City EMS captain fired after posting ‘Tamir Rice should have been shot’
The Cleveland employee wished he could have killed the “little criminal” himself.
Click here for reuse options!“Tamir Rice should have been shot and I am glad he is dead,” wrote Jamie Marquardt, a supervisor for Cleveland’s Emergency Medical Service, according to Cleveland’s Fox 8 TV station. “I am upset I did not get the chance to kill the little criminal.”
A spokesperson for the city denounced the post and called Marquadt’s comments “egregious.”
Rice’s death in November 2014 sparked widespread protests and outrage. It was the latest in a string of controversial incidents of police brutality against black men, including the non-indictment of Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown, and a grand jury decision in Staten Island that also refused to indict NYPD Officer David Pantaleo in the chokehold death of Eric Garner.
The 12-year-old Rice was fatally gunned down by a white police officer while he was playing with a toy gun in a park near his house. The officer, Timothy Loehmann, opened fire on Rice just seconds after pulling up next to him.

if the sorry sack of bat guano is married, i’m sure his racist wife is having a fk’n fit. “why didn’t you just keep your opinions in the family? now i’ve got to fire the maid, clean my own toilet, watch my own children, cut the lawn ourselves and i don’t have enough education to get a job and you’re going to be forever blacklisted!” i would love to be a fly on that wall.

I wish all these ignorant bigots could be weeded out and fired.
The child was 12 years old for Pete’s sake!

“Egregious”?
Try bloody “EVIL”!
Tamir was an innocent kid, not a criminal.
But, then I guess being black is a crime.
You stupid heartless RACIST BIGOT!

That is one weird, sick person. I wonder how he managed to slip under the radar to become a supervisor for EMS.
whatthe46 March 19th, 2016 at 23:38
what makes you think he slipped under the radar?
Warman1138 March 20th, 2016 at 10:48
He was working as a supervisor till he got himself fired.

The original news story linked in the ThinkProgress story refers to Jamie as “he.”

I am getting a salary of 5900 dollars each week…qt Over a year ago I was in a horrible condition , jobless and no bank credit . Thanks to one of my friends who showed me a way where I was able to gather myself and making average of 56 d/h. So it can change your life as it has changed mine. Why not try this.
Look here for details
um…

Marquardt claimed that someone else posted the comments on his FB page using his phone. This kind of thing doesn’t come out of nowhere, so I would hope they talked to his co-workers before deciding to fire him. Just to make sure there was evidence of this kind of racism before. Because it is possible it happened like he claims.

Good. Maybe now you will get a job as an ass wipe. I also read that the DA in the state was voted out. Good. They did the same thing to him, that we did to alverez, in Chicago.
