The eight Ohio police officers who fired scores of shots that killed Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, after a car and foot chase last year are back on active duty, officials said.

Akron Capt. Michael Miller, in a statement, cited a state investigation and an Ohio grand jury’s decision against indicting any officers in the June 2022 shooting death of Walker. As a result, he said, “all eight officers are back on full-time, active duty.”

Miller also said the department’s internal probe of the shooting is going through a final legal review and is expected to be released at the end of November.

Walker family attorney Bobby DiCello told WKYC-TV that the family is “saddened by the way in which they continue to be ignored” by the city of Akron, whose leaders, he said, have “never once reached out to discuss the employment of the eight officers or explain why the officers are being reinstated.”

You must hate the first amendment. Maybe you’re living in the wrong country if you don’t like people being able to speak ill of the government or its “services”.

                Shut the fuck up, go back to 2011. Yes, not all cops are bad, most law enforcement are either fundamentally useless or flat out corrupt.

                I, along with others, called the cops on a group of individuals who were blasting up and down a two lane street in our town, waving guns out the windows. The bitches drove by, never flashed their lights, and drove off.

                Guess what those kids proceeded to do? So yes, fuck cops.

            I tell cops to their face to “get the fuck out of my neighborhood. We don’t like organized crime here.” Every time they harass my neighbors. Try again. You’re in the minority and supporting the mob.

            I also call them “Criminals On Patrol” to their faces.

            You can’t escalate to “I’d kick your ass IRL” AND call him a “keyboard warrior” in the same sentence. Well, unless you’re really, incredibly, and breathtakingly stupid - which, I think is a pretty good assumption at this point.

            If you’re a good cop, it’s hard to imagine given the way you’re here, online, apparently advocating for them. Instead, you should start to change the culture in your department from one of dominance and control to one of service.

            If you’re just someone who apologized for cops online, maybe you should spend less time online.

        Hating an entire profession

        Well, yes, and it’s great you said it. This profession is fucked by design, and singling out individual cops, even those, is rather useless if you look at big picture. This whole institute of high power and no consequencies is a cancer. It doesn’t solve much problems and causes a lot of them itself because of this imbalance. As a subgroup of our international society, cops invented killology, KGB-style torture of suspects, that iranian madness with faith-policing. Because everywhere they’ve got a blank check for violence they ended up abusing it. In states where they don’t carry guns everywhere and are frequently held accountable, they don’t have such a morbid reputation, right? This position they have enables them to be corrupts, irresponsible and trigger-happy bastards. Not even starting on laws they are said to enforce because arguably they don’t usually write them, you can see the police as an exploding matter that can blow up in your face at any moment, and yet we put it everywhere like sugar, pepper it with powder and go on with our day ignoring the risks we let grow without any oversight. I’m not in the mood to get wrapped in explosives, so I’d say ACAB, and wish this ‘police’ thing would get as minor as other paid public servants, like firefighters. I haven’t heard firefighters bitching about having no ‘thin red line’ stickers, yet they are usually more endangered than cops. Guess, a collapsing building is less scary than one black guy. Maybe, they aren’t that helpful after all?

        Oh, the constitutionally defined “protectors of property, not people”? Those fascists, right?

        Talk to us when you’ve been arrested multiple times and had family killed while swimming away unarmed by being shot in the back by an officer who wasn’t doing his job properly. Or when the cop who illegally entraps you, cuffs you into the car, then hits on your fiance at the scene right after. Tell me more about not generalizing a group of murderous, glorified property protectors.

        ACAB all day mfer.
