The eight Ohio police officers who fired scores of shots that killed Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, after a car and foot chase last year are back on active duty, officials said.
Akron Capt. Michael Miller, in a statement, cited a state investigation and an Ohio grand jury’s decision against indicting any officers in the June 2022 shooting death of Walker. As a result, he said, “all eight officers are back on full-time, active duty.”
Miller also said the department’s internal probe of the shooting is going through a final legal review and is expected to be released at the end of November.
Walker family attorney Bobby DiCello told WKYC-TV that the family is “saddened by the way in which they continue to be ignored” by the city of Akron, whose leaders, he said, have “never once reached out to discuss the employment of the eight officers or explain why the officers are being reinstated.”
Oh, the constitutionally defined “protectors of property, not people”? Those fascists, right?
Talk to us when you’ve been arrested multiple times and had family killed while swimming away unarmed by being shot in the back by an officer who wasn’t doing his job properly. Or when the cop who illegally entraps you, cuffs you into the car, then hits on your fiance at the scene right after. Tell me more about not generalizing a group of murderous, glorified property protectors.
ACAB all day mfer.
Get fucked. Go touch grass.
ironic, keep on hating an entire profession online without having talked to any officer once
I have and I’ve met some seemingly cool ones. But that doesn’t redefine the archetype of the role?
