Jackson Among 226 Arrested at Protest

Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson joined hundreds of chanting protesters at a rally against police brutality in New York City. Police said 226 demonstrators, including Jackson, were arrested for disorderly conduct after they sat down in front of police headquarters. Hundreds of others cheered and waved signs. The raucous demonstrations have become a daily event in the wake of the fatal shooting on Feb. 4 of Amadou Diallo, an unarmed West African immigrant, by four white police officers. A grand jury was believed to have handed up an indictment charging the officers with second-degree murder, but details of the panel’s findings have not been released.
