The Post About Timothy Loehmann

If you do not know who this man is, that is understandable because I forgot his name as well. But now I remember that he is the officer that shot and killed Tamir Rice. Tamir Rice was a young black boy who was shot for holding a toy gun. This happened two years, sixth months, and some days ago. But news has broke out that this officer has been fired. And you might be rejoicing right now because you think that he was fired for shooting Tamir Rice.
Now I thought that at first as well. And that angered me as well as Tamir Rice's death angered me. Like how is it that Cleveland's police department decided to fire a murderer two years after he done killed someone? That's pretty shady
But alas, he was not fired for shooting Tamir Rice. Internal investigation concluded Loehmann didn't violate any CLE PD policies when he shot and killed Tamir Rice
He was fired because he lied on his job application and shouldn't have been hired in the first place.
I honestly find it ridiculous that this happened. But of course, he wouldn't be fired for killing an unarmed young black teenager. But then again, police officers usually don't stay fired for long.
