'Insult to Homicide': Cleveland Sues Tamir Rice's Family for Ambulance Fees



As the Scene reports, Cleveland has filed a claim in probate court, seeking $500 from Rice’s estate to pay for emergency medical services rendered after Officer Timothy Loehmann fatally shot the boy. The charge is especially galling because Loehmann and another officer apparently had no training or equipment to provide aid to Rice after they shot him. They did nothing for four minutes until an FBI agent who happened to be nearby took over.

In March,Mayor Frank Jackson apologized for language that Cleveland had used in a brief that blamed Rice for causing his own death by “failure ... to exercise due care to avoid injury.” Jackson called the language insensitive, but said it had been used to preserve the city’s legal defenses. That seems to cut straight to the heart of the matter: While Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty failed to indict Loehmann in the case, it seems telling the wording in the brief is so inflammatory to a lay public the mayor felt compelled to apologize.

Sounds like a bullet fee.

Remember bullet fees?

What would you expect from Cleveland?

 

[Compost]

This must be among the sweeping reforms promised by the Department of Justice after they investigated the Cleveland Police Department.

 

[WildBillKelsoe]

Sell the Obamacare supporters should be glad they're being forced to pay their fair share.

 

[bucs90]

To be accurate....

The City of Cleveland municipal government sent the bill.

The Cleveland Police Union....publicly ripped the city for this action.

 

[dannyboys]

I hope they are adding interest.

 

[Godboy]

It was THEIR son who was terrorizing people when he got shot. Why should the city have to pay for THEIR mistakes as parents?

 

[WillMunny]

Good! Tamir Rice was a case of natural selection; if a 12-year-old (old enough to know better) is dumb enough to brandish what looks like a gun at cops then that kid is too stupid to live. He deserves to be dead; it's not like America has a shortage of thuggish black-animal morons who also deserve the same thing.

 

[Katzndogz]

The parents were completely at fault. They raised the little thug then failed to supervise him.

Because parents are legally responsible for the actions of their underage children. Is that clear enough for you to understand?

 

[whitehall]

The Police didn't sue the family, the democrat mayor did.

Children do stupid things.

I am just thankful it wasnt a real gun.

BTW, it was a justifiable kill by the police.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Isn't Cleveland a Dimocrat controlled city ?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

The Police didn't sue the family, the democrat mayor did.

That'll leave a mark....or it should

 

[DigitalDrifter]

By the way, despite the thread title, it is NOT the police that is suing the family.

Um, maybe you should reread my post. We dont disagree.

Since when is an ambulance call free? Everybody pays so so should the kid's family pay too.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

Why send an ambulance to pick up a corpse?
