AKRON, Ohio — Outside Akron City Hall on Monday, dozens of people could hear loud chants calling for justice for Jazmir Tucker as well as accountability for the Akron Police Department.

“It’s not about getting justice. It’s not about that. It’s about killing people and making a statement,” one protester said.

Meanwhile, just upstairs on the third floor of City Hall, dozens of people stood in solidarity for the number of minutes they said Jazmir Tucker was on the ground.

“At this time when many parents are looking for what toy their child would like for Christmas, Jazmir’s mother is looking for which coffin will fit her 15-year-old son,” said another protester.

Some protesters even called on some city council members and leaders to remain silent, saying they should stand in solidarity with Jazmir Tucker.

“You all wonder why we young people don’t trust you in the police. Justice for Jazmir Tucker. My name is Jazmir Tucker,” one protester said.

But several council members, including Akron City Council President Margo Sommerville, weren’t shy about sharing their thoughts after the council’s work was completed.

“When officers do the right thing, we should commend them. They should be celebrated. But when they do the opposite, we must hold them accountable,” Sommerville said.

Councilwoman Linda FR Omobien asked for more support from the Akron Fraternal Order of Police.

“I want the FOP to join us in helping us train our officers and update their training,” Omobien said.

Meanwhile, Councilwoman Jan Davis and Councilman Eric Garrett have called on Akron Mayor Shammas Malik to fire Officer Devon Fields, who News 5 confirmed was the officer involved in the death of Jazmir Tucker.

“I will call on Mayor Malik to be radical. Officer Fields needs to be fired,” Davis said.

Although City Council Vice President Jeff Fusco acknowledges there are more questions than answers, he also said the officer has certain rights.

“Even if you wear a blue uniform, you get due process,” Fusco said.

Akron FOP President Brian Lucey also spoke at the board meeting, asking for the public’s patience while the investigation continues.

“However, I must also make it clear that any threats, intimidation or attacks against our officers will not be tolerated,” Lucey said.

Some council members said they planned to continue pressuring Malik’s administration.
