AKRON — Families in Akron are on edge because of a flyer that's shown up in the community. We have chosen not to show the flyer because it depicts racist caricatures and portrays African Americans as criminals.
Turner continued,"we are a biracial family. My husband and I have been together for 18 years. We are raising biracial grandchildren and it concerns me. I was at a rage when I saw it, and I could just imagine how my husband felt. The images on that poster, it was so degrading, it was just so degrading."
"I think the messaging is very disturbing it's obviously disturbing in that regard if you look at the literature. We'll do everything we can to bring about a sense of calm for this citizen or anyone else impacted by this," said Captain Michael Miller, Akron Police Department.
