Dear Attorney General Garland:
Tamir Rice should be alive today. We write to urge the Department of Justice (DOJ) to immediately reopen its civil rights investigation into his death.
On November 22, 2014, Tamir Rice was playing in a park in Cleveland, Ohio, when someone called the police on him, an experience all too familiar to Black Americans. Officers arrived on the scene to find a boy playing with a toy gun by himself in the middle of a park. Within moments, an officer fired upon Tamir, striking and killing the 12-year-old boy while the police car was still rolling. Standing by himself in the middle of a park, Tamir did not pose an imminent threat of bodily harm. Let us repeat: Tamir should be alive today. Data shows that young Black Americans like Tamir are more likely to die from police gunfire than young white Americans.

Ohio lab director blames hospital for fertility clinic failure

Three years after a malfunctioning storage tank destroyed thousands of frozen eggs and embryos at an Ohio fertility clinic, its former lab director is blaming what he described as bungling staff and administrators who ignored his warnings.
The claims made for the first time in legal filings this month have ignited a flurry of accusations between University Hospitals in Cleveland and its former employee and his attorney.
Andrew Bhatnager, who oversaw the clinic’s fertility tanks, said in an affidavit quickly sealed by a judge that a series of avoidable mistakes led to the tank failure. He also said he was pressured by the hospital’s lawyers to withhold details about what went wrong.
