Protesters took to the streets of Akron, Ohio on Sunday to demand justice for the killing of 25-year-old Jayland Walker, a Black man whose body was found with some 60 gunshot wounds after he fled a traffic stop last week.
The march, led by the civil rights organization Akron National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), gathered hundreds of demonstrators who marched in the streets, waving “Black Lives Matter” flags and chanting “we are done dying!” and “justice for Jayland!”
Sunday’s protest began shortly after Akron police released bodycam video, which shows eight police officers were involved in a shooting that killed Walker.
Police played multiple videos at an earlier news conference, one of which they say shows a gunshot being fired from the car driven by Walker. He fled in his vehicle after officers attempted to pull him over for a minor traffic violation.
After a chase lasting several minutes, Walker jumped out of the car and ran away from police, the video showed. Police said it appears he was turning toward officers, who at the time believed he was armed. A gun was later recovered from his car.
The eight officers directly involved in the shooting have been placed on paid administrative leave, Akron Police Chief Stephen Mylett said, and they have not made any individual statements.

Yes educate the youth to “Ak right” to stop being killed. She should have taught him not to fire on police and drive away..
How did they know he was black when he had a ski mask on? Oh, the ski mask was black so that was close enough? If someone wrote a how-to for getting yourself shot by police it might read "lead police on a high speed case, shoot at them out the window, stop and get out with a ski mask on, run a short distance and then abruptly turn around and make movements with your arms and hands which is not putting them up, enjoy the lead shower".
Those officers saw a person fleeing in a vehicle at 90+ mph in the middle of the night, firing shots at them, then jumping out with a balaclava on, running and turning towards them like he was going to open fire. You mean to tell me you have to wait for someone to shoot at you first to defend yourself? Every week several police officers across the US are killed in shootings, they could have been next in line and they rightfully defended themselves. Condolences to the Walker family, I'm glad the officers are fine. This man had plenty of opportunity to resolve this situation peacefully. He decided otherwise. That's on him.
he did have a gun and did shoot first left the gun in the car and ran SO
Why did the authorities make such an announcement at this time?
July 4th is a celebration of Britain's loss of America.
🤣😂😂 the 🌚 shot at the cops and was violent but lets pull another burn loot murder, gtfo
Again a criminal will be turned into a saint. By the media. And the Wokeople !
Shoots first ask questions later. Maybe we the people should try that aproch on the goverment. We might get somewhere
If people actually paid attention we would wonder why, in Canada, 85% of journalist, reporters and anchors working for our mainstream news come from families in the top 1% of wealthy families in Canada. If we paid attention of course.
Spin the lie , the media is the real problem. Too bad they don’t shoot journalists.
Ohio is one of the most racist cities in the USA. It is a well known fact. Cops alway diporpotionatley target black citizens, they calimed he shot at them but you hear no gun fire before theirs. they were like apack of hyeanas on a young guy who was probably scared considering the agregious history of police in Ohio and their terror on black citizens. These killer cops they were were thirsty for blood it seems. BULLETS
More complete bull💩!!! White people are victims of police shootings 2 to 1 compared to blacks!!! When a white person is killed by police, MSM totally ignores it, doesn't even bother to report on it because that would break the stereotype of blacks being victims of police violence.
Weird…how you get TONS of information about an American shooting incident on a CANADIAN media outlet…and practically NOTHING but secrecy on a Canadian shooting incident…YEARS after the occurrence.
Canadian media…the BEST brainwashing that money can buy.💲
Any american police officer found in Canada will be gutted like a fish. Zero tolerance, zero chances.
He fired a gun out the window in a high speed chase!!!
Live by the gun, die by the gun. Another turd gone.
Poor reporting is what leads to mass protests. why not include in the title that he had a gun and shot was fired at police.
the guy litterally shot at the cop just moments before ditching his gun and starting running.
"unarmed" yeah yeah for sure
He got the justice he deserved.
But heeeeeyyy, I seem to remember a certain someone recently from Kentucky that killed two cops and a k9, and was surrounded by police and STILL wasn't killed. Not a single bullet hole in him. He was brought into court on a plea of not guilty. What's the difference? The Kentucky man was white. Jaylin killed no one, but he died anyway.
By shooting at the officers, Jayland chose suicide by cop. One thing these people will never protest against is poor life decisions. Instead, they're shouting for "justice" as if it's a menu item at Burger King. Embarrassing.
Give me a break here! First of all he didn't stop for police when asked to, second, he fired shots at the police from his vehicle, third he was told multiple times to stop. If this Criminal had of behaved like a normal regular decent civilian, and pulled over, he would still be alive today! But guess what? he behaved like a criminal and got shot. There is absolutely nothing to protest here. Unless you want more criminals firing guns at police on the streets?
The amount of verified information you bring is tremendous.. <Bitcoin continues its wild swings between $19-21.5K the market dynamics of the last few days indicate that the whales are making some big transfers of bitcoin from one pocket to another. <Either this is an attitude of speculation in the range or whipping up froth to attract capital from retail investors who may feel that the low point has been passed. <Additionally, the 2022 volume profile is very thin, between $32-$37k if bulls want to send a message to the market that a new uptrend is about to begin, then they will need to push Bitcoin price to a daily close near $44k. <Macro factors are demanding further downside, as the impact of inflation and geopolitical strife is clearly felt on equities markets. Until BTC reclaims the key moving averages these are considered distribution rallies used to sell the rip or add to short positions…But whatever you lose in a macro downtrend, you'll gain multiples back in a macro uptrend. All you have to do is pay attention to the markets when they are ultra bearish. Everyone was super bullish on the markets, but now the markets start to correct, and the fear takes over, as retail trader at these volatile times I keep profiting regardless using accurate trade signals from McCord Kobe my portfolio have been on a rise although the rates are capricious wiping out some of my profits i still have about 9.14' btc! worth of crypto assets. <There might be so many investments out there but if profits must be considered, which is actually the sole aim of every Investment then I’ll advice you to go into crypto trading because it has higher profit returns. You can reach out to Mr McCord on <

Link up with him and remember to share your experience with others..
"No Justice, No Peace???" Looks like he got Justice, so where's the Peace?
👎 blm is a fraudulent terrorist organization plagued with antiwhitism.
This is a way of not taking responsibility for the problems in your community…..
For a criminal?
Take a moment to appreciate all the Idiocracy and moronic behaviour being displayed in this video…
They want peace but can't put down that Thuhg/hoodd lifestyle. They want peace but always committing crime. They want peace but always resisting and running away. UNTIL you learn to NOT do those things you will continue to repeat the cycle. You know…. Bee-Ell-Em don't want solutions, they want problems. Can't push an agenda or movement without dead bodies. No dead bodies is no movement. Hmmmmm….
Here's an idea.
Be human.
Stop committing crimes.
Duh
Once again MSM not letting facts destroy there left wing narrative. Shame on you MSM.
They demand justice only because a white cop shot him? What about all the black on black killings, you don’t demand justice for them?
If you follow orders you won’t get shot
My black friends where were you when your black brothers beat and killed Asians? Why don't you protest?! Asian lives matter! Not only black lives matter!
Maybe instead of we are done dying you should start with stop running from the police smh, quit using someone else as a crutch cause i don’t see none of you protesting gang shootings ? I don’t see none of you protesting drugs in the street or drug related deaths ? All you do is see someone the same skin color as you and you use it as a crutch! Well it’s happened in the past or govt is made to keep a black man or any other race then white to stay down. I’ve seen homeless Hispanics, I’ve seen homeless White people I’ve seen homeless black people but I’ve also seen rich Hispanics, rich black people and white people the only reason anyone stays down is cause you let them keep you down or you had habits nobody knew about and you played a blame game.
Jaylan got Justice. He was shooting at police from a speeding vehicle then ran away from the car with a ski mask on. The police did not know if he still possessed a weapon when he turned and reached for something.
jaylan walker played a stupid game and won 60 stupid prizes!! Congrats dirt nap recipient!!
Let’s see he shot at a cop out the window, he ran from the police, he got out of his car and got shot many times over. One less thug to terrorize people the police did a good job. Justice was served and the community is the better for it. The so called woke and social justice warriors are a joke and are running the west into the ground. The rest of the world is laughing at our pathetic weakness.
He had a mask on!! He ran!!!
F off with your bulkshit global.
These protesters are too dumb to realize justice was served.
Celebrate!
We're Sitting-Back on the sofa with the kids, Popcorn, Drinks, Snacks and re-winding the footage lol..
This Teaches Our Children Whom NOT to befriend and who they will NOT hang around..
Kudos to all Police Officers for making our streets a bit more safer!
Y'all lead cops on high speed chases with ski masks on?!
Take it y'all shoot at cops too?
Come on people.
He shot first… justice was served? Maybe he should have put his hands up and surrendered if he disarmed and didnt want to get shot?
