Rice's mother, Samaria, is "thankful for those protests [which have] resulted in his resignation," Ward said on Samaria's behalf.
She was initially "angered" and "outraged" at the news of Loehmann's hiring, as she claims that Loehmann "is not fit to be a police officer," Ward told Fox News. However, at the notice that Loehmann resigned, Rice is "gratified that that happened."
