City of Cleveland Argues Tamir Rice Caused Tamir Rice Shooting

1
In court ********s filed Friday, the City of Cleveland formally denied responsibilityfor the police Shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, arguing his death was "directly and proximately caused" by his own actions.

Responding to the Rice family’s wrongful death lawsuit, the City listed 20 defenses against their claims, saying, in part, that "all injuries, losses, and damages complained of" were a result of Rice’s failure to "exercise due care to avoid injury."

According to that lawsuit, police acted "unreasonably, negligently [and] recklessly" when they shot the boy carrying an airsoft gun in a Cleveland park last November. As evidence of the city’s negligence, the suit cites the Justice Department’s recent report on excessive force by Cleveland police and the hiring of Rice’s shooter, previously assessed by another police force as unfit for duty.

Attorney Walter Madison, who represents the Rice family, reaffirmed his belief in the lawsuit’s merit Friday, telling The Plain Dealer, "I do believe that a 12-year-old child died unnecessarily at the hands of Cleveland police officers and I do believe that certain officers shouldn’t have been entitled to wear the uniform."

CBS pulls Rihanna Song from Ravens-Steelers broadcast in Wake of Ray Rice scandal

Rihanna, whose Song ‘Run This Town’ was set to play over a narration by actor Don Cheadle, made headlines in 2024 as a victim of domestic violence at the hands of then-boyfriend Chris Brown. Rice was cut by the Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the NFL this week after video of him punching his fiancee Janay Palmer unconscious was released by TMZ.

Corey Sipkin/New York Daily News Citing the need to have the ‘appropriate tone and coverage,’ CBS is pulling Rihanna’s Song ‘Run This Town’ from Thursday’s Ravens-Steelers broadcast.

The show must go on for the NFL, just without Rihanna.
CBS has pulled the singer’s opening theme Song from Thursday night’s broadcast of the Ravens-Steelers game, one of many programming changes made in the Wake of the Ray Rice scandal, Sports Illustrated reported.

Rice was cut by the Ravens and suspended indefinitely this week by the NFL after video of him punching his fiancee Janay Palmer unconscious was released by TMZ.
In addition to Rihanna, CBS is also scrapping a comedic segment planned for the broadcast and will now open its pregame show with a report from Norah O’Donnell, the CBS This Morning anchor who interviewed NFL Commissioner shortly after the latest Rice video surfaced.
“We thought journalistically and from a tone standpoint, we needed to have the appropriate tone and coverage,” CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus told SI.

“A lot of the production elements we wanted in the show are being eliminated because of time or tone.”
The NFL Network’s Judy Battista will also report from league headquarters during the pregame show with the latest news from the Rice case.
McManus added that the network’s on-air staff will refrain from offering their opinions on the growing calls for Goodell to resign, although “we will certainly present all the different points of view.”
