Cleveland police officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice is fired — but not for the killing

At the time of the shooting, Loehmann had been with the Cleveland police for less than eight months. When he applied for the job, he told Cleveland police that he had resigned from the police force in a nearby suburb for “personal reasons.” But records show that the Independence Police Department had deemed Loehmann unfit to be an officer and that he had “an inability to emotionally function.” That department allowed Loehmann to resign rather than be discharged. Later, he applied to another suburban department but failed a written exam — which he also did not disclose when he applied for the Cleveland police force.

In a letter firing Loehmann dated May 30, 2017, Cleveland Public Safety Director Michael McGrath said that the investigation concluded that Loehmann told at least four lies about his prior employment as an officer when he applied to the department.

Here's a stellar new example out of San Diego. "13 Arrested in Human Trafficking Operation," the local NBC headline declares. What the headline fails to make at all clear is that not a single one of the arrests were on human trafficking charges, nor was a single trafficking victim recovered.

Just how many police officers did it take to take down these 13 nonviolent offenders? According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, more than 75 law enforcement agents participated. The agencies involved included the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement/Immigration Enforcement and Removal Operations, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, the U.S. Marshals Service, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Internal Revenue Service.

By what law? State law or the Constitution?

I think the way that works is if you are pulled over you are (usually at least) already under the suspicion of a violation, even if that's only having a light out. This is what brings about the right to demand ID.

In many states the officer is required by law to tell you why you've been pulled over. I guess unless you know the law of the state, it's in the driver's best interest to comply.

To be honest I can't think of any sane reason that wouldn't be required in every state.
