Rev. Jackson: Culture Within Chicago Police Department Must Change

(CBS) -- The death of Laquan McDonald and other police-involved shootings took center stage Saturday at Rainbow/PUSH.

"Stop shooting people in the back," he said. "Those police officers who falsify information (on such incidents) in their reports must be punished."

Jackson said merely hiring a new police superintendent won't be enough. He said the culture within the Chicago Police Department must change, and he is promising a massive voter registration drive in advance of the March primary election.
