Unarmed man killed by Sacramento Police. They claimed he had a weapon on him. Turns out it was a cellphone. There were twenty shots fired from the police. |
BE WARNED THE VIDEOS SHOWN ARE DISTURBING.
Don't forget that Black Lives Matter still exist. They are still active and they are calling for justice. Just like the #MeToo and #NeverAgain movements, Black Lives Matter continues to push for Washington to do something other than offer "thoughts and prayers."
The city of Sacremento has a population of 512,000 residents. The police force has 73,000 active members.
And in the city of Sacremento, there is a racial divide between the police and its residents of color.
The name of Stephon Clark is trending. The young man was nicknamed Zoe and he was loved by his family and friends. He was a victim of a police shooting.
The Sacremento Police shot him 20 times in his own backyard. He was unarmed. The 22 year old man was unarmed and he was holding his cell phone.
This happened a week ago and it's finally getting national coverage.
The cops were responding to a call of a person breaking into vehicles. I don't know how they assumed a man in his own yard was the guy but rest assured, the right will say he was a criminal regardless.
The spotted Clark in the area. The cops ordered him to drop the object.
They thought it was a gun and then they later changed it to a crowbar.
Regardless, the cops feared for their lives. They shot Stephon 20 times without flinching.
Now the family wants answers.
Before we go into the video, I want to stress to you that the video is disturbing.
I want to also leave a clear message to those reading.
With political tensions at its worst, police officers are being stretched to a breaking point. Police officers are now trying to be cautious about using deadly force.
Oftentimes, Black people are told to obey an officer's order. Still gets us killed.
We are told to be fathers of children, members of society and mentors to Black America. Often, the police kill those fathers. They destroy that member of society who had a job, a career, and a future. When conservative complain about the lack of Black fathers, I shake my head in disgust.
The lack of Black fathers isn't any of a white conservative's business. They have no idea what being a Black father is. They are condescending. They are racists. What more can I say?
Two babies with a father. |
How can you mentor Black America, when our fathers tell us to be wary of the police.
Always trust your gut instinct and never allow yourself to be a victim.
We legally obtain firearms. But according to Donald J. Trump, Republicans, conservatives, and the NRA, we're a threat. They want to take away the 2nd Amendment from Blacks, Brown and Mulims. They want to ban foreigners because they fear a Browner nation. They want to keep us on watch but refuse to watch their own.
20 shots to stop a man fleeing. This was excessive force. |
I highly doubt the Congress will get the ball rolling on police brutality.
And I assure that cops will get good attorneys, the police union and the backing of sympathetic junk food media agitators willing to see the cop's side. After all, the person they shot and killed has no value in the courtroom. He's dead.
