This is Stephon Clark with his family. His children have been asking about him. Police and prosecutors often like to tear victims of police violence apart, so we must define the narrative for ourselves. He was unarmed & non violent in his own backyard when he was killed. Period.pic.twitter.com/cKSRkmLtBy
Stephon Clark loved his kids. I don’t care even a little bit if police claim he vandalized a car. What I know is that white men who vandalized cars GET A TICKET. They damn sure don’t get shot 20 times in their own backyard.pic.twitter.com/YAex7VpCgW
Why is the narrative always that the "POC" is a criminal to justify the shooting no matter how minuscule the offence? I am getting sick & tired of this narrative, I hope that come the 2018 mid-terms we see a change in the criminal system starting with the DA's
There aren’t many places in the world where vandalism rates an instant death sentence.
I'm not sure how anyone can see this shooting as being anything other than two cops opening fire before even assessing the situation. In other words it's murder. It's bullshit that cops can shoot with impunity as long as they say the magic words "i was in fear for my live"
Sorry if I missed this but do you know if there's a verified GoFundMe for his family?
There is zero excuse for what they did to Stephon. Zero.
Agree 
percent.very sad it is in a so called civilized nation.

Drunk man steals beef jerky from 7-Eleven, breaks into New York home and urinates on porch, cops sayhttps://fxn.ws/2GnEsug
Also let’s not FORGET Michael Peter Fay who VANDALIZED CARS in Singapore. Because of REQUESTED leniency from President Clinton AND U.S. Officials, instead of receiving 6 caning strokes Michael Fay received 4. Michael Fay wasn't SHOT or MURDERED.
He was asked to stop, put his hands up..several times! Running from the cops, seems to be the first mistake this young man made! Not complying put his life in jepordey! If these young men keep running, they will keep getting shot! Stop Running! We have to understand, history!
My son always complies when he's been arrested and he's always been treated fairly. And in Texas too!
Me as well! In North Carolina I was given a speeding ticket, complied and was treated with respect! We need to teach our kids to respect, comply and then fight if treated unfairly! We can't, our families can't, protect our children when they are dead! Stop Running, please!
With my son, US Marshals surrounded where he worked. He was cooperative, and the marshals were friendly even. (Btw, he's not white.)
History has shown this to be the truth! American Leaders need to hammer this into every community! I know some American communities are worst off than others, face different challenges! But the leaders in those communities must deliver one life saving message! Comply!
