Timothy Loehmann, free to kill again in the name of the police
Cleveland police officer, Timothy Loehmann, who shot Tamir Rice while he was playing with a toy gun outside a recreation ctr., has been hired as an officer in eastern Ohio. After this child was shot, Loehmann and his partner didn't even have the decency to administer proper first aid. When Tamir's sister tried to run to her brother, she was arrested. Loehmann was fired after this incident, not because he murdered this child, but because his superior found out he had previously been deemed "unfit for duty." One of Ohio's finest! Deemed unfit for duty before he even murders a child, hired by another police force.

Re: Timothy Loehmann, free to kill again in the name of the police
Yeah...I read that earlier and his old boss said :
Loehmann’s former boss said of his ability to be a cop, “He could not follow simple directions, could not communicate clear thoughts nor recollections, and his handgun performance was dismal.”
He also said, “I do not believe time, nor training, will be able to change or correct the deficiencies.”Samaria Rice, Tamir’s mother, said in a statement to The Daily Beast that “given his [Loehmann] history—including breaking down and crying during training and rushing upon and slaying a 12-year-old child—
Loehmann doesn’t belong on any police force, anywhere, period.” The statement continued, “And he shouldn’t be foisted upon the citizenry anywhere.”How awful that Loehhmann gets a second chance, but Tamir Rice is gone with no justice.Heartbreaking.

Another sad story. Poor family. They'll never get over losing that child.
