2022-10-13 -War on Police-

Eight police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Jayland Walker following a traffic stop in Akron are brought back to work following a three-month suspension by the police chief to help with 'crisis' staffing shortage

Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old black man, was shot and killed after he fled an attempted traffic stop and fired a shot from his car during the vehicle chase

Police in Akron, Ohio, fired a barrage of gunshots at Walker on June 27, and he had 46 bullet wounds in his body

The eight officers involved - who have never been named - were suspended, but on Tuesday Akron police announced they were returning to work

Steve Mylett, the city's police chief, said they were being brought back due to a staffing shortage which threatened to leave Akron without services

Mylett said he appreciated that some in the community would be concerned, but the officers would be on desk duties, and not in uniform

#1 Because cops are rarer than Jaylands.

#2 I tried to go to church in downtown Akron on Sunday this past summer, but changed my mind when I found the police had put up roadblocks all around the church, which is very close to the police station. Haven't been back there since. Ca. 1900 a would-be Akron lynch mob burned down on of the courthouses there.

#3 If I was one of those cops I think I would stand well back from actually enforcing law, at least against people who didn’t shine bright in the dark.
