Almost a year has passed since the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was playing with a toy gun in a public recreation center in Cleveland when he was shot dead by a rookie police officer. Whether or not the police officer, Tim Loehmann, will face criminal charges for shooting Rice will be decided by a grand jury once the office of Cuyahoga County prosecutor, Tim McGinty, completes an investigation into the incident. When that will happen is still unknown, but this past weekend, McGinty took the significant step of releasing a pair of reports by outside law enforcement experts arguing that Loehmann was legally justified in using lethal force.
