Tamir E. Rice is the 12 year old black boy who was shot and killed by a Cleveland police officer when Tamir Rice ‘allegedly’ pulled an Airsoft replica gun on the cops.
The Cuyahoga County medical examiner identified the boy as Tamir Rice. An attorney for his family, Timothy Kucharski, said the boy went to the park with friends Saturday afternoon, but he did not know the details of what led to the shooting.
Expect Tamir Rice case to be the latest racial grievance industry ‘project’ to hype up after the noise from the Darren Wilson/Mike Brown dies down.

Rice, the boy’s mom, lives across the street from the rec center. She told WOIO she doesn’t understand why her son was shot.
Cleveland police have been under increased scrutiny during the last few years. The U.S. Justice Department has been conducting an investigation of their pursuit and use of force practices.
