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.”

    Yes I would you fucking coward, don’t project your insecurities on to us like cops do, you pathetic worm. You gonna’ fight me over having a different opinion? You must hate the first amendment. Maybe you’re living in the wrong country if you don’t like people being able to speak ill of the government or its “services”.

    Fucking pathetic coward, afraid of four letters.

        Shut the fuck up, go back to 2011. Yes, not all cops are bad, most law enforcement are either fundamentally useless or flat out corrupt.

        I, along with others, called the cops on a group of individuals who were blasting up and down a two lane street in our town, waving guns out the windows. The bitches drove by, never flashed their lights, and drove off.

        Guess what those kids proceeded to do? So yes, fuck cops.
