On this explosive edition of Light ‘Em Up, ripped straight from the headlines — like a laser, we re-focus our attention on the breaking news in the killing of Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old, unarmed black man, in Akron, Ohio, our hometown. None of this story is foreign to us, we live here, we work here, we’ve raised our families here, we broadcast from here.
After what seemed like an eternity — the 10-month investigation by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Office within the office of the Attorney General for the State of Ohio — the investigators concluded their report of all actions taken in this use-of-force investigation.
On Monday, April 17th a Special Summit County Grand Jury that was empaneled to hear the case of the 8 Akron Police Officers who shot 94 rounds, hitting Jayland Walker 46 times, returned a “no bill” verdict and none of the officers will be indicted on any charges stemming from their actions in gunning down Walker in a hail of bullets in an empty parking lot of the Bridgestone Center for Research & Technology at approximately 12:40 am on June 27th, 2022.
Rhetorically we ask, “who gets shot 46 times and lives”? These 8 officers of the Akron Police Department, once they decided to fire upon Jayland Walker, they were determined to shoot until he was dead. Sadly, it has become more and more apparent that “contempt of cop” can easily get you killed in 2023.
The police have very little tolerance for those who don’t immediately “comply”. “Comply or die” sadly, has become more of a standard versus an anomaly or aberration.
While there is no way that we can adequately cover the entire story in 1 episode, in this episode, our learning objectives are itemized below, as we endeavor to educate and empower you with facts that explain:
♦ What is a Grand Jury?
♦ What does a Grand Jury consist of?
♦ What is the Grand Jury’s role in the judicial process?
♦ The State of Ohio’s BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s) Official Report.

♦Separating the facts from fiction and the truth from innuendo.
The truth is difficult to hear for those who would wish to cover it up!
The truth has no agenda and is very much worth fighting for!
