Activist Tamika Mallory calls for arrest of Akron police officers who shot and killed Jayland Walker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzeAAhc6LW4 Following Wednesday’s funeral for Jayland Walker more than two weeks after his shooting death at the hands of Akron police, his family’s legal team held a press conference at the Akron Civic Theatre’s Knight Stage.

Walker’s cousin Roddray joined attorneys Bobby DiCello, Ken Abbarno, and Paige White to discuss “what happens next.” The gathering also featured several “distinguished guests” from outside Summit County, including who explicitly called for the arrest of the officers who shot Walker.

“We need to … reclaim the narrative, and that narrative should be ‘arrest the cops,’” Tamika Mallory with Until Freedom said in her remarks. “Lock up all the cops who are responsible for taking the life of a 25-year-old young man who was unarmed at the time that he was lynched in front of the entire world.”
