Of Course

[Content Note: Police brutality; death; racism.]

As you may recall, following the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, the Northeast Ohio Media Group saw fit to publish a story about how his father had a history of domestic violence.

Now, they have published this trash: "Father of Cleveland cop who shot Tamir Rice says his son had no choice."

So, the father of the victim irrelevantly has his violent history documented, and the father of the killer is given a platform to defend his son. Cool.

And this shit was published without a trace of irony or decency:
Tim Loehmann attends church, socializes with friends and is doing "pretty well" in the days following the Nov. 22 shooting, his father Fred Loehmann said in an interview Monday from the family's home in Parma.

"He's living his life," he said.
Wow.
