Mayor apologizes after US city faults boy for own death
... In a 41-page response Friday to a federal lawsuit filed by Rice's family, the city asserted that the boy had failed to "exercise due care to avoid injury" when he was shot.
It also claimed that his death was "directly and proximately caused" by his own actions.
"In an attempt to protect our defenses, we used words and phrased things in such a way that was very insensitive to the tragedy in general and the victim in particular," he told reporters.
