INVESTIGATION TRANSFERRED TO OUTSIDE AGENCY
A completely unassociated review body would be better, but this is positive news anyway, IMO.
Snip:
"This decision to turn the investigation over (to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department) was made to ensure that transparency and an extra layer of separation and impartiality were established," Mayor Frank G. Jackson said in a statement. "I believe that the best way to ensure accountability in a use of force investigation is to have it completed by an outside agency."
Attorneys for the Rice family said in response that they hope the investigation will shed light on why Tamir was shot "less than two seconds after the officers converged."
"We are cautiously optimistic about the announcement made earlier today regarding the City of Cleveland's promise of transparency and impartiality in the transfer of the investigation into the shooting death of Tamir Rice," attorneys Benjamin L. Crump, Walter T. Madison and Daryl D. Parks said in a statement.
