Below is the content of a letter from Rev.
Shelton Charles Dixon to NAN President and Founder Rev. Al Sharpton,
regarding the police shooting of Alton Sterling:
Rev. Sharpton-
We are outraged by the video tape showing Alton
Sterling being shot by Baton Rouge police officers while he was
restrained and are calling for an immediate, fair and impartial
investigation and justice for his family. In order to achieve
justice we are seeking the presence of Rev. Sharpton and National
Action Network (NAN) in Baton Rouge to meet with the family of Mr.
Sterling because of NAN’s long track record of assisting families who
are victims of police misconduct.
There will always be emotion evoked in the
immediate aftermath of a tragedy like this and when there is a life
lost. We are seeking the involvement of an organization like National
Action Network because we want to ensure that the fight
for justice will continue even when the cameras go away.
Sincerely,
Rev. Shelton Charles Dixon
Senior Pastor, Greater Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church
