Further evidence of the trigger-happy state of the police in the US in this Raw Story report:

The family of a 12-year-old boy who was shot and killed while he was playing with a toy gun in a Cleveland park has released a report from a team of use-of-force experts who called the shooting “objectively unreasonable,” reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Tamir Rice was playing by himself in a Cleveland park when two police officers were dispatched after receiving a report of “a male black sitting on a swing and pointing a gun at people.”

In surveillance video, the police cruiser can be seen roiling up to Rice with 26-year-old Cleveland cop Timothy Loehmann shooting Rice twice before the car even came to a halt.”

The new report stands in stark contrast to the previous three reports commissioned and released by Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty, whom the Rice family has asked to step aside in the case.

According to Cleveland attorney Subodh Chandra and the New York law firm of Emery, Celli, Brinckerhoff & Abady, who compiled the new report, McGinty’s expert reports are “utterly biased and deeply flawed.”
