Jesse Jackson called it an execution but the tragic Aaron Campbell situation sure looks like suicide by cop. The Zero tries to make the case of lack of communication between officers. OK. Fair enough. But listen to the 911 phone calls also.
Any cop would have taken that shot when Campbell reached for his waistband.
Jackson wants to frame this as racist but the only thing being framed here is the cop.
More rant after the jump:
The Jesse Jackson show was a disgrace and race baiting at its worst. That the city “leadership” went along with shows the vacuum of leadership and selling out of values. They should have stood up for the cops! If they didn’t like the rules of engagement they need to change them. But don’t hang the cop out to dry.
This Jackson trip was all about stirring racial unrest. But the reporting parties were black, the subject was black and the cops came to respond to the threat perceived by—black people. What racism are we talking about here?
