Jayland Walker was fatally shot by eight members of the Akron Police Department on June 27, 2022. The Walker family has filed a $45M lawsuit against the city.
It appears to say he wasn’t firing AT them not that he didn’t discharge his weapon. So he fired a gun while being conspicuously followed by the police then ran.
Maybe we should focus on situations like justice for the young teen they jumped out of their car and gunned down before the car could even stop who wasn’t pointing his bb gun at anyone rather than dumbasses who try to scare away pursuing cops with actual gun fire and get shot.
