BERKELEY, Calif. -- Berkeley's NAACP president has reiterated his claim that the city's police are deliberately shooting and killing African Americans.

Allen Jackson made the controversial remarks earlier this month after Anita Gay, 51, was shot and killed by a Berkeley police officer who was responding to a domestic disturbance call.

Other NAACP members are distancing themselves from Jackson's remarks but he told NBC11 that he is standing by his words.

"One is too many, two is well too many," Jackson said. "I am saying we (are) not going; that the police can not continue to do this as business as usual."

NBC11 has learned that Gay was the fourth person to be shot and killed by Berkeley police in 18 years.

Two of the people shot were African Americans.
