CUDELL REC CENTER SHOOTING

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department has completed its investigation into the November Cleveland police killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, sources familiar with the case said.

The department is expected to announce that investigators have given the evidence they collected to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty's office on Wednesday, more than six months after Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann shot and killed the boy who had wielded an airsoft-type gun in Cudell Recreation Center Nov. 22.

The sheriff's department will not make a recommendation for any charges filed against Loehmann or his partner, Frank Garmback, sources said. McGinty's office will review the evidence and present it to a grand jury, a process that could take weeks.

A team of sheriff's department detectives, led by then-Chief Deputy Clifford Pinkney, took control of the investigation Jan. 2, after the city agreed to let an outside agency probe the shooting.

2. For real.

Cops always investigate cops fully and without bias.

7. Watch them pull the same stunt used in the Brown case.

I have little hope in a fair presentation to the GJ.
