USA: Hundreds of #BlackLivesMatter activists demand justice for 12-yo Tamir Rice

Hundreds of protesters gathered at Impett park in Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday, to march to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty’s house. The demonstrators demanded that McGinty charge the officers responsible for the shooting of twelve year-old African American Tamir Rice. Protesters led the march carrying a black casket symbolising Rice. Cleveland police increased patrols in the area, however the demonstration went by peacefully with no arrests reported. Tamir Rice was shot dead by Timothy Loehmann on Novermber 22, 2014 in Cleveland Ohio, after Loehmann and his partner Frank Garmback received a police dispatch about a male African-American juvenile who was pointing a gun - the caller admitted that it might be a toy gun - at random people at a Cleveland city park (Cudell Recreation Center). When the officers arrived, Loehmann shot the victim, because Rice was pointing the gun at him, the officer reported. However the gun turned out to be a harmless toy gun.
