Cleveland Police

The Cleveland police union’s years long pursuit to get Timothy Loehmann his job back has come to an end.

A special assistant in the Cleveland mayor’s office has been indicted on charges of rape, sexual battery and domestic violence.

A Bail Project employee is suing the city of Cleveland and police officers over his arrest last year, saying his Downtown residency exempted him from the curfew order imposed after the May 30 demonstrations and rioting.

The federal government dropped charges against two Pennsylvania men they originally said traveled to Cleveland on May 30 to participate in a riot.

It appears unlikely Timothy Loehmann, the officer who shot and killed Tamir Rice in 2014, will ever get his job back with Cleveland Division of Police. The 8th District Court of Appeals in Cuyahoga County dismissed the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association’s appeal of Loehmann’s firing Thursday.

The Cleveland Division of Police’s (CDP) use of force reporting and community engagement before and during the May 30 social justice protest in Downtown Cleveland are under scrutiny by the federal monitor overseeing the city’s police reform efforts. In a review of 29 officers’ use of force reports from May 30, the monitor found officers didn’t record the quantity of non-lethal munitions that were fired, making it hard to evaluate whether excessive force was used.

The president of the Cleveland Warriors, the local amateur football team made up of police and corrections officers and first responders, appears to have resigned. That’s what team president and coach, Bill Sofranko, texted Randy Knight, an ex-player protesting the team’s inclusion of Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland police officer who killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014.

The department announced that it found insufficient evidence to "support federal criminal charges" against Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback.

A report from The New York Times says the U.S. Justice Department has effectively shut down the investigation into the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was killed by Cleveland police near the Cuddell Recreation Center in 2014. The Times further reports the department has not officially closed the case, adding further confusion. New York Times reporter Katie Benner helped break the story and she joined host Glenn Forbes on All Things Considered Friday.
