More than a year has passed since Stephon Clark’s death. The Clark family honored his memory by visiting the nearly-complete mural of him at Sacramento’s Wide Open Walls Festival exhibit in Meadowview on Thursday.

Clark’s portrait now covers a wall three stories high and a block wide on Improv Alley, between Seventh and Eighth streets.

This festering pant load of feces is being honored on the day of Sacramento Police Officer Tara O’Sullivan funeral. The thug's family will receive a huge settlement from the taxpayers because of the death of their worthless son.

Because it's always someone else's fault.

Meanwhile, 90 miles southwest, George Washington High School in San Francisco, is considering COVERING UP a mural of George Washington “due to concerns that it’s offensive and demeaning to Native Americans and African-Americans.”

So the African American thugs in Sacramento aren’t offended by Stephon Clark but they are offended by a mural of the First President.

why do Freepers keep posting “African American” all the time? Do you have liberal white guilt or something? It’s Ok to call them obama kids, Amish or blacks you know...

“African-Americans.” Does that include Arabs, Berbers, Afrikaners, Nubians, Egyptians, Tunisians, and many others, many of which are white? Just a question.

Is there anything that screams inner-city ghetto trash than murals? How does an artistic drawing of someone on the side of a building or wall somehow enhances a community or make people want to move to that area?

[Celtic Conservative]

That’s a nice mural y’ got there. It’d be a shame if somebody, I dunno paintballed it into obscurity.

African Americans in Africa are called blacks.

“Ok to call them obama kids, Amish”

Okay where?

“Sacramento County court records show that Clark had a history of convictions for robbery, domestic abuse, and a prostitution-related offense. At the time of his death he was on probation for a 2014 robbery conviction.[10]

“A toxicology report also released by police found traces of cocaine, cannabis, and codeine in Clark’s system. Codeine and hydrocodone were found in Clark’s urine.”

Stephon Clark, a father of two, was killed by two Sacramento police officers who suspected he had been breaking car windows. His death sparked protests nationwide, both on city streets and on social media.

How do you stage a riot on social media?

1. Stephon Clark. A son, brother, father and a convicted criminal. Although Clark’s family has waxed eloquent about what a great guy Clark was, and that he was “turning his life around,” the facts about the African American unarmed man shot and killed by Sacramento Police on March 18, 2018 do not paint such a rosy picture. A criminal since his teen years, the 22 year old had a juvenile record of grand theft, robbery and receiving stolen property. As an adult, Clark pled guilty to felony armed robbery, assault, and child endangering in one case, and “pimping” a prostitute in another case for which he pled no contest. In a third adult case, Clark was arrested for domestic violence for punching a woman in the face, and in yet another case from this year, Clark was again arrested for domestic violence. Why do people make a hero out of someone who has assaulted women? Before being shot he was allegedly breaking car windows and when spotted by a police helicopter the cops witnessed him breaking the sliding glass doors to a house. Police on the ground were directed to Clark’s location, and chased him on foot to the back yard of his grandmother’s house where he failed to drop something in his hand (it turned out to be a cellphone) and was shot to death. While it is true that a person should not receive a death penalty for breaking car windows, breaking a glass door to a house, and running from police, the fact is that if Clark was not breaking the law in these ways and had stopped when the police first told him to, he would not have been shot. Being a career criminal and committing crimes other than murder or attempted murder is not a good reason to die, but Clark had a huge role in the outcome of this sad and undeniably tragic incident.

Bros before hos, yo.

What has become of Stephon’s crazy brother, Stevante?
Last I recall, he was hysterical at a memorial service and even yanked the microphone away from Rev. Sharpton to scream about the police. A few weeks later, Stevante was arrested for making several death threats to people he said were responsible for his brother’s death.

I quoted an article about the covering up of the mural in San Fran. It wasn’t me using the AA term.
