Prior to the release of the official investigation into the shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice by police officers Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback, newsnet5 out of Cleveland reported sources that stated the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office found no evidence of a crime, but sections of the report show some troubling details, especially in the need to cast the young victim as a physically menacing and seemingly less innocent individual.
In a redacted interview, Detective David Jacobs inquires into the story of a woman who mentioned seeing pictures of Tamir Rice on social media in a chance encounter with Cleveland Police first district Sergeant Janell Rutherford.
