杰兰·沃克的根据家庭律师的说法,在新发布的沃克死亡的人体摄像机镜头显示了警察致命枪击后的瞬间后,家庭被激怒了。
“在他们开枪杀死帕姆·沃克的儿子后,他们关掉了麦克风。他们关掉摄像机。他们说了什么?他们做了什么?”沃克的家庭律师鲍比·迪切洛在周二的新闻发布会上说。“他们会想出关闭摄像头的理由。但是探查,问那些问题。面对这种侮辱,我们还在这里。”
根据拍摄的人体镜头由《阿克伦灯塔报》报道,美国广播公司新闻评论,可以听到一名警官大喊,“有人看到枪了吗?”当警察继续把他们的灯指向地上沃克的尸体时。其他警察也附和说,他们“看不见”,或者“不知道”枪在哪里。
根据录像,当沃克倒在地上时,警察走近他,检查他的身体,并呼叫医护人员。
一名警官命令所有向沃克开枪的警官离开现场。镜头显示,几名警察然后告诉彼此“去蓝色”,促使警察关闭从警察身上的摄像机记录的音频。
根据录像,可以看到警察站成一圈,但他们的讨论无法听到,因为音频被关闭了。
阿克伦警察局没有回应ABC新闻的置评请求。
俄亥俄州刑事调查局对此事件的调查仍在进行中。
“为什么我们没有听说麦克风被关掉了?...这是众所周知的。沃克一家的家庭律师肯·阿巴尔诺在新闻发布会上说:“出席新闻发布会的人都知道这一点。“这有多不公平?这对你有多不公平?这对沃克一家有多不公平?”
律师们还要求该部门向死者家属公开道歉。
“你们知道吗,每次我上来,我们的团队聚集在一起,[沃克的母亲]帕姆经历了一场活生生的噩梦?”迪切洛说。
在致命的警察事件发生后,活动人士呼吁公民抗命,要求阿克伦警察局结束对抗议者的暴力,并为警方设立独立的公民监督委员会。

New police body camera footage following Jayland Walker's death sparks outrage from family
Jayland Walker'sfamily is outraged, according to the family's attorneys, after newly released body camera footage of Walker's death shows the moments following the fatal police shooting.
"After they shoot and end the life of Pam Walker's son, they turn off their mics. They turn off their cameras. What did they say? What did they do?" Walker family attorney Bobby DiCello said at a press conference on Tuesday. "They'll come up with a reason why they could turn off the cameras. But probe, ask those questions. In the face of this insult, we're still here."
According to the body camera footage acquiredby the Akron Beacon Journal and reviewed by ABC News, an officer can be heard yelling, "Did anyone see the gun?" as officers continued to point their lights on Walker's body on the ground. Other officers chime in, saying they "can't see it," or "don't know" where the gun is.
Police approach Walker as he's on the ground, examining the body and calling for medical attention, according to the footage.
One officer orders all the officers who shot at Walker to separate themselves from the scene. Several officers then tell each other to "go blue," prompting officers to shut off the audio being recorded from the officers' body cameras, the footage showed.
The officers can be seen standing in a circle, but their discussion cannot be heard because the audio was shut off, according to the footage.
The Akron Police Department did not respond to ABC News' request for comment.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation's probe into the incident is ongoing.
"Why didn't we hear that microphones were turned off? ... This was all known. This was all known to the people who put on that press conference," Ken Abbarno, a family attorney for the Walkers, said at the press conference. "How unfair is that? How unfair is that to you? How unfair is that to the Walker family?"
The attorneys also called for a public apology to the family from the department.
"Do you guys understand that every time I come up, and our team gathers, [Walker's mother] Pam goes through a living nightmare?" DiCello said.
Activists called for civil disobedience in the wake of the fatal police incident, asking for the Akron Police Department to end violence against protestors, as well as implement an independent citizen oversight board for the police.
Walker was unarmed whenpolice fatally shot himon June 27 after a traffic stop turned into a pursuit. He was running away when eight officers opened fire on him, body camera footage released by the city showed.
Officials said they attempted to pull Walker over for a traffic and equipment violations with his car. He allegedly refused to stop, which set off a chase that ended in his death.
Officials said a flash of light seen in body camera footage appeared to be the muzzle flash of a gun coming from the driver's side of Walker's car.
In a second body camera video, officers are heard radioing that a shot was being fired from Walker's car. The footage shows an officer following Walker's Buick off Route 8 and continuing the pursuit on side streets.
At one point, Walker slowed down and jumped out of the passenger side door before it came to a complete stop, according to the footage. As Walker ran away from police, several officers simultaneously fired at him, fatally shooting him.
Walker had 46 gunshot wounds to his body, a July autopsy report revealed.
A gun was later recovered inside the car, but Walker was unarmed when he was shot.
Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett has said he is reserving further comment and judgment on the incident until the Ohio Bureau of Investigation completes its probe.
In an earlier statement, Akron police officials said, the "actions by the suspect caused the officers to perceive he posed a deadly threat to them. In response to this threat, officers discharged their firearms, striking the suspect."
