Cleveland has agreed to pay Tamir Rice’s family $6 million for the wrongful death of their son. He was playing with a toy gun in a public park when gunned down by a trigger-happy rookie cop who’d been sacked by another police department as “unfit for duty.” That’s a lot of money, but I’m sure they’d rather have their son. (Source: CBS News)
Meanwhile, the two cops involved in the incident got off the hook. Event though a judge found probable cause, a grand jury declined to indict them. So far as I know, they’re still on duty, drawing pay and earning pension time, prowling the streets of Cleveland. As usual, taxpayers will pick up the tab for what they did to an innocent kid.
By the way, the kid was black and the cops were white. Are you outraged yet? Does throwing $6 million of other people’s money at it make anything better?
Steve spews:
@1 I was already outraged. Tamir Rice should still be alive and his family not heartbroken with the loss of a child. Knowing a couple of families who have lost a child, one to an accident, another to suicide, I’ve realized that there is no true recovery. At best, they only learn to continue living life again. This lost will haunt and hurt the Rice family for the rest of their lives.

@3 Is ISIS a government? Do they use force? Are you suggesting the no government is better? And what is really the difference between a nation run by government or by an entity such as ISIS? Isn’t it just people who suck that sucks.
Being poiliticay incorrect isn’t any better than being politically correct.

@1,
“… a grand jury declined to indict them.”
I don’t believe the record supports that. So far as I know or any reputable media outlet has been able to learn, there is no official record or a “no-bill” vote on any charges. Of course the GJ proceedings themselves are secret, and the only recorded outcome, other than numerous media statements from the Prosecutor, is a “no-bill notification” filed with the court by the clerk. There is no official record of any GJ vote No record of a “no-bill” vote at all. McGinty has admitted that no vote was taken. He never asked the GJ to take such a vote. His office has stated that no vote was taken. What the GJ “decided” is entirely unclear. But they did not “decline” to vote a “true bill”. They “declined” to vote at all. The Rice family will never know why. Only McGinty knows. And he aint sayin.

Dumbfuck, Cleveland’s potential liability rested far more with the actions of the dispatcher who failed to notify the responding officers that the citizen who called it in thought the gun was probably fake and that the individual in possession of the gun was likely a child, than with actions of officers who rolled up and saw someone reach for what they had good reason to believe was a real weapon. I don’t blame the City for settling, after what happened in Baltimore, but Cleveland’s lawyers didn’t settle because of the police actions. They settled because of the reason the police felt they needed to act as quickly as they did.
You were once a practicing attorney, RR? Really?

Dumbfuck.

Good point, DR. Here’s the document issued by the grand jury:

the GJ decided the shooting was justified, charges were unwarranted, and there for there were no charges to vote on.
Not a dumbfuck.

Something tells me they won’t be calling part-timers ‘hidden’ in a Cruz/Fiorina administration. They’ll be front-and-center and ‘What are you going to do about this?’ will be demanded by every liberal around.
Excluding the Great Recession, the 6 million Americans who work part-time but want full-time jobs today are at the highest level in about 30 years or so. The number has come down since its peak during the recession but some experts believe America now has a “new normal” — a permanently high number of part-timers.
Experts call these jobs “hidden unemployment” because these people are capable of working more hours than they can get

Hey, remember when Pelosi touted underemployment as an Obamacare feature?
Pelosi: CBO Report Shows Obamacare Gives Americans Freedom to ‘Follow Their Passion.’
“What we see is that people are leaving their jobs because they are no longer job-locked,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters after House votes Tuesday afternoon. “They are following their aspirations to be a writer; to be self-employed; to start a business. This is the entrepreneurial piece. So it’s not going to cost jobs. It’s going to shift how people make a living and reach their aspirations.”
Pelosi said she hadn’t “fully” seen the report, but, “this was one of the goals. To give people life, a healthy life, liberty to pursue their happiness. And that liberty is to not be job-locked, but to follow their passion.”

@5 Technically ISIS is a government one that our government does not recognize, While our government does recognize other groups in Syria which the Syrians call terrorists. Syria is just one place a proper civil war is taking place. Usually groups aren’t organized enough to do more than be low level revolutionaries or terrorists. ISIS though is organized, has power and is willing to use that power. Depending on which end of the stick your on you might call the power ISIS has force. However the Force probably isn’t with them. It has too many other things to deal with in a galaxy far far away.

If modern “conservatives” have their way, and Boob ever decides to get off the sofa and go back to “practicing” medicine, in Kansas he’ll have to rely on bronze era superstition in place of high tech imaging technology. Which might actually be an improvement in Boob’s case.

The ‘positive gangs’ statement was a slip, similar to Obama’s ’57 states’ slip.
Slips of this nature are successfully only used when someone on the GOP side utters them, like Trump’s ‘7/11’.
