Reverend Jesse Jackson calls Flint, Michigan a “crime scene.” Speaking Sunday at a Baptist church in the city, he said people of Flint suffering through a lead-contaminated water crisis have been betrayed. Jackson added that declaring emergencies as Governor Rick Snyder and President Obama have done does not bring enough money. State Representative Woodrow Stanley of Flint said “somebody needs to go to jail,” at the same event. Activist and filmmaker Michael Moore has called for the governor’s arrest, and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says Governor Snyder should resign.
