Jayland Walker

Black And White Justice


The white Highland Park shooter killed seven people and injured 46 (at this time). The police took him alive.

On May 14 of this year, a white gunman murdered ten black people at Tops supermarket in Buffalo. The police took him alive.

In 2015, white Dylann Roof shot and killed nine black parishioners inside a church in Charleston, South Carolina. The police took him alive and treated him to lunch at Burger King.

In March of last year, a white gunman murdered six Asian women at spas in the Atlanta area. Police took him alive.

In 2015, inspired by phony videos produced by a right-wing outlet claiming Planned Parenthood clinics were selling baby body parts, a white shooter attacked an abortion clinic in Colorado Springs and murdered three people. Police took him alive.

A white gunman murdered 12 at a theater in Aurora, Colorado in 2012, killing 12. He was taken alive.

In 2011, a white shooter killed six in Tucson, Arizona, and injured Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and several others. Police took him alive.

Racist right-wing whacko rancher Cliven Bundy and his heavily-armed white militia had a standoff with police in 2014 over some stupid right-wing bullshit. Guess what. They were all taken alive.

Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old white punk-ass beyotch, killed three at a Black Lives Matter protest and the cops initially drove right past him.

George Floyd, an unarmed black man, was killed by police after trying to spend a $20 counterfeit bill.

Breonna Taylor, an unarmed black woman, was shot eight times and murdered by police while she was sleeping after they broke into her home at the wrong address, looking for a person they already had in custody.

Rayshard Brooks, an unarmed black male, was shot in the back by police after they found him sleeping in his car.

In 2014, Cleveland Police murdered Tamir Rice, an unarmed black 12-year-old boy, for playing with a toy gun.

Philando Castile, an unarmed black man, was shot and killed by police during a traffic stop while reaching into the glove compartment to comply with the cops’ request for his vehicle registration.

Botham Jean, an unarmed black man, was shot and killed by a cop in his own apartment after the cop walked in thinking she was in her apartment and he was a burglar.

And last week, Jayland Walker was shot 60 times and killed by police in Akron, Ohio. Guess what. He was an unarmed black man.

It’s believed the Akron police shot at Walker around 90 times which is more shots than the Highland Park murderer got off (75). The Akron Police tried to put more bullets into one black man than the Highland Park mass shooter tried to put into a crowd.

Cops don’t seem to believe black lives matter, but white murderers’ lives do.

Fear For Your Life In Akron


Eight cops in Akron, Ohio shot a 25-year-old unarmed black man last week…60 times. That is not a typo. They shot the young man SIXTY FUCKING TIMES. We may find out later the number is greater than 60.

Jayland Walker fled from the police during a routine traffic stop. He drove away, then abandoned his vehicle and ran for his life. The cops say he shot at them first, firing one shot, but he didn’t have his gun on him when they recovered his body. They found one unloaded gun in his car next to a fully-loaded magazine.

Walker didn’t have a criminal record and other than the gun, the cops didn’t find anything suspicious or illegal in his car. They say they pulled him over for an equipment and traffic violation. So, why would he have shot at the police? Since the gun was unloaded, did it just contain the one bullet he shot or did he remove the clip after the shot? If so, where is that clip, because the clip the cops found was fully loaded. Or did he fire at the cops, remove the clip, then add one more bullet to it. I haven’t heard that any other ammunition was found on him or in the vehicle. This is not making a lot of sense to me. For eight cops and an entire department that needs to get its story straight, they’re doing a shitty job of making shit up.

A video of the shooting has been released, but Akron Police have not released all of the bodycam videos. Why is that? The chief of police says he didn’t see any evidence that the cops’ lives were ever threatened.

It’s up to prosecutors to decide to charge the eight cops or not, but cops are rarely charged in incidents like this. Prosecutors may use the one shot the cops claim Walker fired as evidence their lives were in danger and a reason not to prosecute…despite the fact that if you divide the 60 shots, each cop shot an unarmed Jayland Walker 7.5 times.

Walker wore a ski mask when he ran for his life. Defenders of the police have used that as an acceptable excuse for the police’s actions. Currently trending on Twitter from racist goons are “JaylandWalkerShotFirst, #JaylandShotFirst, and “JaylandGotJustice. This is not justice.

Wearing a ski mask and running from the police should not warrant a death sentence. Even firing once at cops doesn’t justify them shooting the suspect 60 times. You know the cops didn’t hit the suspect with every shot, so if they shot him 60 times, how many shots did they fire? I’m pretty sure the cops keep an inventory of their bullets so they should have already provided an answer for that question.

There are protests in Akron over this. Authorities have called for a “state of emergency” in the city. I think for a lot of its citizens, Akron has been in a state of emergency for a very long time.
