Garmback may provide a written statement to
@Pros_TimMcGinty. Still waiting to hear back about Loehmann.#TamirRice pic.twitter.com/HYvBc4JzGs9:34 AM - 12 Oct 2015 · Details3 retweets 0 favorites -
Frank Garmback (officer who drove up to
#TamirRice) won't testify before grand jury, his attorney just told me. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/10/new-tamir-rice-investigations-cleveland-police-shooting-6-takeaways%20 … -
Video is important bc it can also corroborate/contradict the officers' story. But in
#TamirRice case they've been silent for almost a year.0 retweets 0 favorites -
Here's what you need to know about the new
#TamirRice investigations, and what they didn't discuss: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/10/new-tamir-rice-investigations-cleveland-police-shooting-6-takeaways%20 … -
6) County prosecutor says its
#TamirRice approach ends "protocol of total secrecy" re: fatal police shootings. Hence the Sat night news dump -
5) Reports do NOT mean Loehmann won't get indicted. That's tbd by the grand jury, as county prosecutor makes clear: http://prosecutor.cuyahogacounty.us/en-US/Investigation-Into-Death-of-Tamir-Rice.aspx …
-
4) Reports concluded Loehmann's actions were "objectively reasonable" without statements from officers involved. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/06/tamir-rice-police-killing-911-call-investigation …
-
3) It is really beyond me how, at this point in the public outrage/conversation, these circumstantial details do not matter.
-
Nor do the reports mention Officers Loehmann and Garmback did not give
#TamirRice first aid after the shooting. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/05/tamir-rice-investigation-cleveland-police … -
As was the 911 call info relayed by the dispatcher, the fact that Tamir's gun turned out to be fake, and whether Loehmann gave warning...
-
2) But also those 2 reports emphasize that the tactics Loehmann/Garmback (the officer who pulled up to Rice) put on display were irrelevant
-
If the past year-plus have told us anything about the law/constitution + police shootings it's that they give cops the benefit of the doubt.
-
1) Both of the reports on Officer Loehmann's use of deadly force were deemed objectively reasonable, which should come as no surprise.

This is telling. But how else can we measure the assumed waxing/waning of public interest in mass shootings? https://twitter.com/postgraphics/status/650652094794338304 …
