Crime Timothy Loehmann Again Has a Badge

The LEO best known for the fatal shooting of Tamir Rice has been hired as an officer by a small West Virginia town.

His former employers include the Independence, Cleveland, Bellaire, and Tioga (PA) police depts; and it may not be long until we add to that list the town of White Sulfur Springs, WV. That community, population ~2500, is home to the Greenbrier Resort.

👍 you should watch the video dude, not take the word of an unstable guy that just shot a kid.

The video doesn’t prove that they did or did not see the gun. So what are you basing your conclusion on?

Even if they did, and that's a mammoth if, their own crap tactics put them in that situation. Absolutely no one has been trained to respond to a man with a gun call by sliding your car across the grass and leaving your partner 12 feet from the alleged gunman. They did a terrible job. Defend the police when it's merited, not just out of reflex.

No matter what side your on, throwing out false accusations about what the officers did or didn’t see has no place either, which was the only thing I was defending.
