The
District Attorney has announced that her office will not prosecute the two
officers who killed Stephon Clark
Since
he was unarmed save a cell phone expect the decision to violent protests spark
One
officer black and one officer white
Pulled
their triggers 20 times that deadly night
Maybe
because it was after 9 and probably dark
Could
not tell the difference and nNot all 20 shots hit their mark
They
kept shooting as he fell and crawled slowly away
Does
not sound like a proper use of self defense on display
No
wonder there are many in the black communities that encounters with the police
fear
Even
though some progress has been made prosecute not the police is trait to which most
D.A.’s adhere
A
private autopsy revealed he had been shot in the back
Consistent
with after falling crawling away from this attack
Not
sure when and which of the shots were the mortal ones
But
empyting their guns on a man crawling away a practice police must shun
Sacramento
now faces a $20 million wrongful death suit
Sacramento
now on edge that riots and lootings will take root
Newsom on this one has called it right; use of deadly force rules may be out of whack
If he had started to put phone in his pocket
it may not saved him from this lethal attack
It
is a sad day when parents and schools may need to teach children how to with
police interact
To
avoid getting shot and to their homes because they are in the morgue not come
back
