Canton City Council welcomed Stark County Prosecuting Attorney Frank Stone to Monday's meeting to discuss the ongoing investigations into two other controversial police use-of-force cases: the fatal police shooting of Zachary Fornash and the in-custody death of Frank Tyson that has since been ruled a homicide. The discussion had been scheduled before news of Momirov's firing became public.

However, the meeting adjourned after just 20 minutes following several tense moments, including a verbal confrontation between a resident and Council President Kristen Bates Aylward.

During his public comments before legislators, the resident accused Aylward of cutting off his remarks, yelling to her, "Shut your mouth, you're interrupting me." Following more back-and-forth, Aylward declared that the speaker was "done" and ordered him to stop talking, prompting anger from others inside Council chambers.

The meeting was briefly stopped for a recess, but frustrations grew after the resident in question was confronted by a police officer. Another man in attendance then began to yell at the officer as others put their hands up yelling "Don't shoot!" before chanting "No justice, no peace!" Aylward eventually ended the meeting altogether.

These spats followed more stress while Stone spoke, with some accusing him of mishandling the Fornash and Tyson cases. Stone pledged to bring both matters before a grand jury "soon," but did not provide a definitive timeline.

As some in the gallery expressed displeasure with Stone before he began to speak, Aylward admonished them.

"That's it, now I've had it," she declared. "Act like adults.

The water is about to boil. The harder they clamp down the more the people will rise up.

I am as afraid of today's sadistic police, as much as I am afraid of today's criminals.

Why hasn’t the officer been charged with the crimes he committed? Anybody else would have been charged criminally. Two sets of laws in this country.

People acting legally, to protect citizens from police, within the law, should be respected.

It might be wise for the Council to let the people speak. Maybe like host open mike night, longer time limits and everything recorded into the record. Letting people have their say will relieve a lot of tension.

Very sad that Canton police are lowering themselves to this. I lived in Canton back in the late 60s early 70s. I'm further south now, would NEVER go back. I'm sure the crime is 10 fold what it was back then as well.
