meetings around the city to spread its message and stir up support.

The group's leaders include lawyer/activist and onetime mayoral candidate Mike Nelson and longtime crusader for black contractors and workers Norman Edwards. Both are longtime, serious critics of Jackson.
