PUBLIC SPEAKS
PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Public Speaks and we have ten speakers for tonight. Out of respect
for all the speakers that signed up tonight, I’d… I’d like to remind everybody that you do have three minutes to
speak. Out of respect for all the other speakers and I do would like to remind everybody to please silence your
cell phones out of respect to the speakers. So, our first speaker will be Ms. Kimberly Bell. Ms. Bell, would you
please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please.
KIMBERLY BELL: Yes. My name is Kimberly Bell, 1733 Morris Avenue, Canton… Kimberly Bell, okay
1733 Morris Avenue. Um… oh… last week I… I well the week before when I spoke uh… I guess I spoke out
of turn a few times but um… you’ve been nothing but been a gentleman to me President and ever since I’ve
been coming here for the past three or four years. So, the folder you have in front of you, that letter is for you.
That’s… that’s… that’s a… that’s a response to the letter I received from you. When I spoke about how the…
the Mayor… I hate it I… I didn’t say I hate white people. So, the audience heard me I said I hate you. Mayor
for what you’ve done. You…you… you… you… the… the… the deceit and the lie that was told to the… to the
community, to the Williams family about the officer on leave… on paid leave but he was actually working. In
the department 16 days later after he murdered James Williams and at this point it’s been over a hundred days
and we’ve come to the conclusion that you trying to ratify the shooting instead of... I mean you sit there and
you… Mayor you sit there and… and… and… and I’m just shaming you because you got on the mic…
PRESIDENT SHERER: Ms. Bell… Ms. Bell when your… your addressing all of us not just not…
KIMBERLY BELL: Okay. When he got on the mic and… and… and he set there on the blow horn talking
about as long as he was in office this will not… he wouldn’t stand for this. But God has a… the good lord has a
way of sham…of…of…of bring things to if… to bring things to the forefront to make us realize you was lying
all along. So that right there... So, when you speak a fact, it hurts sometimes. The truth hurts and I… I… I don’t
think I… I… I was racist about anything I said. I spoke about facts that’s been going on since this shooting and
when I… when I get up here and speak. I don’t just talk about James Williams family, that’s anybody who the
police has killed, one of you. You can be out of state and one of your family members can be killed by a police
officer. It’s no different. I’ll get up here and say the same thing but you know and as… as a black when you
read that you’ll see black people… my age we were not raised… uh raised as racist. It… It wasn’t talked about
in our family because if it was, the… it… our parents and our grandparents had con… had repercussion if they
took it to the job or if they bought a new car. If they or… or if they you know anything cause they knew white
man, they work for the white man. They work for Johnny Law and another thing I’m running for office…

PRESIDENT SHERER: Ms. Bell
KIMBERLY BELL: And I know you are going to try to run but you won’t win Mr. Sherer. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Bell. And Ms. Bell I just want to clarify the reason that I sent you the
letter wasn’t Public Speaks and this is not a debate forum. Was your outburst during Council as the meeting was
going on, out of respect for everybody who comes down here. So I just want to clarify that with you.
KIMBERLY BELL: Okay, well like I said the back of the letter is for you and out of respect because you’ve
been nothing but gentlemen.
PRESIDENT SHERER: And I would be more than happy to talk to you after the meeting Ms. Bell.
KIMBERLY BELL: Okay, Thank you.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you. Our next speaker is Mr. Jerome Davis. Mr. Davis could you please step
forward and give us your name and residential address, please.
JEROME DAVIS: 2419 Coventry Blvd NE. I am James Williams and it’s bigger than me. I can’t breathe. Only
moments into this year I was gunned down. Taken from my loving wife and kids in the safety of my own
backyard. Hands up, don’t shoot. Cut down by Officer Robert Huber of the Canton Police Department. The
same Police Department that are sworn to keep me safe. Do you protect and serve? Did I deserve to be taken
from my family? My privacy fence was to keep me and my family safe. Shot through that same fence without
warning and without pause. Hunted like an animal. I never saw it coming. Eight Can’t Wait. It was all
documented by Officer Huber’s body camera, so the evidence is there. Yet no transparency, only silence. Why I
ask? I deserve peace, my family deserves closure. I am the motor for change in this city. Canton, now is the
time and this is your chance. Your chance to send a message, set the precedent, make my death count. Canton is
a city that celebrates excellence. Let’s create a safe environment for every citizen regardless of the color of their
skin. This is our backyard and I will be remembered for social change. No more senseless deaths in our
backyard. Do not give Police Officers a license to kill without pause. Accountability now, transparency now.
Can you hear me? Do you hear the voice of a man that cannot speak for himself? Investigate, indict, and bring
the truth to light. Robert Huber. Remember his name. Say my name, James Williams, beacon for change. I am
James and he is me. Community United. No justice no peace.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Mr. Davis. Our next speaker is Jamarice Riley. Uh… sorry about. Mr.
Riley could you please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please.
JAMARICE RILEY: My name is Jamarice Demetri Riley Jr. I live at 3312 Windsor Place Apartment B SW
Canton, Ohio known as Linwood.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you.
JAMARICE RILEY: Um… what I will say for years I’ve been here. Some familiar faces, probably don’t
remember me, some do. I’ve had uh… a lot of things to the streets.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Mr. Riley you can… if you could speak up just a little.
JAMARICE RILEY: I’m sorry my voice naturally mellow, so I apologize.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 194
MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 11, 2022
PRESIDENT SHERER: You’re fine. Thank you.
JAMARICE RILEY: Um… when I came here I was running from a purpose. My family always said I’d be the
Joseph and I ran from it, even from music. Jolanda and all them got on my tail and would run and everytime I
would end up in jail. I’ve been too much in the slums all the way up to Federal and I served in 2010. What I will
say, when I saw my homie, Jeremiah Burton, and he stood for me when all those officers and the rookie clacked
that gun. They didn’t know on 19th street when I was there, Storm stood for me. Many people, many families
uh… I know too many people as the Waikems and Calhouns that’s helped us since the dawn of time, I’mma say
like that. (Inaudible). What I can say as a prior armed forces, streets, all the way to the miss of a (Inaudible) that
we need to make a change. We need to start at least… least helping enough people where they can be safe. I’m
willing to be a bridge. If I have to wear a (Inaudible) to even be around y’all. Even like I do… Rome’s Boom
Boom Room, R Bar, Hall of Fame all of that, I will be. What I do feel… there’s a lot hurting. There’s too many
children killing themselves and becoming victims and we keep letting… and Mayor I understand. I led over 200
plus people in many ages of warfare. I had to psychological learn them. Had to wipe tears and keep them strong
and it’s a hard responsibility and it’s hard to step your foot down with people, familiar, you’ve known for years
and you don’t want to detach them. But with the death of my kids and baby mom when I was coming home on
leave, I had to learn it’s not about letting it go. It’s embracing it and becoming better. So y’all, I do understand
on both sides and I’m willing to be an advocate to help. But we do need… you’re… you guys confidence and
where you’re at, at your position, cause we can only do us so much. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Mr. Riley. Our next speaker is Vicki…and I don’t want to mis…
VICKI PRUNTY: It’s okay I got it. I’m Vicki Prunty, I live at 130 Pearl Street. I live in Orrville, Ohio. I’ve
been up here for two years, back and forth in protest. Um… I’m a Reverend, I’m a white woman in America
and I want to educate you a little bit. I have a Master’s Degree in Public Administration. I have a Bachelor’s
Degree in Social and Political Philosophy and I just want to give a bit of information because I read your letter
and I’m offended and I’m embarrassed. Because it is white people who created race. You can’t be racist against
a system or people who created the system. She may be prejudice against you but she has every right to feel that
way. Look at what the history of this country is and if we can’t take responsibility for that, take accountability
for it and do something better. We’re no different than those people that came before us. So when are you going
to stand up and take accountability for this. There are six children without a father right now. There is a wife
and ex-wife without support from that same person. There’s a community that depended on James. He was like
the father of the neighborhood. Which one of you are going to step into that role and fulfill that because we
know. I just read articles today that the trajectory of that gun up in the air, would have only harmed him. Would
only harm him and it’s a misdemeanor, it’s not… it’s not a capital crime. It’s not something you get the death
penalty for. That cop watched him… watched him. He watched him, he didn’t call out, he didn’t announce
himself, he didn’t try to deescalate. He just walked up there and shot into that fence. We all saw it. Are we
going to sit here and act like it didn’t happen? I’m not… I’m not going anywhere. Justice for James. (From
Audience Justice For James)
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you Ms. Prunty. Our next speaker is Ms. Skylark Bruce. Ms. Bruce if you
could you please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please.
SKYLARK BRUCE: My name is Skylark Bruce and I live at 2216 Bollinger Ave NE. The police department
recently signed up with Spider Tech. Hailed in news stories because it can text updates to victims of crimes
after they report them. I’m struggling to understand why and how the Canton Police Department lacked the
ability to send a text message. But after $40,000.00 per year, now they can and it sends out surveys. You’re
going to get feedback and that’s a good thing. Now you want feedback, now you want citizen’s comments and
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 195
MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 11, 2022
review after cit… incidents happen. You didn’t have to spend forty grand to know that CPD messed up big time
in January with the murder of James Williams and that the City government has been covering it up ever since.
Save tax payers money and listen to the tax payers who have been putting ourselves under your noses for four
months. Mayor Tom Bernabei claimed two years ago that Canton is in compliance with seven out the eight,
Eight Can’t Wait policies for Police Departments. Officer Robert Huber did not act in compliance with four of
them and if you never wrote a report of incidents that would make five. He did not attempt to deescalate the
situation. James Williams did not even know a cop was present as Huber did not announce himself. Two, Huber
did not give any kind of warning before shooting. Three, Huber did not exhaust all alternatives before shooting.
He could’ve retreated to his car, called for backup, but no. Number four, the use of force continuum is also
relevant because while Mr. Williams was firing a gun he wasn’t aiming it at anyone. Alternative all purp… I’m
sorry excuse me… appropriate use of force would dictate treating this like any other misdemeanor and seeking
to make an arrest. Another of the Eight Can’t Wait policies is duty to intervene; which means an officer
shouldn’t stand by while another officer breaks these straight forward policies. But the way, the Police
Department has treated the Williams family and supporters, since January, makes it look like none of them
would have done a thing to stop Huber. Instead they openly mock the pain of grieving children as they express
themselves with sidewalk chalk. Laughing and jeering is common place. Some have thrown buckets of water
while the children are still drawing. This is the actual legacy of Captain Jack Angelo. He has led with a callus
and indifferent heart. Previous to James Williams, CPD is responsible for the… for the deaths of Jaron Nero and
Darryl Ross. You want feedback, go read the writing on the floor.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you Ms. Bruce. Our next speaker is going to be Joe… is it Schmucker?
JOE SCHMUCKER: Schmucker.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Schmucker, I apologize. Mr. Schmucker could you please state your name and
residential address, please.
JOE SCHMUCKER: Yes uh… my name is Joe Schmucker. My address is 8146 Center St Garretsville, Ohio.
Um… I just wanted to start off by saying that I am here in support of the James Williams family and the uh…
community that he lived in and all the residents of Canton. I had no intention in… to coming back here for the
last few months that I’ve been coming here and I’m just… I’m at a loss for words how the City Council has
turned its back on the community members here and how I have watched a community that is thoughtful,
caring… um… cares about Canton and Canton doesn’t care about them. That’s what I’ve seen and um… it… I
don’t know it just hurt my soul and I just… I just want justice for this family and I think everybody uh… in the
city, uh… once they know about what’s going and we’re not going to stop. Because we want everybody to
know what happened. Uh… while all of you were celebrating on New Year’s Eve, Canton Police and uh…
Robert Huber uh… were murdering James Williams. Justice for James. (From Audience Justice For James)
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Mr. Schmucker. Our next Speaker is… and I can’t read the last name but
the first name is Anwar and I apologize for… could you please state your name and residential address, please.
ANWAR ALAYAMINI: Sure, my name is Anwar Alayamini… uh my… it’s kind of complicated where my
residence is but I’ll use 2417 4th St North Avenue, Canton, Ohio 44708.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you.
ANWAR ALAYAMINI: So I…moved away to Los Angeles about 12 years ago to pursue my dreams. Um…
when I lived in the city of Canton or when I lived in Stark County I was an active member uh… in the
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 196
MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 11, 2022
community. I served on teen court and… for the Stark County um… court system. Um… I stood up for uh… I
stood for many organizations uh… about just bringing positivity and upliftment and enrichment to the
community. Uh… about four years ago my father had passed away and he was a successful business owner here
in… in Canton and Massillon and I was left with a mess to clean up. And part of that mess was a building on 4th
street the address that I just stated. Uh…about four years ago I (Inaudible) to… I’m running out of time. Uh…
basically there was a business partner where I could get them to sign over their share to me or sell me their
share and my father and I had a vision for that building. While he was alive, to turn it in to something for the
community. Unfortunately, he had passed and I didn’t get to outlive that vision for him. Um… the city of
Canton has a demolition order for that building and I’ve been trying to… I’m out of time. Basically I’d like to
stop the demolition of the building. I have the grant deed that finally got into my name after four years of trying
to get it to happen and I want to work with the city to do something for the community for enrichment and the
betterment of everybody. So, that’s what I’m here to talk about. Sorry for the time.
PRESIDENT SHERER: No, it’s alright, and I would encourage you to stay till after the meeting and we can…
be more than happy to have that conversation.
ANWAR ALAYAMINI: Thank you, very much I appreciate it.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Our next speaker is Jolanda Jackson. Ms. Jackson could you please step forward and
give us your name and residential address, please.
JOLANDA JACKSON: Hi, my name is Jolanda Jackson, I stay at 326 Mohawk Ave NW Canton, Ohio. You
ready?
PRESIDENT SHERER: Yep.
JOLANDA JACKSON: Um… tonight we here cause the community came together for all of the injustices in
our community. Sixty-percent of our children are growing up in poverty in Stark County and that speaks
volumes. Poverty equals crime, crime equals policing. Right now we are getting over policed. With the spy
shooter, again you trying to build transparency and trust in the community and you haven’t even built stability.
We have Officer Lamar Sharpe in our community and y’all cut his funding and he is in our community, trying
to help. That doesn’t bring transparency. It hasn’t brung transparency in this case and we asking for that and
that’s free. When y’all not saying anything, that speaks volumes… volumes. We do have a racist issue here.
When you guys brought Donald Trump and his… his people here three times, that speaks volumes to us. Then
you brought him in to church. That’s not my God. That’s not the God I serve. He wouldn’t have none of this.
What we doing ain’t right. Y’all have y’all foot on a lot of people’s necks for some broken promises. Just like
the grocery store that was supposed to be on the southeast side, that didn’t come across the southeast side. The
people on the southeast side barely even know about that grocery store and that grocery store also offers half off
with a EBT card. If you don’t know what a EBT card, that’s a government assistance card, that’s a food stamp
card. So if I was able to go in that grocery store and use my… get grocery’s and get half off cause I have this
card, don’t you think people should know. That’s what I’m saying. It’s a lot of good programing here that goes
on in this city and we don’t know. If y’all want to help us, help us cause a lot of us… is not nothing bad like I
said I’m cool with Officer Sharpe and Imma drop a dime on y’all too. I’m cool with Officer Robert Huber too. I
knew who he was when I seen the video. I dropped to the ground just like uh… James Williams. I know Huber,
that was my dog. He was a community policeman too and that hurt to see that, but I know what’s behind this.
All we asking for is some transparency cause I don’t want to be here. I got a little… two black boys that live in
this community and I don’t want nothing to happen to them cause if I don’t get it I’mma shut it down. I’mma
shut it down but this ain’t my kids I don’t want to worry about that. It’s just little things y’all could do to hel…
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 197
MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 11, 2022
help us. Changes if we… we below income have Sarta run on Sunday’s. It cost thirty-dollars to catch a
uh…Uber in Belden Village. Thirty-dollars and I got four kids. That’s a pack of diapers sir. That’s a lot and I
don’t mean to tell you my business for y’all to belittle me or something like that but that’s the way it is. That’s
what’s going on right now and we just trying to make it better cause if guys can get excited when the Hall of
Fame get here. When them people come here what they tell y’all they like here? The people, the people make
Hall of Fame. So y’all got to help us so we can make this all year round, man. Come to the grassroots we don’t
belong in organizations. Come meet us in the streets. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you Ms. Jackson. Our next speaker is Marquetta Williams, hopefully I got that
right (Conversation in the Audience). Out of respect for our speaker Ms. Williams you have the floor.
MARQUETTE WILLIAMS: My name is Marquette Williams, 2307 10th St SW. I’m the late wife… the late wife
of James Williams and we demand justice. We demand accountability. We demand transparency. We have a ten-
point action plan that only one thing has been done. Which was releasing the name of Robert Huber. Two, we
want the name immediately released call to 911 regarding to gunfire in the area that night. Three, we want
immediate release of all the CPD dispatch regarding… the records regarding the James Williams incident. Four,
we want immediately release of all the dash camera videos from CPD officers on the scene, unedited. Five, we
want immediately release of all body camera videos from CPD officers on the scene, unedited. Six, we want
immediately returning of the security camera recordings that was taken from my home. I have no security. I have
six kids in my home, six girls. All I had was my husband and my recording of my cameras is what safe watched
my house. I have neither. Seven, immediately release any written or oral instructions from the CPD Chief of
Police, Chief Angelo, given to his officers instructing them on how to respond to celebratory gunfire that night.
Eight immediately release of public condemnation of the reckless and deadly conduct of the CPD officer, who
killed my husband, James Williams, by blindly firing through a wooden fence. Nine I want immediately terminate
employment of the CPD officer Robert Huber. Who blindly, recklessly, and fatally shot James Williams through
a fence. And last but not least, I want ten, immediately bring appropriate criminal charges against Officer Robert
Huber, who shot and killed my husband in front of me and his children, his nephew, and his cousin. Justice for
James. (From Audience Justice For James)
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Williams and our last speaker for this evening is Ms. Ida Ross Freeman.
Ms. Freeman could you please state your name and residential address, please.
IDA ROSS FREEMAN: It’s Ross Freeman. It is not Ms Freeman, its Ross Freeman. Okay?
PRESIDENT SHERER: I apologize.
IDA ROSS FREEMAN: Okay. Um… good evening everybody, Ida Ross Freeman 1129 7th St NW Canton, Ohio.
I want to talk about the Police Department. I know last year we had a brief encounter about defunding the police.
We’re not talking about defunding the police. We weren’t giving the opportunity to explain what we were really
talking about because all we heard was from some of you all, was, “We’re not going to defund the police”. We
weren’t talking about that. Hold on… What we were talking about is uh… well I never wanted us to defund the
police but to reallocate funds to accommodate our social ills in our community. To include emotional wellness
therapist and possibly a psy… a paralegal to help the police do their job better. We just want better policing and
better training and the… and the… the money that they get, divide it, separate it, reallocate. Now I embrace the
Police Department. I know if we didn’t have police, we would have complete chaos. I don’t want to live in a
community where there’s no police, okay. Our police can be better with better training and understanding that not
everyone that they encounter in their duty are not… are bad people, but are people who make bad choices. Not
defund the police, reallocate the funds of the police. So we can be better at policing our community. Thank you.

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS: Member Smith invited everyone to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Southeast Community Center
on Saturday, April 16th, from 12:00 to 2:00 PM. She thanked the Council Members who have already donated and advised
anyone wishing to donate candy or Easter baskets to see her. President Sherer thanked Commissioner Bill Smith for attending
the meeting. Member Smuckler stated that they passed summer jobs, helped make the Sanitation Department more pleasant
and did more cost effective things. He thanked the Council Members for passing the bond ordinances so the bonds may be
sold before there is another rate increase. President Sherer announced that the Aultman Cancer Center tour has been
postponed until June 20th at 5:30 PM. He asked those Members who plan to attend to notify Clerk Wood. Member Ferguson
said that the reason it was postponed was because the construction has not yet been completed.
ADJOURNMENT: 8:50 PM
