Last known photo of Tamir Rice before he was killed by Cleveland PD. Taken just a few weeks before his murder.

Shot and killed by Officer Timothy Loehmann of the Cleveland Police Department all the way back on November 22, 2014, 12-year-old sixth-grader Tamir Rice has still not been buried. This alone is a new crime all by itself. Even though the entire shooting was filmed and took less than two seconds, the so-called investigation into the shooting has carried on for a ridiculous six months.
According to family attorney Walter Madison, Tamir's family is waiting for the investigation to end so they will not be subjected to burying him and having to exhume his body from the ground for yet another medical examination. Via text, Madison pointed out: "The city of Cleveland knows that too. The delay incurs a daily $75 fee. To date, the outstanding expenses are $18k which at some point Samaria Rice would have to be obligated to pay. They talk nice and are apologetic but they are waging war of a different brand."
this has turned into a "take another look at law enforcement in America day" not intentionally but by reality and our right to know.  things like this fill to over flowing of Loretta Lynch's new AG plate let's pray she has the wear withal and incentive to spur investigations talked about but not investigated for what they are  politically driven delay attempts to in some way change a preconceive notion of it not ending the way the police want.  destroyed families just another statistic in the list of collateral damage.  tantamount to republican not voting and kicking the proverbial can down the road till the sun looks a little brighter for their side.
