“We’re all bracing for the community’s response and the one message that we have is the family does not need any more violence,” DiCello said. After several minutes Walker exited his vehicle and ran, while officers chased him on foot and fired at him, saying he presented a “deadly threat,” the police department said in a statement on Tuesday.

Gotcha. So this shooter was wearing a ski mask, fired his gun, led police on high speed chase, then when he stopped ran on foot without the police knowing if he still had the gun and people are freaking out because he was shot? Sounds justified to me.

WhiteHouse & USCIRF should focus on USA UNHumanRights Tolerance like (1) Black intolerance by Whites BlackLivesMatter (2) Female intolerance by Men AbortionRightsAreHumanRights (3) Intolerance to life due to GunViolence (4) Intolerance over NativeAmerican Indians

He reportedly shot at the police from his car during the car chase, his gun was in the car. You don’t get to shoot at the cops and then run away Scott free. That is a legal and justified fleeing felon shoot under Tenn. v. Garner. Case closed.

Every cop who fired a shot should be fired and charged with murder. At this point unarmed black men are being hunted & killed like animals by the police. Black ppl should fear for their lives when dealing with police to the point where they may need to defend themselves.

Yamiche Coroners can document the holes in Jayland's body, but who can count the holes left in the fabric of his friends and family? These police shootings target individuals, but the aftermath extends to the community.

MSM needs to be held accountable for the brazen effort to stoke the fires of racial discord & police hatred. They’re quite intentionally omitting important details of the Akron Ohio shooting. Anyone directly affected by the riots that most likely will ensue should be able to sue

He was wearing a ski mask! How are you going to claim this was racist?

Why was he running away from the cop

Jayland got the JUSTICE he brought upon himself, after fleeing from (and shooting at) police on consecutive nights.

Just a thought. Don't run from the police. Not saying shooting him his okay, but obeying authority would eliminate the possibility.

jayland fled & fired a gun at officers jayland didn't care where his bullets end up jayland doesn't care if he killed your kid, your mom or your dad jayland only cares about himself. So when you read about bystanders getting hit by stray bullets, think about innocent jayland.

Wow what a great headline. With out even letting the Body worn camera video be released. This is what Propaganda looks like. The court of public opinion.!

60 times. That’s over kill or an Execution

How have those officers not been fired yet?

What was his previous record like?

He had a gun. They shot until he wasn't a threat

Is the hunt by police for young black men to murder back on?

I do not understand why there’s so many “traffic violations” by unarmed black men. I hope you can hear the sarcasm in my voice. There is no excuse for shooting someone 90 times. NONE.

Jayland Walker is not the innocent looking kid the picture implies. He could have just complied at the traffic stop. Instead, he fled in his car, fired back at the police, then fled on foot. Police pursued and tragically it ended in death, but Walker is not innocent in this

Guess they forgot their slogan 'Hands up don't shoot'

Lol when the body cam videos shows this “black angel” I’m sure he will be labeled .. but if and when it shows him being a POS criminal,it will still be fhe WHITE cops fault no matter thw outcome, It’s like being born with built in cheat codes … zero accountability responsibility

Then they handcuffed the body.

JoyAnnReid This was a firing squad🤬 90 shoots excessive force.. just sadness being Black in America

Why was he running from police ? Does he have a criminal record ? If he does was that criminal record with a firearm ? Looks like we may find out the Truth Sunday NBC News .

If you're interested in the truth you will never believe these race hustlers. Read the police report and review the cops video.

Abolish the police.

That's what happens when you shoot at Police. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Yamiche Drs are doing fake surgeries and billing Medicaid fraudently and removing body parts and to conceal the crime they produce fake images and reports. Numerous of Drs and hospitals and administrators are involved. wherearemybodyparts

I consider it failure of parenting if your black son up and runs from cops. I don't care your race...purely innocent people don't run. Cops need to use less than lethal and let courts handle these situations. But seriously....stop running. Jeez

I'm 67 and white if I shot at the police they'd probably shoot at me a whole bunch too. It's usually keep going until the threat is no longer a problem. If I shot it to police that's what I would expect to get.

Yep they're always claim he was at churchgoing loving man who would never run from the police or commit any crimes

In these cases, the victim's family should be allowed to return the favor to the cop or their loved one in the same manner. I bet these heinous acts STOP immediately.

Oh so now you decided to report it - a week later and you can't even get the facts right!!!

Why would you flee and fire shots at officers. I wonder if he's a convicted felon that was in possession of a gun and rather than go to jail decided to shoot it out🤔 If you have to shoot at a person 60 times then I would suggest more range time🤦

Yamiche I would be looking past the immediate affiliations of these officers for the cause of such extreme measures.

Yamiche And they all on paid leave like they just didn’t kill this young man in COLD BLOOD! thatcouldhavebeenmyson

Yamiche They fired at him 90 times

Yamiche Here we go again!

Did you just write “by shooting dozens of times” so now European Ameikkkan media call 60 shots into a body a “few dozen”

Talk about overkill...

JoyAnnReid You forgot to say he ran 2 nights in a row and he was shooting at the cops.

JoyAnnReid “Dozens” is a gross understatement.

Don’t run from the cops. Simple

If only he'd been in Africa on holiday!

I understand there are some issues with unnecessary force but They have a responsibility to the public as well, if you are not complying and running away you are considered a threat to society.

Police officers...White Supremacists.

Why did he run away? If he was innocent, why run?

DrBLK00 Some officers ruin it for most officers. It's gonna take the good ones to weed out the bad ones for this to ever improve.

Praying for his family.🙏🙏🙏

NBCartoon Tabloid Network spinning hypocrites, and the rest of the story?

Dozens? Try 5 'dozen' hit him out of the 90 shots they fired.

I guess 'halt or I'll shoot' is just ignored today, with consequences.

JoyAnnReid That picture has to be fake. It looks like a white man holding that photo. Last time I checked Crump was still black.

Was that one of Herschel's kids he wanted to get rid of?

JoyAnnReid Again, where is the threat when a man’s back is facing police officers?

This is the America, that AmeriKKKa wants. Save your 'He should have complied.' Domestic terrorists complied and got water and Burger King, and gently cuffed. JaylandWalker

JoyAnnReid Like 7.5 dozen times for a traffic violation!!!! 😡 JusticeForJaylandWalker

JoyAnnReid When will WHITECRIMINALCOPS be held accountable for their actions? WhiteGirlAsks

Is his last name TILL

I thought if a civilian kills someone who doesn’t pose a threat to him or her that’s considered a murder. So?

Sorry for his death. So sad. We need public education to not run from police. Don’t fight police. Don’t resist arrest. Listen to police.

How many times does it need to be repeated? DON’T POINT A GUN AT THE POLICE! DON’T RUN. DONT RESIST. DONT BREAK THE FCKN LAW

Your headline should state the fact that the suspect fired at police first.

No your lies killed him FakeNews
