In all fairness to the sheriff, he cannot compel the two cops to waive their 5th Amendment right to remain silent. He will have to complete the investigation without their cooperation. OTOH, anyone else refuses to "cooperate" with a homicide investigation, we're sure to hear about their lack of "cooperation." Also too, I never heard of a six-month-long homicide investigation when you ID'd the shooter a couple of minutes after the shooting. But I agree, the sheriff legally cannot make them "cooperate."
This article makes a very serious error when it says Tamir Rice was shot while holding a toy gun. Actually, he was shot while holding nothing at all in his hands. The toy gun was in his waist band.
I'm really really trying hard not to dislike cops because it is bad to paint a sector of the population as the worst part of humanity. But seriously? Every fucking day there is something, SOMETHING, fucked up that a police department and their officers are doing with very little blowback or accountability.
This issue must be resolved before the Republican National Convention is held there the summer of 2016. Otherwise, the RNC's black delegates will be afraid to leave their hotel roo- Oh. Wait.
When groups try to protect "their own", the tunnels become long, deep and virtually inaccessible. Just try it in your home town. In the town where our tax office resides, a person went in to the tax office and claimed to be me, got my tax records for some 12 years (impeccable payment-on-time records), had them sent to the impersonator's address, said "I" had moved and had no need for my pitiful Homestead exemption. When I found out some months later, literally, the woman in the tax office who then made the changes admitted she had NOT asked for identification before she made the changes requested by the imposter. Why did the whole tax department protect that woman? It seems based on behavior a "sweet young girl" and the head of the department, an older guy might have a relationship. They treated me like I was a criminal. I truly know about "protecting your own so the scandal of crap oversight and responsibility" doesn't become general knowledge.
I read on the internets that the investigation is scheduled to start a month after the 2016 GOP convention in Cleveland. (The cops will be busy keeping a 200 mile exclusion zone around the convention center).
...if only if he had a father in his life or didn't listen to rap music, because then he would have known that playing in a public park is a capital offense

Clancy Wiggum has some redeeming features. He doesn't beat his retarded son.

If only he'd been over twenty-one and carrying a real gun. That's legal in Ohio. Oh, and not black.
C'mon, Cleveland. Don't be another Ferguson.

Turn a blind eye? Turn a blind eye to cop misbehavior? I don't think so. Doing so is the road to giving up civility and becoming a bastion of brutes.
Who said anything about turning a blind eye?
He looks stressed.
We had one that color and, apparently, the same disposition. After about 6 months we just changed his name to "Evil". Our Lhasa was afraid of him.
Interesting since the driver usually is charged and executed.
