Police in Akron, Ohio, unleashed a wave of tear gas on protesters who gathered outside of the city's main courthouse on Sunday night.
Several hundred protesters marched in the city in the hours after the Akron Police Department released the bodycam footage showing the shooting death of 25-year-old Jayland Walker.
Walker was killed after being shot at least 60 times by Akron cops following a traffic stop on June 27.
Riot police used tear gas in response to a protester who was taking down barriers that were set up outside of the police headquarters. Authorities responded by coming out in 'full riot gear,' reports WKYC.
While fleeing the tear gas, protesters began driving their cars on the sidewalk to get around snowplows parked in the road to block off the high street - and some protesters launched smoke bombs in the streets, reports the Akron Beacon Journal.
One protester began breaking the windows of several snowplows whilst a row of dumpsters was also pictured on fire, although there does not appear to be any major damage to property in the city.
WKYC's Neil Fischer said that police used 'at least a dozen' tear gas cans on protesters which resulted in many of the gathered crowd leaving the area. Fisher said that you could smell the tear gas in the air more than 15 minutes after it was used.
Fellow WKYC reporter Emma Henderson tweeted: 'Tear gas is flowing. We were well over a block away from where it was fired and it's in our noses, eyes and throats. Protesters are finding each other water and moving away.'
One protester, who goes by the moniker Comrade Ohio on Twitter, tweeted a video showing a dumpster on fire in the city.

don’t care WTH the guy did.
/\
Those are YOUR words .
You don’t care he put lives at risk
,, with a car
,,,with a gun.
Sure looks like defending him to me.
Puke.
No, commie puke.
Opus?
Yeah. I’m against summary execution, regardless of what the guy never faced trial for. That’s not defending him, that’s defending YOU. And ME. And everybody else.
Funny how you’re the one pushing for absolute police power and you keep calling me a commie. I want LESS police power. You know. FREEDOM.
Nope. Just pointing out the obvious. Police kill a lot of people in this country, and I prefer to not be on the list. And that guy had an unhealthy obsession, kinda creepy.
Apparently, not.
Well, given that you’ve managed like 5 words and couldn’t manage 1 single fact, it’s actually quite obvious I’ve got many more clues.
Probably more accurate to say he was killed while being shot 60 times. I’d say there was a lot of adrenaline coursing though those cops veins.
That’s not defending him, that’s defending YOU. And ME. And everybody else
/\
Everybody else includes “ him” .
Do you ever listen to youreself ?
Independence day must be the day you get most agitated .
Don’t you have a George Washington doll you can go stick pins in ?
Or a weatherman underground doll you can copulate ?
Does the discostu d.j.
in the u.k. ( Wikipedia)
know your beclowning his namesake ?
IOW yes.
Yes EVERYBODY.
Summary execution bad.
Sorry you can’t understand that.
George Washington wasn’t into it either.
Really dude, get your head out.
How many reloads does sixty shots require? And how many shots can be fired before the gun gets too hot?
No. Not at all. Been here for 20 years. Stated “scarier” things than “summary execution is bad” without getting hit. Really if FR decides being against summary execution is ban worthy, well I’m ok with being out. But haven’t been yet.
Cause summary execution is bad. Really. This shouldn’t be controversial.
Yes EVERYBODY
/\
Thought you said you didnt defend him \-)
Liar.
Anarchist piece of crap.
BWAHAHAHQAHAHAHAH
Dude, you’re hilarious.
Dumb as a rock.
But hilarious.
Don’t light your own fireworks, you’ll do the wrong end.
Anyway, we’re done. Bye now
No, but fabrication is.
Haven’t fabricated anything.
Anyway, we’re done. Bye now

Go kick a dog, and see if it summarily bites you in the arse.
So,,,,
Don’t go away mad,,,
,,, just go away /-)
“I’m pointing out that 60 shots is overkill and murder.”
I would try to explain to you that you are not more dead when shot 60 times than when killed with one shot, but it would try to explain a card trick to a dog. It would be a waste of time.
