Jesse Jackson Sr. was in Kenosha, Wis., on Thursday, where he condemned “a system of racism in law enforcement” following last Sunday’s police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake and a gunman’s slaying of two men during a subsequent protest this week. “There is a system of racism in law enforcement and now is the time to address it,” Jackson told reporters at a news conference, according to the Kenosha News. That unrest came in reaction to the shooting of Blake, who remained hospitalized after being shot multiple times by a police officer on Sunday. Jackson called for a transparent and complete investigation into the Blake shooting – and for all officers at the scene Sunday to face charges. “We demand justice in this country,” Jackson said, according to the Kenosha News.
