Reading up on the case. Some timeline background...
- Saturday, 22 Nov. 2014 at 3:30 p.m. -- Tamir Rice was shot at Cuddell Commons Park and Youth Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
- The officers who shot Tamir did not give him CPR after the shooting. It wasn't until an FBI agent who happened to be in the area showed up 4 minutes after the shooting that CPR was given.
- Tamir was shot twice in the Torso. He was rushed to the hospital and he died there several hours later.
- On Sunday, 23 Nov. 2014, the family hired attorney Timothy Kucharski who will help the family launch its own investigation.
- On Monday, 24 Nov 2014, Cleveland PD held a press conference. Also on Monday, hacktivists "Anonymous" took down the city of Cleveland's web site. The group posted a video saying, "Police of the United States you will learn in due time once anonymous has shut down your sites that we will not stand for your ignorant untrained rookie cops." The web site was restored on Wednesday.
- On Tuesday, 25 Nov. 2014, the family asked for the Cleveland PD to release all tapes to the public and asked for the community to remain calm and peaceful while the investigation is underway. PD agreed to family's request. Protests began.
- On Wednesday, 26 Nov. 2014, the officer who fired the shot was identified as 26-year old Timothy Loehmann, a rookie cop who started in March. Frank Garmback was the other responding officer -- he's been on the force for 7 years. Both were placed on administrative leave immediately after the shooting, pending investigation.
