1 Cop Fired, 3 Suspended In Fatal Shooting Of Unarmed Black Man That Led To Nearly A Year Of Protests, Tension: PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland police officer was fired and three others were suspended in connection with the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by a white police officer, officials said Tuesday.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson has called Campbell's death an 'execution.'
