We will now look at a stark example of systemic racism.
AKRON, Ohio – Authorities on Sunday released "heartbreaking" video of the fatal shooting of Black motorist Jayland Walker in a hail of bullets minutes after Akron police say he fled a traffic stop last week.
Videos released Sunday show officers converging on Walker's silver Buick at the end of a chase. Walker apparently exits the car in a ski mask, and Police Chief Stephen Mylett said it appeared that Walker reached toward his waist during a foot chase and briefly turned toward officers. They opened fire.
They found no gun on him and the line from the Police Chief is the classic CYA. But let's go with his story.
Walker was supposedly driving and firing his gun back at police. Then he got out and ran. He got 60 bullet holes in him for that. The usual suspects will make claims about him running and resisting.
The fatal shootings of two officers were announced the morning after the incident, but another officer who had been in critical condition succumbed to his injuries Friday night, Kentucky State Trooper Matt Gayheart confirmed.
Four officers were attempting to serve a warrant to 49-year-old Lance Storz at his home on Main Street when he opened fire with a rifle, according to his arrest citation.
About three hours later, Lance Storz, 49, was taken into custody, Gayheart said. He was booked into the Pike County Detention Center about 4:30 a.m. and charged with two counts of murdering a police officer, five counts of attempted murder of a police officer, one count of attempted murder and one count of first-degree assault of a service animal, court records show.
This guy not only resisted arrest, but he killed 3 officers, a police dog and injured 4 others. He did not get 60 bullet holes. He was taken into custody alive.
Had he been black, a member of the First Nations or Hispanic, he would be dead.
