NOW PLAYING Outside reviews find police shooting of Tamir Rice justified Never autoplay videos A white police officer who fatally shot a black 12-year-old carrying a pellet gun in November 2014 will not be indicted, an Ohio prosecutor announced Monday.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty said a grand jury declined to charge a Cleveland police officer or his partner in the death of Tamir Rice. The grand jury had been meeting since mid-October.
Surveillance video of the shooting showed patrolman Timothy Loehmann, a rookie at the time, shooting Rice as the cruiser driven by patrolman Frank Garmback skidded to a stop on Nov. 22, 2014. Rice died the next day during surgery.
McGinty called the episode "a perfect storm of human error" but said no crime was committed.
Rice was carrying a plastic airsoft gun when he was shot and McGinty said it was "indisputable" that Rice drew his weapon as the officer who shot him approached. The grand jury decision comes more than a year after Rice's death, and his family has repeatedly questioned why the case has dragged on.

Get ready for black lies matter riots in 3..2..1..
The key to no charges, but this won't matter to the race hustlers, including the President.
Absolutely right, nor will it matter to people who made up their mind the officer was guilty of murder right off the bat because Rice was just a boy even though he weighed nearly 200 pounds.
Yea, he was larger than many men regardless of his age. Also there was additional video that the media was playing at first showing him pointing the Airsoft gun at people walking past him in the park. That is NOT a funny joke. If it had been me that he pointed that pistol towards, it would have been over pronto!
OK. So what did this Airsoft pellet gun look like. Some are pretty realistic looking.
Thanks for posting the pic, very realistic looking.
