Cleveland prosecutor who cleared cops in Tamir Rice’s death defeated in Dem primary

[Cigar]

Cuyahoga County District Attorney Tim McGinty lost his bid for re-election on Tuesday night, less than three months after Cleveland activists began calling for him to be voted out for his handling of the case of 12-year-old Tamir Rice’s shooting death at the hands of police.

CleveScene reported that McGinty conceded the Democratic primary race to opponent Mike O’Malley around midnight local time.

McGinty became the subject of protests around the area for clearing Officers Frank Garmback and Timothy Loehmann in Rice’s death.

Footage showed the boy was shot and killed within seconds of the officers driving up to the boy at a local park, where he was spotted holding a replica gun in late 2014. McGinty has refused to release the testimony heard by the grand jury who heard the case.

The people voted him out. There's nothing wrong with that. WTF?

No... Tamir's mother should pay. She should be charged with child neglect and child endangerment.

There is something seriously wrong with the "why" he was voted out.

How do you know what every voter was thinking? You just don't believe in the voting process, do you? Do you think the people should be denied a vote in this case?

You need to read the OP before asking me questions about it...

Maybe you also need to do more research. Sounds like this guy was an overall crappy prosecutor that people had been unhappy with way before the Rice shooting.


McGinty has been the subject of public outrage for many years, but his response to the Rice shooting thrust him into the national spotlight in November 2014. After the 12-year-old’s shooting, a state judge found probable cause (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/12/28/3735259/what-everyone-should-know-about-the-police-killing-of-tamir-rice-2002-2014/) to charge Officer Timothy Loehmann, who gunned down Rice within two seconds of exiting his police car. McGinty ignored that assessment and hired two biased experts (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/10/14/3711843/tamir-rice-prosecutor-fail/) to review the shooting — both of whom concluded the shooting was reasonable. He also passed the case to a grand jury within two days (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/10/14/3711843/tamir-rice-prosecutor-fail/), but waited roughly one year to release the sheriff’s investigation to the jurors.

More links in the article for you. It also looks like he did a LOT wrong.

No s***- can you imagine if it was a conservative's white kid who was shot while playing with a toy gun? PP would call for the cop's head.

Perhaps you could expand. My guess is that you can't.

I gave you the OP. You ignored it. That's because it's devastating to your argument.
