The mayor of Akron, Ohio has declared a state of emergency, implemented a curfew and canceled the city’s Fourth of July fireworks display following protests in the wake of the police killing of Jayland Walker, who suffered at least 60 wounds from officer fire.
Police released body camera video footage of the 25-year-old Black man’s killing on Sunday, nearly one week after his death following what was supposed to be a routine traffic stop. After a car chase, police pursued Walker on foot before firing a hail of rounds.
