Tamir Rice News: The Cleveland 8 file a direct appeal of Judge Adrine's order not to issue arrest warrants against Cleveland cops involved in the shooting death of Tamir Rice after the state appeals court dismisses their petition seeking the arrest warrants saying that a direct appeal is the proper route.... Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty says that police that kill Blacks should not be pre-charged with felonies at the municipal level like Black people....Some community activists want the state law amended to exclude municipal court judges altogether as to felonies, saying they since they cannot hear felony trials by law and that because in Ohio only a county grand jury can formally bring state felony charges via an indictment, they should not be issuing preliminary felony charges with arrest warrants and high bonds that disproportionately target Blacks.....By Cleveland Urban News.Com, Ohio's leader in Black digital news
