Well according to a 30 second Google search Jackson held a new conference last Saturday to ask for peace over the holiday weekend but I'm more interested in what you expect him to say about this. You don't even know who did it yet. 

Its extremely safe to assume it was done by African Americans. And I was being sarcastic, those two ass clowns aren't going to say anything worthwhile because there is no way for them to make money off of this.

from the UK Daily Mail:

Human rights activist Jessie Jackson has pointed the finger at Donald Trump and his followers for helping to create a rising climate of fear in America which has contributed to the shocking deaths of five police officers in downtown Dallas.

Rev Jackson said there was an 'anti-black mood' in America which also saw discrimination against immigrants, Muslims and women. Speaking in the aftermath of the coordinated attack on 11 police officers in Dallas, Rev Jackson called on President Barack Obama to hold a conference on violence and racial disparities.

What a POS

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

If that is legit, there you go! Another opportunity to blame the white man!

hey you fucking idiot, what about that POS in office for the last 7.5 years!? What about his contributions to the racial climate? "If I had a son, he would be Trayvon" ... Trump is going to gain even more momentum after this event. Fuck Jesse Jackson.

Turns out the cop that shot the guy in Minnesota was Mexican.

If Trump had utilized seasoned political speech writers and PR specialists since the beginning he would probably lead Hillary by double digits.  Then again he probably wouldn't have gotten the nomination though.

LOL.  You go from bitching about black people blaming the white man to blaming Obama for this.  Another irony meter shattered.

Dallas police put a bomb on the end of a robot, drove it up to the suspect in the standoff and blew him up. 

Thats gnarly. 

And Texas gets a bad rap? That's badass!!

Listened to a guy this morning breaking down the video showing the tactical training that they had.

I think I was listening to the same thing and I saw the video. He totally deeked the cop to one side of the pillar and came around the other side shooting him in the back. Looked like someone who was trained.

Not really, I just wish they would call him out on this too. He has not contributed to healthy racial tensions. 

Me personally, it's a mix of everything. There are plenty of LEO officers and leaders that need to be held accountable. There are plenty of black leaders who also need to step up and take accountability for what is going on.

Police officers need to stop getting away with murder.  I think we have a problem with police killing innocent people, but the biggest problem is that they keep getting away with it.

I get that police need some benefit of a doubt when it comes to this stuff or they will never use their weapons but not the shit that has happened recently.  Especially when people are unarmed.

Interesting the difference between someone of a different race with a real hand on a real gun

Yes that one image is representative of all situations.

MT, he had a knife in each hand and wouldn't drop them, so "unarmed" isn't quite accurate.

We also need to get suspects to stop fighting against police when being detained. They need to comply and cooperate instead of fighting back. We absolutely have a problem with some police officers going way too far, but we also have a problem with many suspects not complying with law enforcement. This is not 100% on the police.

I don't think resisting arrest will ever stop but it shouldn't be a license for police to shoot someone.

The cops aren't supposed to be judge, jury, and executioner.

Tank has a point though, if cops keep shooting motherfuckers maybe they will stop resisting.
