Rev. Al Sharpton on the Grand Jury's Decision in Tamir Rice Case

 

(NEW YORK, NY) – The following is a statement from Rev. Al Sharpton, President and Founder of the National Action Network:   

“We are appalled that no indictment was returned in the case of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, though we are not surprised given the behavior and tone displayed by prosecutor Tim McGinty’s all year. National Action Network has stood by Tamir’s family since the egregious killing that took young Tamir’s life and his mother joined us at a national march for police accountability last year in the nation’s capital. We will continue to support Samaria Rice as we call for a special national prosecutor to monitor such cases and we stand by the Rice family as they are dealt this blow during the holidays.”
