“Protesters upset by a decision not to indict two white police officers in the shooting death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old black boy who had a pellet gun, marched to the home of the prosecutor Friday and repeated calls for him to resign. Tamir was shot within two seconds of the officers’ police cruiser skidding to a stop near the boy. McGinty said police radio personnel contributed to the tragedy by failing to pass along the ‘all-important fact’ that a 911 caller said the gunman was probably a juvenile and the gun probably was not real. Mayor Frank Jackson and Police Chief Calvin Williams said that as protests continue, they plan to balance public safety with protesters’ First Amendment rights.”
