Officer Montrell Jackson Identified As One Of The Police Killed In Baton Rouge Shooting

Three officers were gunned down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana yesterday [Sunday, July 17], one of those officers being 32-year-old Montrell Jackson.

Jackson posted a message on Facebook that has now gone viral. In his post he talks about the constant battle of being a Black man and a police officer. His post came a day after the killing of Alton Sterling by two Baton Rouge police officers, one of the incidents that has sparked extreme violence against officers that has been going on across the nation (most recently in Dallas where five officers were killed during a protest).
