It's a Good Thing the Cop who Killed Tamir Rice Quit His Job b/c Police Can't be Fired or Hired by the Public and Their Authority Over People is Uncontrollable While They Provide Compulsory "Services"

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT TOO. From [HERE] The former Cleveland officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014 resigned Thursday as the lone police officer in a small Pennsylvania town, two days after his swearing-in sparked backlash from residents and the mayor.

Timothy Loehmann withdrew his application to be a Tioga, Pa., officer Thursday morning, according to the town’s website, and the mayor called for three borough council members to resign over their roles in the hiring.

Loehmann was sworn in Tuesday after a unanimous vote by the council, the Williamsport Sun-Gazette reported. The newspaper and other local media were told the town was hiring an officer by the name of Timothy Lochmann.

Council President Steve Hazlett clarified on Facebook on Wednesday that the officer hired to represent the borough of about 700 people was Loehmann, who was fired from the Cleveland Police Department in 2017 for lying on his job application but faced no criminal charges connected to Rice’s death. Rice was carrying a pellet gun at a playground when Loehmann fatally shot him in November 2014, spurring nationwide protests over law enforcement’s use of deadly force against Black people. [MORE]
