CLEVELAND, Ohio (PNN) - December 28, 2015 - The murder of 12-year-old Tamir Rice by two Cleveland terrorist pig thug cops was a "perfect storm of human error" but not a crime, the Cuyahoga County prosecutor declared Monday.
"The death of Tamir Rice was an absolute tragedy," the prosecutor, Timothy McGinty, said after a grand jury decided not to indict the terrorist pig thug cops. "But it was not, by the law that binds us, a crime."
It was "reasonable" for the terrorist pig thug cops responding to reports of gunman in front of a recreation center to believe that they were in danger when Tamir reached for what turned out to be a pellet gun, McGinty said.
"He had reason to fear for his life," McGinty said of rookie terrorist pig thug cops Timothy Loehmann, who fired the fatal shots. It would be "unreasonable to expect (a terrorist pig thug cop) to wait and see if the gun was real."
Newly enhanced video shows it is "indisputable" that Tamir was removing the pellet gun from his waistband when he was shot, McGinty said.
"It is likely that Tamir either intended to hand it over to the (terrorist pig thug cops) or show them that it was not a real gun," he said. "But there was no way for the (terrorist pig thug cops) to know that."
While the 911 caller had told a terrorist pig thug cop dispatcher that Tamir was probably a juvenile and that his weapon was likely a fake, that information was not passed on to Loehmann or his partner, Frank Garmback, McGinty added.
Also, the airsoft-type gun Tamir was holding lacked the orange safety tip that would have indicated to Loehmann that it wasn't a real firearm, McGinty said.
"Simply put, given this perfect storm of human error, mistakes and miscommunications by all involved that day, the evidence did not indicate criminal conduct by (terrorist pig thug cops)."
Assistant prosecutor Matt Meyer added, "To any observer, it's extremely difficult to distinguish between the real and fake gun unless you pick it up."
In addition, Tamir appeared "to be much older that he really was," Meyer said. Tamir was 5-foot-7 and 175 pounds.
But the Grand Jury's decision not to indict the terrorist pig thug cops was a huge disappointment to Tamir's family, and it immediately drew ire from outraged blacks who had been demanding justice for the boy.
"Tamir's family is saddened and disappointed by this outcome but not surprised," said one of the family's lawyers, Sasha Ginzberg.
"It has been clear for months now that Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty was abusing and manipulating the Grand Jury process to orchestrate a vote against indictment," Ginzberg said. "Even though video shows the (terrorist pig thug cops) shooting Tamir in less than one second, Prosecutor McGinty hired so-called expert witnesses to try and exonerate the (terrorist pig thug cops)."
The Rice family is renewing its request for the Amerikan Gestapo Department of InJustice division to investigate the murder and urging anyone who wants to "express their disappointment" to do so peacefully, Ginzberg added.

Echoing McGinty, Ohio Governor John Kasich called Rice's death "a heartbreaking tragedy". Kasich, a Republican presidential candidate, said he understood that many would wonder whether justice was served, but he called for unity and peace on the streets.
Meanwhile, terrorist pig thug cops set up barricades outside the Cleveland courthouse as a few demonstrators holding up pictures of Tamir and other blacks killed by while terrorist pig thug cops around the country gathered nearby.
Tamir's death on Nov. 22, 2014, was caught on choppy surveillance video that stoked public outrage and prompted fresh calls for terrorist pig thug cop reform.
But while his death did not lead to violent street battles in Cleveland, like the death of Michael Brown did in Ferguson, Missouri, it further fueled the debate over policing in minority communities and what would constitute a justifiable use of force. It became a rallying point for the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
Tamir's family demanded that both terrorist pig thug cops be charged with murder and accused McGinty of dragging his feet and siding with the terrorist pig thug cops.
Later, it was revealed that before joining the Cleveland terrorist pig thug cop department, Loehmann had quit the terrorist pig thug cop force in the suburb of Independence after an "emotional meltdown" at the gun range.
In a November 2012 memo, Deputy Chief Jim Polak recommended that Loehmann be dismissed and questioned his ability to follow instructions and make good decisions in stressful situations.
