CLEVELAND

Protesters upset by a decision not to indict police officers in the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice are continuing their call for the Cleveland prosecutor to step down.

More than 100 people marched to the home of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty on Friday.

Protesters chanted for McGinty to resign, chanting that “McGinty has got to go.”

March organizers told participants not to vandalize McGinty’s house, which is in a west side Cleveland neighborhood.

Police officers accompanied the marchers and stood in front of the prosecutor’s house during the protest.

McGinty announced earlier this week that the officers involved in the shooting of Rice in November 2014 would not face criminal charges.

A message was left with McGinty’s spokesman.
