Stephon Clark's Grandmother Emotionally Describes Police Killing
Crump discussed the parallels among the deaths of Clark, Martin, Michael Brown, Terrance Crutcher and Eric Garner, as well as the recent events in Texas and in Florida.
Thompson recounted in a barely audible voice how she was watching a video of a granddaughter dancing when, "all I heard is boom, boom, boom". "That could have been my brother'".
The videos were released by Sacramento police, the department responsible for Clark's death, three days after officers killed him while pursuing him as a suspect in at least three auto break-ins.
The city enacted a regulation which has been in place since 2014 that required police to release footage no later than 30 days after an officer kills a citizen. Since, Clark's death has drawn national attention - and outrage. It wasn't until she looked out of a window that she saw him on the ground, dead.
In 2016, James, Wade and two other players decried police shootings of people of color and spoke out about racial tensions in the USA while onstage at the ESPYs, CNN Money reports.
I can't teach that to my sons. According to a statement released by the SPD, the officers say Clark turned and advanced towards them while "holding an object which was extended in front of him".
The crowd spoke of wanting to shut down the freeway again. Protesters lined the streets near I-5 in Sacramento and eventually spilled onto the highway, blocking drivers passing by.

When asked to clarify if that meant Trump didn't believe the claim that Daniels was threatened, Shah replied, "No, he doesn't". Trump said she is "focused on being a mom and is quite enjoying spring break at Mar-a-Lago while working on future projects".
The demonstrators returned to the Tower Bridge, the Capitol and continued to protest into the evening.
The protesters eventually dispersed and no arrests were made.
The Sacramento Police Department said officers were responding to reports of a man seen breaking into at least three vehicles and later into a neighbor's home.
Stephan Alonzo Clark was killed as Police wrongly believed was he was armed.
In the immediate aftermath of shootings, officers often share what they experienced with their colleagues, said Jim Bueermann, president of the Police Foundation, which helps departments improve and reform. It says that officers should record "any enforcement or investigative activity" until that operation has "reasonably concluded". "This is America, and this is what happens in America". "Justice means a lot of different things to many people. It's been happening everywhere and, unfortunately, as one of the most diverse cities in this nation, we still have tons and tons of racism to deal with". "I want justice for my baby Stephon Clark", said Clark's grandmother Sequita Thompson. A local attorney is weighing in, highlighting some stand-out seconds in police footage of the fatal killing, that he says could shape this case in court. People emerged from their homes wrapped in blankets and wearing pajamas. "All he had was a cell phone". Onlookers followed the march in cars, blasting music and honking.
Less than an hour before the protest, Mayor Darrell Steinberg said Clark's death warrants a thorough review of the shooting, and of police policies and procedures.
When asked whether releasing the videos increased trust with the police department, he said: "I have seen some of the conversations change since we've had that video released to the facts of the case, as opposed to filling in the facts because there is a void of facts".
