BGSU criminologist by number of officers involved with Jayland Walker case
AKRON, Ohio — A Bowling Green State University criminologist shared his thoughts on the police shooting of Jayland Walker.
“In terms of whether it’s excessive, it certainly appears to me that it was excessive,” said Stinson.“Here we have a situation where you just have too many people there in a very hectic situation. There's no way that a supervisor had control of the situation in those few seconds that unfolded after the chase ended,” said Stinson.
DiCello says the presentation the chief gave to them Thursday night was different from what the media just saw. Attorney Ken Abbarno, who also represents Walker’s family, said it’s troubling the eight officers involved in the shooting have not made formal statements. “It’s not unusual police officers don't shed their constitutional rights; they have a 5th amendment privilege against self-incrimination there’s also something called the Garrity rule," he said.
