Carson to Jackson on Brown Shooting: ‘Not Sure This Is a Police vs. Black Community Issue’

Today on “Fox News Sunday,” Rev. Jesse Jackson and Dr. Ben Carson discussed race and the death of Michael Brown.

Chris Wallace pressed Jackson on his remarks that the shooting death was a “state execution.” Jackson said that the 18-year-old was shot six times and was unarmed.

But Wallace noted that reports say Brown was charging at the officer and may have hit him in the face.

“If we don’t know,” he asked, “why are we declaring a verdict?”

“It seems to me the police act as judge, jury and executioner,” Jackson said.

Carson stressed that the issues are much bigger and cannot be resolved in a short segment. Still, he said, “I’m not sure this is a police versus black community issue.”
