Should the officer who killed Tamir Rice be charged with murder?

I think, similar to the trayvon Martin case, that under the law the officer may be not guilty but that he should be/should have been fired a long time ago, that the Cleveland police department is systemically racist, and they need to radically rethink/redesign their policing procedures.

The case where the cop just raced in with his car, jumped out and shot him in record fashion? Manslaughter at least. Why didn't they bring in backup, keep distance and form a perimeter around him to find out what is going on? Oh, why do that when they can just shoot him. After all, he's just a black kid. Who cares, right?

Police know the risks of their job. Shooting someone should be a last resort, and based on what happened, I don't understand how the cop could have even known he was actually a real threat.

Can't say I am surprised to see the poll starting off with a solid 2-0 (NO) from Republicans.

Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that, but I guess the point is that the law is not written to hold people, especially cops, accountable for recklessly escalating situations like you said.  It should be!
