Rev. Jackson Calls Police Shooting 'An Execution' - PoliceLink: "PORTLAND, Ore. — The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Tuesday called the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black man an execution and criticized plans to allow the officer to return to regular duty this week.
The civil rights leader appeared Tuesday night at a rally that drew a standing room only crowd of more than 1,200 people to a Portland church.
He also met with the family of Aaron Campbell, who was killed Jan. 29, and called for a special prosecutor and investigation. Family lawyers have contacted the U.S. Justice Department, he said.
“What happened to Aaron is not a matter of black and white, it’s a matter of wrong and right,” Jackson said at a news conference."
