…and what training do cops get that teaches them to sim at a target that has an apartment building in the background????
The american society is used to be lied to by police. Sad.
My issue with this one isn't so much with the shoot- I can't make a determination since you can't SEE anything and we don't have any statements to go off of- could be justified, could be murder, I don't have enough to be conformable guessing);
My issues are that:
1) This is a perfect example of why bodycams should be on from the second they go on shift until the second they're off, and they shouldn't be ABLE to turn them off or mute them. It's almost 2025- An hour of 1080p video is only 1.2 gigs. A cop could pull 80 hours a week for an entire MONTH, and still barely fill up half of one of the cheap SD cards I have in my phone. It also shows why they need weapon-mounted cameras- Viridian has had then for a DECADE, they're built into the flashlight, they aren't any bulkier than "regular" wml's, and they come on automatically as soon as a gun leaves the holster- and since they're always aimed directly at a suspect during a shooting and held at eye level, they're pretty much ALWAYS going to give the absolute best view of what the officer saw at the time.
2) I' m so BEYOND tired of the "officer safety" shtick. Officer safety < everyone else's safety… INCLUDING someone they just shot, even if they think it's a suspect. This "screw all your freedoms, I'm more important" attitude is disgusting. When you've got a dozen armed men that're too afraid to approach one unresponsive person that's facedown on the ground after being shot with no weapons visible? THERE. IS. A. PROBLEM. Like, seriously? You could have two officers approach while the other 10 keep eyes and weapons on to watch for movement, but instead you're worried the guy you just shot might somehow magically get the drop on a DOZEN TRAINED INDIVIDUALS WITH WEAPONS ALREADY TRAINED ON HIM?
Screw officer safety, and screw the police unions that fight tooth and nail against the kind of accountability that weapon-mounted cameras and always-on bodycams would bring.
PSHH!
The problems come straight from the top.
Dirty Harry, where are you when the people need you?
I know akron intimately, these are diehard dems who constantly break the law. This cty is extremely corrupt
They fabricated their murder scene
Looks like two more cops headed for prison
I hope there is a Hell. Murdering a 15 year old child is sickening. What did they see in his hand that justified such an immoral act. This has got to stop. Getting ridiculous. Most people have a phone in hand always. Scary.
Actually US military can not fire unless first fired on mean while US cops can fire on you if they FEEL like you have a gun. Curious that… Also I'd like to point out that hollow points are illegal for war as they are banned by the Geneva Convention Treaty however the US police all used hot loaded hollow points. So the police can fire when they feel like it they need to while the military can not AND the police use ammo banned by the flipping Geneva convention. That's a bit bonkers to me when looked at in context of the two professions purposes or assumed purposes.
Their body cameras should all be on at all time
Are they now "FIXING" their body cams to only catch what they want to be seen
(not a question)

I'm crying and I'm tired. I hope LeBron speaks up. It's his beloved city, plus he has a voice.
I honestly thought that this was going to be the first video that I disagreed with you on. Nope. Fully agree with yet another video of yours.
Policing gets worse and worse
Rules for engagement on the battlefield. …
A battlefield, a war-torn area…
Why in the most unholy F can't the men and women who patrol our streets follow the same rules of engagement.Our streets, which are typically safe and not in the middle of a war zone… insanity
Yea it was bad they didn’t give aid to him right away. But the civil rights lawyer did say the suspect shot and why does a 15 year old have a gun at night. And this was on thanksgiving so why wasn’t he with his family. There are still people saying akron officers should not have shot Jayland walker when jayland was shooting at the cops . People in these comments automatically go against the cops. And why was he not with his parents Akron is a dangerous city where was his parents since he was out there at night ?
You should reach out to ammon bundy, he has a friend in idaho, i think it would make another great video for being arrested while protesting on public property.
Thank you for this report. I totally agree with you., this was not something that should have happened.
Cowards
Probable causeâ€â€Ã¢â‚¬â€ be in the dark, have scared police, and no where to hide!!! The immunity needs to be revoked on ALL police !!
Cops have created a culture that allows their hate, their racism, their perversions and their fears to thrive.
By not activating body cams, this cop crossed the line between accidental to intentional homicide. You as an individual citizen in this country would go to jail if you shot anyone who had their back to you, armed or not, (if that was truly the case) and then to not have turned on your body cam to give your actions a credible witness to show justification of the shooting. By not rendering aid, and immediately calling EMS knowing you already shot the person, is very telling, whether he was alive or dead the call didn’t come till well after the shooting. That being said in my opinion with the information given, this cop was “trigger stressedâ€Â, meaning he was pre disposed to shoot first and then make up the story after the fact, to back up his story! I hope the truth is revealed and justice prevails if this was not a justified killing.
It's pathetic! That a cop would even think! That they're even thought of, as being a hero! 💯 No wonder their so paranoid and worried about, officer safety 👎 Look at what they do and how they are! 💩 Hell, I'd be paranoid too! 💯
If the suspect is dead, someone can't say you are telling a BS story.
That mayor looks incompetent and unprofessional.
SADLY THERE ARE STILL SO MANY SHEEP WHO REFUSE TO WAKE UP. THEY WILL BACK THESE GOONS ALL WHILE BOARDING THE TRAIN. 😢
Ehh would have turned out a criminal anyway
Police corruption nationwide. Abolish qualified immunity. 50years in prison for cops for any reason or another
Maybe it was an acorn?
Disgusting. Either evil or cowardly behavior. I can only hope they are treated the same some day, by the courts or otherwise.
Right, u were just shot, and the first thing u think about is to put your gun away in ur pocket and zip it up. The cops committed MURDER and planted the gun.
Idiot cops , this proves that you don’t have to be SMART to be a thug cop.
So the cops say their officer's don't like discharging their firearms…. Google tells a different story about Ohio cops – like Tamir Rice.
The president of the fraternal order of police Patrick Yoes needs to be held responsible for the policies that they’ve put forth. Public safety is paramount officer safety is secondary. This belief that officer safety over public safety is getting many of my fellow citizens murdered. The fraternal order of police has become a criminal organization, much like the mafia. please President Trump do something about this. After January 6 I know where your true feelings lie about the police and we know that they’re corrupt
Right, u were just shot, and the first thing u think about is to put your gun away in ur pocket and zip it up. The cops committed MURDER..
You make excellent points. What can we do to hold our police accountable? I wish there were more rigorous training and testing to become law enforcement. What a sad story.
"You're reading Miranda to a corpse!"-Lewis Robocop 2!
why did they walk up shoulder to shoulder if they were waiting for shields? wouldn't they stack up in a line if it was so unsafe?
Wow police shot the first black person they saw. Youtube deleted this comment because the word shot was used. F what happened, shot is a scary word.
Such cowards
Sounds like they shot this kid for "walking while black", and now the APD is going to go into major CYA mode to protect themselves. Absolutely disgusting.
This looks fishy. The picture of that kid wearing a shirt about praying with his family raises a huge question in my mind: What thug in the US would wear that shirt about praying? He is a freshman in high school, too. If he regularly goes to church, too. The cops set him up and planted a gun. By his picture, he looks like an innocent looking kid.
Do american police actually get any education?
This is typical of the cowards…
Are they pussy or what ? They are very scared , they don't want to see if he is alive or died until 10 to 50 police officer came to backup these buffoons.
Many these cops are insane. Tell people get your family life insurance policies. When insurance companies have to pay out thats when alot will stop because they will apply pressure because they will be tired of paying
This may be the absolutely worst video ever on this channel. The cops are EVIL.
Typical corrupt cops! This is why cop's are hated and not trusted! Nothing but lies and Corruption!!!
