Cleveland's police union is trying to get the officer who killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice back on the streets---please sign the (petition)

Dear member,

Cleveland's police union is trying to get the officer who killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice back on the streets. Will you sign my petition calling on them to stop pushing for the reinstatement of Timothy Loehmann?

The Cleveland Police Department fired Timothy Loehmann after he killed Tamir Rice and an investigation showed that he lied on his job application—hiding the fact that another police department had determined he was too unstable to be a police officer. 

Cleveland's police union has been fighting to get Loehmann his job back ever since. Police unions often succeed in getting corrupt and dangerous officers back in their jobs after the public's attention has moved on. We can stop that from happening—and make it less likely in the future—by publicly confronting the Cleveland Patrolman's Association. 

Tell Cleveland's police union: Stop defending Tamir Rice's killer and trying to get him back on the police force. We'll use your petition signatures to publicly confront the police union. 

Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice less than three seconds after getting out of his car. He should never have been hired, and he definitely shouldn't be given a second chance. He's unstable, dishonest, dangerous, and he's already killed unjustly and recklessly. 

The Cleveland Police Department's leadership decided Loehmann shouldn't be a police officer. After the police union appealed that decision, a labor arbitrator recently ruled against them—but they're still fighting to get him back on the streets with a badge and gun. Loehmann also recently tried to get another job at a nearby Ohio police department—and he was forced to withdraw his application after a massive public outcry. 

Police unions aren't used to being challenged publicly. If enough of us speak out against what the police union is doing, it will make it less likely they succeed in getting Loehmann his job back. And it will create a political cost for defending corrupt, violent, and dangerous officers—making them think twice about defending the next Timothy Loehmann. 

Join us in confronting the Cleveland police union for defending Tamir Rice's killer.
