On Thursday, for the second time in a week, protesters blocked the entrances to Golden 1 Center and prevented thousands of fans from entering a Sacramento Kings game in an effort to continue calling for action by local officials following the police killing of Stephon Clark.
Sacramento police responding to a call about someone breaking car windows shot and killed Clark, a 22-year-old black man, on Sunday, March 18, in his grandmother’s backyard. Video of the shooting released last Thursday showed that officers, reportedly believing Clark had a gun, fired 20 shots at him. An after-the-fact search revealed that they’d mistaken Clark’s iPhone for a firearm.

Is this what a lynch mob looks like?
Was thr guy breaking car windows or not?
Bring out the riot control.
If someone came into my neighborhood and broke car windows including mine, I wouldn’t be upset if the cops shot him. If the shots hit the right spots, he would never break another car window and the taxpayers would not have to foot the bills for the public defenders and room and board costs.
Was he unarmed or not?
But you will foot the bill for the wrongful death lawsuit payout.
Videos can be more dangerous to thr police than guns...
Not established, but if you look at the helicopter video, he is jumping over back fences to evade police.
Was he unarmed or not?
He was unarmed but he was holding his girlfriend's pink cellphone which he allegedly pointed at the cops rather than throwing his hands up in the air as he was instructed to do.
I don't think this the police handled this well but Mr. Clark bears some responsibility for the way it ended. That's something the BLM media will not tell you.
Note to self: if cop with gun says “drop it.”, drop it. It doesn’t matter how many payments are left on the iPhone.
I’m not gonna miss the NBA
So who bears more responsibility?

I am GLAD ‘we’ got that settled and in the 2nd sentence.
How many of the responding Officers were Black? Did a Black Officers bullet put the dude in room temperature status?
Was the 22 yo Black man committing a Black on Black(owned vehicle) crime?
Did Grandma say she didn’t care he was breaking her windows OR did Grandma CALL THE POLICE to stop the person from breaking her windows?
Would Grandma have shown such ‘rage’ had the breaker not been her Grandson?
‘They’ should give us ALL the facts.....not just agenda driven ones.
He does.
If you’re out breaking into cars in the middle of the night, and you get the cops called on you, and you start running through yards, and the cops think you’re phone is a gun, and you got shot... oh well.
So I recommend that you don’t do that.
So if you call the police on a prowler in the middle of the night then you approach them from behind and either make a loud noise or a loud noise is created causing the police to shoot and kill you was that your fault too?
Why would I approach a prowler from behind?
Do I look stupid to you?
Theme for the dense: Stupid gets you killed sometimes.

Not talking about that case, don’t change the subject.
I'm sure the family of Justine Diamond up in Minneapolis will be sorry to hear that.
