Akron Prepares for Protests: Impact on Local Businesses and Community
The tragic death of Jayland Walker in Akron, Ohio, has sparked concerns about the potential for violent protests and the impact on local businesses. Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot over 40 times by police after refusing to stop for them, initiating a dangerous car chase, and allegedly firing at officers. His death has led to protests throughout the city, with local businesses boarding up their windows in anticipation of destructive rioting. Law enforcement has established a "demonstration zone" outside the courthouse to allow for safe exercising of first amendment rights.
Previous violent protests in Akron, including those following George Floyd's death, resulted in significant property damage and vandalism. The city has been preparing for the grand jury results, focusing on building relationships with the community and establishing better communication lines. However, local businesses have been heavily impacted by the riots, with many suffering property damage and fearing further harm to their livelihoods. This situation highlights the importance of advocating for law and order and addressing the destructive consequences of violent protests.
