After just one night in the clear, Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan has once again ordered a curfew for all of downtown after continuing demonstrations against the shooting death of Jayland Walker by police led to several arrests overnight.
Unlike the previous curfew in effect this past Monday and Tuesday, this one will not begin until 10 p.m., although it will still remain in effect until 6 a.m. The order will remain in place nightly until the mayor's office lifts it.
Seven people were taken into custody Wednesday evening into Thursday morning as protests caused Akron police to use "force" and tear gas on some members of the crowd. A portion of the group even made its way outside Cleveland Clinic Akron General and blocked the entrance to the emergency room, causing the hospital to go on lockdown.
