Well yes,  2 Outside Reviews Say Cleveland Officer Acted Reasonably in fatally Shooting Tamir Rice, 12, on November 22, 2014.

Here is some of the text from the Times article:

Two outside investigators looking into the death of Tamir Rice have concluded that a Cleveland police officer, Tim Loehmann, acted reasonably in deciding last year to shoot when he confronted the 12-year-old boy carrying what turned out to be a replica gun.

Those opinions, reached separately by a Colorado prosecutor and a former F.B.I. supervisory special agent, were released Saturday night by the Cuyahoga County prosecutor, Timothy J. McGinty, whose office will ultimately present evidence in the case to a grand jury to decide on possible criminal charges.

“The question is not whether every officer would have reacted the same way,” Kimberly A. Crawford, the retired F.B.I. agent, wrote in her report, which noted that Officer Loehmann had no way of knowing Tamir’s gun was fake. “Rather, the relevant inquiry is whether a reasonable officer, confronting the exact same scenario under identical conditions could have concluded that deadly force was necessary.”

And then a Google search for “Shooting of a 12 year old boy” finds nearly every news outlet (although I only cite the first ten or so) reporting that the “shooting was either reasonable in some accounts, or justified in others.  And we are all, I suppose, relieved. For on the face of it, a policeman with a real gun fatally shooting a boy with a toy gun is just an ugly scene. But given the circumstances it may be justified as the authorities concluded, but reasonable? There are those who believe that killing is never reasonable. Necessary perhaps. I don’t know what I believe. It does seem that as Jeb Bush says, “stuff happens.” But that’s no answer as others were quick to point out.

First the report in the Times, and then CNN, Yahoo News, Gawker, Fox News, and probably hundreds of others if I had looked beyond page one of my search.
