Extended Video Shows Cops Push, Handcuff Tamir Rice’s Sister After Shooting

From Tim Loehmann’s personnel file with the Independence P.D. which the Cleveland P.D. apparently failed to look at before it hired him:

Emotional Immaturity
Ptl. Loehrnann’s inability to perform basic functions as instructed, and his inability to emotionally function because of a personal situation at home with an on and off again girlfriend leads one to believe that he would not be able to substantially cope, or make good decisions, during or resulting from any other stressful situation. This ongoing personal relationship should not have whole-fully consumed him that he would not be able to follow simple direction, especially after being given a reasonable amount of time to collect himself.

** Circumventing Direction**
It appears from the pattern developing within our short time frame with Ptl. Loehmann that he often feels that when told to do something, that those instructions are optional, and that he can manipulate them if he so feels it can better serve him. I do not say he is doing this for some benefit, or in an insubordinate way, but he just appears to have the mind set that if he thinks he knows better, than that is the course he follows.

Recommendation
Due to this dangerous loss of composure during live range training and his inability to manage this personal stress, I do not believe Ptl. Loehmann shows the maturity needed to work in our employment. Unfortunately in law enforcement there are times when instructions need be followed to the letter, and I am under the impression Ptl. Loehmann, under certain circumstances, will not react in the way instructed. Ptl. Loehmann’s lack ofcommitment for his future here at Independence is disconcerting. Although saying he is happy to be here, he seems to be considering other options.

For these reasons, I am recommending he be released from the employment of the City of Independence. I do not believe time, nor training, will be able to change or correct these deficiencies.

Guy couldn’t hack it as a small town cop, and failed basic testing when he applied to the sheriff’s department, but Cleveland hired him without so much as a check up with his past employers. This is the reason negligent hiring and supervision are causes of action, to make employers putting people into positions of trust and power actually do a goddamned background check to weed idiots like this out before they’re hired.

We keep putting all this info on the incompetent junior cop and I do realize he was the shooter.

But…I want to know about the senior cop that drove up like this, lied about what happened and who I feel could have prevented the whole thing from happening. He was in charge.
