This Cop shot and killed a 12 year old with a play gun. WHY WAS HE EVER HIRED? Check out his history.

A five-month tenure at a police department could hardly be worse than the five months Timothy Loehmann spent with the Independence police department. His supervising officers were long-suffering and attempted to help him through his emotional instability and incompetence, but it was just too much to overcome. More than any other statement in the 62-page report, though, was the final statement offered by his supervising officer, which should have precluded Loehmann from being hired in Cleveland or anywhere else. It states, "I do not believe time, nor training, will be able to change or correct these deficiencies."
It's this statement, and the accumulation of complaints about Loehmann's short tenure with the Independence police department that makes it so disturbing that the Cleveland police department now admits that when they hired him in March 2014 that didn't take even a cursory glance at his record or the harsh recommendations from his supervising officers.
We now learn, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, that Loehmann, in the months after he left Independence, applied for with police departments in Akron, Euclid, and Parma Heights, Ohio, and was turned down.
Then, in September 2013, Loehmann failed the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department's written entrance exam, with a failing score of 46 out of 100. Note: 70 is the minimum score allowable for entrance.
Considering all of this, it is a tragic and fatal flaw in our system of government if such a person, in spite of the enormous evidence that he is not fit to be an officer of the law, was ever afforded the opportunity again. The position comes with too much power and the potential to inflict far too much harm for someone like Loehmann to ever hold it. Ultimately, his poor judgment and incompetence not only makes all officers look bad, but it cost a 12-year-old boy his life.
