Brazen Shit Dept - Timothy Loehmann (Tamir Rice's Killer) speaks:



Complete with Steve Loomis's shrug and dismissal of "Justified Force". Why aren't these two in JAIL? Everything they say in this interview is a proven-by-security footage FALSEHOOD. This was a drive-by shooting. Nothing more, nothing less.

Loehmann said that he opened his car door slightly when the cruiser was about 30 yards from Tamir, presented his weapon and started yelling: "Put your hands in the air! Let me see your weapon! Freeze!"

This account is inconsistent with his written statement to the grand jury, in which he said he hadn't opened the door and begun yelling until the car was rolling to a stop. (Read the officers' written statements in the document viewers below.)

An internal affairs investigator questioned Loehmann about the mechanics of holding open the passenger-side door of a moving vehicle, while also holding a gun in his dominant right hand.

Loehmann described the crouching posture he had to assume on the door's threshold to be "prepared for anything."

"The threat just became incredible," Loehmann said. "I had to make the decision fast because Frank and I were in immediate danger. If the subject did pull out the gun and point it towards us, I would have been shot and possibly my partner. ... Plus, I was stuck in the doorway and my partner was still seated in the driver's seat. So we were basically sitting ducks."


Er, the video shows Tamir standing up from a park picnic bench. OMFGZ CALL THE SWAT TEAM!! The shooting happened in 0.79 seconds. You barked no commands in that amount of time. The elapsed time of the security footage proves your story bull paddies, bro.
