The DOJ not filing charges against the police who killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice because the video does not make the “sequence of events” clear is some sort of sick joke.

Those cops shot Tamir as soon as they rolled up on him. It could not be more clear.https://t.co/Hm9elp5lHD

It cannot be called the Justice Department if it cannot bring about justice for the murder of 12-year-old Tamir Rice.

In Tamir’s honor, we say to every Black child: we love you. And we will never stop fighting to protect you. https://t.co/ZipZDe0b0V

The Justice Department announced it will not charge the police officer who killed #TamirRice in 2014 due to lack of evidence.

Cleveland Officer Loehmann shot 12-year-old Rice while playing with a toy gun. Neither him nor his partner Garmback have faced any criminal charges. pic.twitter.com/G2HjhX1PD4

In 2014, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was shot by police while playing with a BB gun.

Responding officers were informed beforehand that he was likely a juvenile and the gun was likely fake—but they shot him just 2 seconds after arriving.
This is not justice. https://t.co/JQXDJn8dTM

Justice would have been officers never killing Tamir Rice in the first place.

But the choice to close this case only reinforces our legal system’s indifference to Black life. https://t.co/QNXpj4nNnF
