Let me begin by saying that this is my first Daily Kos Diary. Also, I'm shocked that no other Kossack has yet written about this story. My reason for posting this diary is that I'm mad as hell regarding the findings by two outside reviews, which said that the shooting death of a black boy, 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was merely waving a pellet gun, and who was fatally shot by a white Cleveland police officer, Timothy Loehmann, has been ruled JUSTIFIED.
The full story, from The Cincinnati Enquirer, can be read by clicking the link below.

Ths newspaper article pretty much explains it all, and honestly, I'm just too upset to write any further about Tamir Rice's death. Although the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement, ""We are not reaching any conclusions from these reports. The gathering of evidence continues, and the grand jury will evaluate it all." Yeah, right.
Despite the Prosecutor's statement, I think we can all read between the lines and see where this case is going. Nowhere. The evidence presented is obviously biased and tainted, and I doubt that a grand jury will indict the police officer.
In other words, it looks as if Tamir Rice's family is not going to see justice prevail in the case of the kid's fatal shooting at the hands of a cowardly cop.
