    CLEVELAND (AP) — The city of Cleveland is asking Tamir Rice’s estate to pay $500 for his ambulance ride and medical services he received after he was shot by a police officer.

    The city requested the money as the boy’s “last dying expense” in a creditor’s claim filed Wednesday in Cuyahoga County Probate Court. The claim states the money is overdue.

    A family attorney for the estate called the claim callous and insensitive as the 12-year-old was killed by the city’s own police officers.

    Rice, who is black, was shot by a white police officer in November 2014 outside a recreation center. He had an airsoft pistol that police say resembled a real gun.

    The city’s police union president says the claim is unconscionable.

    A city spokesman declined comment citing ongoing litigation.

    Really? They managed to escape this situation without things ending up like Ferguson or Baltimore, and they do this? What are they thinking?

    Why do something so brainless, insensitive, and incendiary? Especially when they have the GOP convention coming up?
