Really?
Here is an item that will get you thinking-----
RawStory:
...Tamir Rice was carrying a pellet gun near a recreation center when he was shot and killed in November. Police shot Rice in the abdomen seconds after arriving on scene in response to a 911 call that reported someone who was “ probably a juvenile ” was waving a gun that was “ probably fake ”.
“I don’t have confidence that a [state Bureau of Criminal Investigation] probe into police use-of-force would be a transparent, due-process kind of investigation,” said Jackson, according to Northeast Ohio Media Group . He instead called on the Cuyahoga County sheriff to investigate Rice’s death....
...Jackson’s comments on Sunday were similar to those he made last month after the the Department of Justice released its report on the city’s police force....
What is it about Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine that might cause anyone to think that there would be political motivations behind an investigation?
> Mike DeWine is against marriage equality and he has spent time and money fighting against it.
> Mike DeWine is against a woman's reproductive rights, including those that would allow a woman to choose to have an abortion.
> Mike DeWine's conflicts of interest in the investigation of the killing of a man at the Beavercreek Walmart. Plunderbund provided the details.
Considering the Republican control of the state, anything involving civil rights should be investigated by the U.S. Justice Department.
