Discussion: Rally Seeks Justice For Black Man Shot By Police In Backyard

Has anyone figured out and reported if Clark was the suspect they were looking for? I’ve read a couple of reports with some suggesting that Clark was just standing in his grandparent’s backyard, and others that he was the one they were looking for. I think part of my confusion is the information that the helicopter didn’t have him continuously in sight.

Breaking car windows with a cell phone?

The redemption action appropriate for today: “Activists and faith leaders called for justice not just for Clark, but for all black men killed by police.”

The story I read suggested that he was breaking car windows, but still nothing conclusive.

But not to worry, the GOP is way on top of this whole diversity issue…

You just shouldn’t put 8 bullets into the back and neck of a person SUSPECTED of breaking car windows. You shouldn’t put 8 bullets into the back and neck of a person even if you knew for a fact that he broke car windows.

Stephon Clark’s biggest problem was that he was suspected of being a black person, whose killing would likely go unpunished. So much our country has to answer for in its treatment of black people.
