<p>It has been reported that Tamir Rice&#8217;s family reached a settlement for the federal lawsuit they filed against the city of Cleveland for his death.</p>
<p>According to CNN, Cleveland will pay Tamir&#8217;s family $6 million even though the terms of the agreement will maintain that the city &#8220;acknowledges no fault in Tamir&#8217;s death.&#8221;</p>
<p>His family argued that the 911 dispatcher failed to tell police that the gun Tamir had was most likely a toy which created the &#8220;perfect storm of human error, mistakes and communications.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">For those who aren&#8217;t familiar with the story, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was killed by Officer Timothy Loehmann back in November 2014 when he was alerted about a boy playing a gun. Just moments after arriving to the scene, Officer Loehmann, who was a trainee at the time, shot and killed Tamir not realizing that the gun was a toy. His story made headlines when video footage was recovered from the incident. </span></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Tamir family&#8217;s lawsuit also claims that Officer Loehmann was not fit to be a police officer and that the city should have done better with choosing who is allowed to wear the blue uniform.</p>
<p>Mayor Frank Jackson, did not speak much about the terms of the settlement but did say, &#8220;There is no price that you can put on the life, on the loss, of a 12-year-old child.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hopefully Tamir&#8217;s family can find a way to heal. Lets chat below</p>
