Thoughts on Akron Police using chemical spray to disperse protesters?
But, a family member of Jayland Walker tells Just One Station that they were marching, with several kids in the protest group when Akron Police released the chemicals into the crowd.
Lieutenant Michael Miller with the Akron Police Department says they can’t just disperse chemicals because someone is marching because they have a first amendment right to march. On a video posted on social media, you can hear officers telling protesters to get out of the street and stop blocking traffic, and get on the sidewalk, it’s unclear if that’s partly why police and protesters were at odds.For the 3rd straight day about 100 protesters took to the streets, this time on South Hawkins in the city to march for blocks.
At one point the protesters did block Copley and South Hawkins Road for at least 15 minutes, but no police showed up at that time.
