Stephon Clark, the unarmed 22-year-old killed by Sacramento police officers earlier this month, was shot eight times, with most of the bullets hitting him in the back, according to an independent autopsy requested by his familys attorneys. These bullets some of which struck Clark in the back, neck and thigh caused extensive bleeding, said Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist. At least one pierced Clarks lung, he said.

Either way, it looks like the police weren't entirely...accurate in their statements.
Important word here is “mostly”. What does that mean?

It means they shot at him and he turned to run away.
According to the report, six rounds in the back, one round in the thigh, one in the neck. Other stories have seven shots in the back - one could have been back of the thigh or back of the neck and was lumped in with the other six.
Amazing the level of gullibility "Conservatives" still show for anything the habitually lying media publishes.
“It means they shot at him and he turned to run away.”
Exactly. I don’t ever want to draw. But if I do you are going down hard.
Kind of trashes the "we had to shoot out of fear for our safety" claims though, doesn't it?
So you're saying the coroner lied and there wasn't 8 rounds in him, six in the back? Then I'm sure the county autopsy will bear your version of the incident out.
The victim might get some sympathy... If he were a Twin Peaks biker.
I haven't seen anything about whether it was the front of the thigh or the back of the thigh, but it does look like he wasn't facing the officers.
The bullet in the side may have been shot by a policeman standing in a slightly different position from the others.
You do realize the “autopsy” was paid for by the families lawyers? That they are suing the city of Sacramento for “wrongful death”?
It is a tactic called “trying the case in the court of public opinion” to bring pressure on the opposition to settle without going to court.
Just look at Robert Muëller, or Andrew McCabe, or James Comey, or...
On a radio program I listened to this morning he was in the front yard and when police identified themselves he jumped a fence and ran into the backyard. Then he was jumping all around and had something black in his hand. This all occurred i the dark, so they didn’t know what he had in his hand.
Not really.
“it looks like the police weren’t entirely...accurate in their statements.”
Like when the Muslim Somali opened fire on the White Aussie in MN? Or when SWAT in po-dunk MS opened fire and raided the wrong house in MS?
Cops being that they are people too - will lie, dodge, deflect and blame to cover their tracks just like anybody else busted doing the wrong thing will do.
Should we trust them?
It’s a shame he was shot and killed, as is the case in any police shooting. But, had the perpetrator been at the library or playing basketball with friends at a local court, he’d still be alive. They put themselves in these situations by breaking the law. Good citizens don’t get shot. And police are ever fearful of their lives dealing with these people. They want to get home to their families each day.
I am gathering he was unarmed so really he shouldnt have been shot from the front either unless he was charging them and seeking to disarm an officer.
I remember him on “What’s Happening Now!”
(seriously that did remind me of that show)
