'Problematic and dangerous': City advises against bringing kids to protests in open roads
Stephanie Warsmith and Emily MillsAkron Beacon Journal
Just over 20 people have been arrested in Akron protests since a grand jury decided last week not to indict the officers who fatally shot Jayland Walker.
That's far less than the arrests after Walker's shooting last summer.
City officials are advising people against bringing children to protests in streets that are open to traffic.
If you’re going to protest in Akron, the city's top prosecutor says you may want to consider not bringing your kids.
A small group of protesters marched in the street in the area of Goodyear Heights and the Six Points intersection Thursday night with several children among them.
