Over this past weekend, I have been attending Tamir Rice Protests, Vigils, and meetings focused on the police brutality problem in Cleveland. Yesterday a group of protesters and Tamir’s family gathered outside the Justice Center downtown. The demand is that prosecutor McGinty step aside from this case. He has over the past year, proven he is incapable of prosecuting law enforcement. He will stop at nothing to prosecute you, unless you are a cop.

At the meeting on Saturday, we were joined by Samaria Rice, Tamir’s mother, and her lawyer Subodh Chandra. Chandra went over all the details of the fight he has led against the prosecutor’s office who refuses to release evidence pertinent to the case. He will not even answer his inquiries. They have not followed standard procedures and have gone as far as to berate the Rice family publicly.  He has leaked report by his friends who he calls experts, a move Chandra calls, “Improper for a lawyer to do,” but since it’s not against the law, he gets away with it. Since he works for the state, he will not be held accountable for it.

McGinty has attacked the Rice family and their attorneys publicly. He claims to not have heard about Judge Adrian’s ruling that criminal charges should be filed against the officers. A letter was sent to his office about it to which of course, he did not respond to. His sworn testimony in the Brelo case is in direct contrast to his views on the Tamir Rice case. In Brelo’s case, he testified that “An officer should assess the situation, not rush in and start firing.” Isn’t that what he should be saying about this case?

This Prosecutor has been sabotaging this case’s potential for prosecution. If a prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, why have officers Loehmann and Garmback not been charged yet?
