More than 60 of the bullets hit Mr Walker. Attorney Bobby DiCello, who is representing Mr Walker&#8217;s family, viewed the footage ahead of its expected released Sunday afternoon by Akron authorities at a planned news conference. &#8220;In my 22 years of doing trial work, both as a former prosecutor for Cuyahoga County and as a civil rights attorney on many serious cases of lethal use of force, I have never in my life seen anything like this, ever. It is very, very disturbing,&#8221; Mr DiCello told the Akron Beacon Journal . He added that Mr Walker appeared to suffer between 60 and 80 wounds. The lawyer said the video was &#8220;unbelievable&#8221; and &#8220;brutal&#8221;, but called on community members to honour requests from Mr Walker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Disturbing&#8221; police body camera video shows officers in Akron, Ohio, fire more than 90 shots towards the back of Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black motorist who fled a minor traffic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[89,341,8],"class_list":["post-57607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-investigation","tag-law-enforcement","tag-public-safety"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57607\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
