Police Department Hires Officer Who Fatally Shot Tamir Rice

According to Business Insider, the Ohio police officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014, has been hired by another department. In a statement, Bellaire Police Chief Richard Flanagan said Timothy Loehmann deserves "a second chance." Loehmann will work as a cop in the Village of Bellaire, which has a population of around 4,000. A grand jury declined in 2015 to indict Loehmann, who was then was fired from the Cleveland police department in May 2017.
