CLEVELAND, Ohio The Cleveland Community Police Commission has joined the chorus of Northeast Ohio officials calling for the Justice Department to re-open a federal civil rights investigation into a former Cleveland police officer’s killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice.
Ten of the commission’s 12 members voted to send the letter that was delivered Monday to the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in Washington and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Cleveland asking them to revive the probe following reports that officials in former President Donald Trump’s DOJ let the investigation stall in his final months in office and then closed the case after he lost the 2020 election.
