Rev. Jesse Jackson was joined by local activists to demand justice and accountability following the deadly beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police.

"Enough is enough. Enough is enough," said activist Afrika Porter.

They are calling for the U.S. Justice Department to launch a parallel investigation into the deadly traffic stop.Bishop Tavis Grant, the national executive director for Rainbow Push Coalition, is from Memphis. He wants everyone on the scene or anyone involved that night to be held accountable, just like the five now fired Black officers who are criminally charged.

"They will have a voice a voice to say who polices our communities and how our communities are policed," said Frank Chapman, with Chicago Alliance Against Racism and Political Oppression.

I have a great idea. Lets have the cops not arrest ANYONE for 1 week and see how we feel after. Lol

Please concentrate on Chicago n let them people handle their own shit

How about not fleeing front the police. Stop the car. And do what they say.

Only time to see Jesse or Sharpton is when there's a camera. What they do in their life is sit in big houses and spend our money. It's disgusting to watch these race Traders use this poor man's death for sound bite

The OG grifter

Will someone let Mr.Jackson know that these officers grits are done. Pretty sure justice will be served. An attorney right out of law school can win this.

Lol..but the don’t give a crap about children dying in the streets of Chicago every night. The Jackson family means nothing anymore…

Go Jackson! Support you!

Jesse “race grifter” Jackson

The officers were charged. What other justice do they want?

Yeah,need some justice in a city with black mayor,black police chief,all officers involved are black...

There is Justice in motion already. You can be thankful it happened in a state/county where Justice actually happens and not cook county 🤡

Fuck this justice bullshit. If everyone works and contributes to society there won’t be any problems.

the race baiters are here!! Can always count on these guys and ABC7. 'There was, in fact, on video a white officer who some believe was in a supervisory position who tased Nichols and has yet to be charged, yet to be terminated and has yet to be identified,' Bishop Grant said.

Did that accomplish anything?

Why doesn't Shuckster Jackson go to Memphis to complain? Too dangerous there?

Really🤦🏾‍♂️ Does he even know what’s going on?

Shakedown , it’s a shakedown

Oh good, now I can rest since Jesse and local activists are on top of this.

Are you serious right now There isn’t enough violence in Chicago to keep you busy

Why aren't you telling the real story, that there was no violence last night because the cops were black? The media and the government wanted violence so badly to prove that black people aren't racist. I think we see which black lives matter; only those killed by white people.

Jessie Jackson should mind his own business...
