WATCH LIVE: Protesters Take to the Streets in Cleveland Over No Charges Filed in Death of Tamir Rice
Yesterday it was announced that no charges would be filed against the two cops directly involved in the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. Today protesters have taken to the streets in Cleveland.
Rice’s shooting was a source of much outrage over the past year, and the Rice family attorneys tore into the prosecutor for “abusing and manipulating” the grand jury process.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said today there will be an administrative review of the shooting.
Protesters have gathered in Cleveland for the past few hours, and the police are out too to make sure things remain peaceful.
