The Spin

Left narrative

Video footage has made it clear that the Akron Police Department's version of Jayland Walker's killing is inconsistent. While they're trying to present Walker as a dangerous individual, it's hard to believe that an unarmed man should've been shot a shocking 60 times.

Right narrative

While tragic, the investigation will prove that the police's actions were justified. Walker challenged lawful orders to stop and presented a danger by firing a weapon. The truth is that many officers go through their entire careers without once firing their weapons.
