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.”

Just a friendly reminder that it's inappropriate to compare cops to pigs.

Pigs are intelligent, and very emotionally aware.

Pigs also taste good! Cops dont have enough money to be worth eating.

can we just agree that people need to be held accountable for their actions? tired, tired, tired of people doing stupid shit and getting away with it.

[–] be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can we agree that this should be true for cops, too?

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 8 months ago

I think that's exactly who they're talking about.

[–] nonailsleft@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I get the sentiment but most people agree that there is some space between 'getting away with it' and getting gunned down on the street
