Crowds Protesting Stephon Clark Shooting Take Over Downtown Sacramento

SACRAMENTO -- Four days after 22-year-old Stephon Clark was shot and killed by police officers in his grandparents' backyard, protesters gathered inside and outside Sacramento City Hall.

Officers believed Clark had been breaking into cars in the neighborhood and shot him because they say they thought he had a gun. He was only holding a cellphone.

"The death of one more man of color is one too many," Mayor Darrell Steinberg said earlier Thursday before the protest began.

Protesters clogged major downtown Sacramento streets near City Hall as the Thursday commute was about to begin. Earlier in the day, the city urged drivers to find alternate routes.

A large crowd of demonstrators walked onto Interstate 5 at J Street and blocked both sides of the roadway, forcing traffic to stop. Drivers were seen getting out of their stopped cars along the interstate.

In one instance a CHP officer grabbed a lone man and dragged him from the southbound I-5 onto the shoulder of the roadway. Demonstrators told FOX40 the man was not associated with their protest and was later arrested.

"...shot and killed by police officers..."


The shooting seemed unreasonable from my interpretation of the full-length video. Later muting the audio seems odd.

We can just add all these cop shootings over the past several years to the list of known false flag events perpetrated by the deep state.

When, oh when are we going to weed out cops who have size 44 uniforms and size 4 hats. This is soooo unnecessary. Note to self, never “brandish” your cell phone when you are anywhere near a cop. Seemingly, they use any excuse to execute a citizen, and then say “oops, sorry missed that phone, thought it was a gun, my bad that I killed him!”

“The death of one more man of color is one too many,” Mayor Darrell Steinberg

How about just, “the death of one man” is too many?

They shot him because he was a black man.

Try watching the videos. This was not broad daylight. This was at night. And they had been chasing this guy for several minutes, as he tried to break into cars and homes. It wasn't like they just marched into a backyard BBQ and shot him.

Nah, let's see FReepers break into BLM mode. Pathetic.

Hence, either the story is wrong or the shooting was wrong.

What was a 22 year old man doing running through people’s yards? A 10 year old should know better than that.

And you can tell that in the dark just how? Cops saw a man advancing on them with a hand extended. If they wait to make sure it is actually a gun, well, guess what? They are shot if they are wrong. And they had been chasing that guy for some time.

Eh, didn’t the mayor initially come out backing the cops?

All widescreen TVs at local Wal-Marts have been loaded on semi-trailers and are on their way to Arkansas.
