Another dangerous black man and the cops knew this.
The man was in his grandparents back yard talking on his cell phone when the police shot him in the back. His past record is immaterial to his death.
Stephon Clark was shot 8 times - 7 times in the back. And here you are attempting to claim the police did nothing wrong.
The man was breaking into his neighbor's cars...was followed on infrared camera jumping fences in the neighborhood to get away from Police responding to the 911 call. He was tracked down by Police on foot who confronted him in the dark. The Police officers thought he had a gun in his hand and opened fire. He was shot in the back because of how he fell.
Bottom line is this, kiddies...if you're out breaking into your neighbors cars (if you're THAT kind of a lowlife!) then if the Police show up and corner you in the dark...GET YOUR ASS DOWN ON THE GROUND WITH YOUR EMPTY HANDS OUTSTRETCHED AND LET THEM KNOW YOU'RE SURRENDERING! This isn't advice for any particular race...it's common sense advice for everyone! If you don't then chances are really good that you may be shot and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself!
You think he fell before he was shot? Quit trying to make dumb excuses. You're glad the cops shot another black guy. Your pathetic attempt to justify the murder is appalling.
Some of the bullets entered his front...some his back. From the video that I've seen he appears to twist as he falls to the ground ending up with his back to the officers. Police are trained to fire a number of shots to ensure that any potential threat is neutralized. They shot for a total of about three seconds and you can tell from their recorded video on their body cams that they both believed that Clark had fired at them. They are reluctant to approach him laying on the ground because they are STILL worried that he might be armed.
Bullshit. He was shot once from the front, and 7 times from the back. He didn't have a gun, so how could they think he shot at them?
Ever shot a gun? Ever stood next to someone who was? It's incredibly loud. I mean it's so loud your ears ring for minutes. You're going to have ZERO chance of telling who's shooting and where shots are coming from. As for WHERE he was shot? Watch the video...he turns towards the officers...one of them yells "Gun! Gun!" and both open fire. The first shot to him appears to have hit him in the neck and as he falls to the ground basically on his side with his back to the officers...the next seven hit him in towards the side of his back. It's over in a matter of seconds. That's two officers both firing automatics at what they perceived to be a man with something in his hands that one of them thought was a gun. They STILL think he's armed because he doesn't respond to their commands to show them his hands and they don't approach his body until backup gets on scene.
