New Video Shows Tamir Rice's Sister Being Tackled by Cops

New surveillance video shows Cleveland cops tackling Tamir Rice's 14-year-old sister, who came running to the aid of her 12-year-old brother after police shot him in a park. The video shows the girl running across snowy grass on Nov. 22 toward her brother. She is confronted by Officer Frank Garmback and pushed her to the ground. Officer Timothy Loehmann, a one-year cop who shot Rice twice, joins Garmback and helps hold down the girl. In December, Tamir's mother, Samaria Rice, said police had restrained her daughter with handcuffs and waited several minutes before administering first aid. Rice's death, along with the fatal police shootings of Missouri's Michael Brown and New York's Eric Garner, have fueled angry demonstrations across the country by protesters accusing police of racism against black suspects.
