Jacob Blake's dad, Breonna Taylor's aunt arrested at Jayland Walker protest in Akron

Two high-profile national critics of police violence were arrested in Akron Wednesday night as protests over the death of Jayland Walker continued.

Police made numerous others arrests, according to court records, and social media posts showing people being detained downtown outside the Stubbs Justice Center. Hours earlier Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan lifted a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for the downtown, saying he hoped people would remain peaceful.

Walker, 25, died after being shot 60 times June 27 by Akron police officers following a brief chase.

One video shows an Akron officer punching a man who was resisting arrest downtown, with people claiming the man was Jacob Blake, 55, of Winston Salem, NC.

We are targets.

Meanwhile the Enforcers protect the white supremacists.
