Akron police release bodycam footage after shooting death of Jayland WalkerPolice released video the mayor called “heartbreaking” of the pursuit and shooting of 25-year-old Jayland Walker. Walker sustained more than 60 wounds. They Shot Him in the Back More Than 90 Times! ☝🏿🤦🏿‍♂️🧐🤦🏿‍♂️🇺🇸 The 'heartbreaking' part was that he brought it in himself. Why don't you grow a pair, Chief, and give the officers a medal instead of criticism for handling a tough situation and being shot at? Your bowing before BLM is so 2020, and embarrassing to your whole city.

Akron police release bodycam video of Jayland Walker shootingPolice have released footage of the shooting death of a 25-year-old man killed by Akron police following a car and foot chase early Monday. Police said officers believed he had fired a shot from his vehicle. From WKSU: WKSU There is too little information on this incident currently that needs to be investigated. There are not enough details, & it's not looking good for MNPD from the initial reports. ReleaseTheData WKSU Looks like a good shoot. I fully expect Antifa/BLM to riot and cause untold damage. Because it is a standard leftist practice now. WKSU The classic, 'we heard a shot' excuse. Wow, that is pathetic. That is not justification for the rule of engagement on a subject I've ever seen. There's a new lawsuit against the police. That's an execution.

It could have been my son. It’s OK to protest, but we also ask them to do it in a peaceful manner.” Stop trying to reason with these people. There is no situation where they will think a cop is justified in shooting a black man. 'Akron Deputy Mayor Marco Sommerville. “I have sons. It could have been my son.' You teach your sons to shoot at the police and lead them on a high speed chase? it's OK to protest, but do it in a way that's totally acceptable to those in power.
