Timothy Loehmann

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

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 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.

New York Times reporter Katie Benner helped break the story and she joined host Glenn Forbes on All Things Considered Friday.

The mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was killed by Cleveland Police officer Timothy Loehmann in 2014, delivered petitions to the Cleveland Police union Monday asking they stop their efforts to get Loehmann his job back, but the union has no plans to pull their support. Samaria Rice says Loehmann is reckless and a danger to the community as a police officer.
