In honor of #TamirRice's birthday on June 25th, I will be donating 100% of proceeds from streaming services for Silence Is Violence to the Tamir Rice Foundation. @AppleMusic @Spotify @spotifyartists @TIDAL @amazonmusic #blacklivesmatter #silenceisviolence youtube.com/watch?v=3u8enz…
Tamir Rice should be alive today, turning 18 years old, and graduating from high school. He was an innocent 12-year-old who was playing in a park near his home when he was shot by a Cleveland police officer.
The person who called the police told the dispatcher that Tamir was probably a juvenile and the gun was probably fake. The dispatcher did not relay this information to the responding officers.
Tamir Rice was killed in less than 2 seconds of arrival by Timothy Loehmann, a Cleveland Police officer who was later fired for lying on his application to the Cleveland police department.
Loehmann was rehired as a part-time police officer at the Bellaire, Ohio police department in 2018, but quit within 5 days because of public pressure and outrage.
You too can donate to the Tamir Rice Foundation. They are currently in need of donations for renovations of the Tamir Rice Afrocentric Cultural Center. The center will provide arts, cultural, educational, and civic programs to youth ages 10-19. tamirericefoundation.org/donate
