On June 27 at approximately 12:30am the Akron, Ohio police tried to perform a simple traffic stop for a traffic violation on a car operated by Jayland Walker. Walker decides to run from the police, fire a round from his car, then ditch the car, as its running, and make moves to have the officer believe that their life is at risk. The officers fired on Walker. Walker was unarmed. Walker is a black man.
In Highland Park, IL 21 year old Robert Crimo went on the roof of a commercial building and shot numerous people at the start of the Fourth of July parade killing 7 injuring dozens more. Crimo is taken in custody without incident. Crimo is white.
And of course the usual gang of idiots want to point out the race of the suspects and one is alive and the other is not. That’s because the officers in both situations did what they were trained to do. Akron police all saw a threat and acted they way they were trained to do. It’s called muscle memory. One officer saw that Walker was no longer a threat and was screaming “Cease fire.” Police in Highland Park have to deal with a tragedy like no other. Like most of these mass shooters. They give up without incident. If these soy boys did resist, I’m sure there would be different outcomes.
If anything, the public should be thankful Walker and Crimo are off the streets.
