Cleveland judge won't be forced to issue warrants in Rice shooting

Source: Reuters

A divided Ohio appeals court panel on Friday said it would not force a municipal judge to issue arrest warrants for Cleveland police officers involved in the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in a city park last November.

A group of community activists who have sought to bring charges against the officers directly through a little known Ohio law had asked the 8th District Court of Appeals to compel the judge to issue arrest warrants in the case.

Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Ronald Adrine in June found probable cause for Officer Timothy Loehmann, who shot Rice, and his partner, Frank Garmback, to face charges in the shooting.

However, Adrine also said his authority to issue warrants conflicted with state law and called his role advisory, prompting community leaders to ask the higher court to force his hand.

So horrible. The poor child! And his poor sister and mother! And their whole family! This was about the worst one. The film makes it obvious what happened here. I couldn't even count to 2 before that shot. And I can't believe they just let him die slowly and wouldn't even let his sister help him and all. Clearly a kid! How could they?

Because some whites consider blacks as non-human. So there is no empathy or guilt. It's like stepping on an ant or smacking a fly that lands on your arm and watching it drop to the ground.
