Show Notes
Akron introduces new protest policy: de-escalation, transparency, and First Amendment rights. Mayor Shammas Malik and Police Chief Brian Harding unveil guidelines, focusing on peaceful protests and smart enforcement. Officers must lead with communication, no bias, and strict force rules. Body cams, IDs, and post-event reviews ensure accountability. The policy comes after Jayland Walkers 2022 shooting, which sparked protests and lawsuits. Community input shaped clearer resistance rules and better speech protections. Akron aims to build trust and foster partnership, engaging with residents and preventing issues.
