Acknowledging that there are people who feel the announcement by the Kentucky attorney general’s office fell 'short of achieving justice,' Mayor Greg Fischer outlined other ongoing investigations into Breonna Taylor's death
Jesse Jackson encourages people not to respond to lack of criminal charges in Taylor case with violenceCivil rights activist Jesse Jackson encouraged people upset by the lack of criminal charges in the death of Breonna Taylor not to respond with violence, noting the coming presidential election.
“We must be smart enough not to turn our anguish and anger into self-destruction, and give Trump a commercial,” Jackson said during a Wednesday news conference with local leaders in Chicago. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said they are not implementing preemptive measures against possible unrest that they have used in the past, such as closing bridges to the city.Jackson also called for protesters to respond to the decision of the grand jury by boycotting “every non-essential service in Kentucky,” adding that he believes athletes recruited to the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky should not go to those schools.
“We should put Kentucky on the South African list,” Jackson said, referring to international boycotts of that country during its policy of apartheid.
