Didn't the police claim he was armed and shot at them? I have no idea what happened but if he was shown to be unarmed in that bodycam footage it will be riots.
found a casing in a car, another on the street, they claim when he got out and ran he made a threatening gesture

First off, rest in peace to Jayland Walker.
Secondly, each of the animals who are complicit in that brother's murder should be fired & charged. If they aren't, then the city of Akron should burn.

I mostly definitely see these cops getting charged especially if he was unarmed and didn't provoke those cops. I expect the DOJ to also get involved at some point and assess federal charges on top of any charges they get.

I'm sick of this bullshyt no place in America is safe for black folks to live.

Akron police say they attempted to stop Walker’s car just after midnight Monday for a traffic infraction and equipment issue. Walker instead led the officers on a high-speed chase down East Tallmadge Avenue toward State Route 8.

At some point, police say Walker fired a gun. Sources tell 3News Investigates that one casing was found in Walker’s car and a second was found on the roadway near Route 8.

The 4 1/2-minute chase took police south on Route 8 with speeds reaching about 80 mph at times, police said. Walker, 25, eventually jumped out of the car on Wilbeth Road near the Bridgestone Tire offices.

Police say they first deployed their tasers, but ultimately opened fire after they said Walker made motions that caused them to fear bodily harm. Eight officers unleashed a hail of gunfire that was captured on body cameras worn by the officers.

Sources say some of the last shots were fired while Walker’s body was on the pavement. Walker was on the ground dead when medical help arrived. Autopsy records show he was handcuffed after the shooting. He was not armed at the time he was shot, sources said.

A gun, however, was recovered inside Walker’s car, the same sources confirmed.

It is unclear why Walker fled police. He has no past criminal records aside from a speeding ticket.

I’m of defending the police at all, and we know they lie. But leading them on a chase is never a good idea. They have to be leaving out information.

Hmmmmm......

Time after time...don't play games with police....it never ends well.

Imagine if he took the L on the stop and went to jail and got a court date.

High speed pursuit.....allegedly 2 shots at the police?

Our brothers never learn how to move around police

Rip brother
