The cops conveniently cut the audio on their body cams. What do you think they were doing, holding a memorial service for the guy they had just killed?
Don't be so quick to believe this man was the one they saw breaking car windows.
Oh please, he was caught red handed on video and would not obey the police, Sure way to get shot is don't obey and hold something in your hand that could resemble a gun. This guy was that stupid!
On Sunday night, a San Antonio, Texas resident called 911 to report a man vandalizing homes and smashing in windows. He went outside to find his truck window smashed in. Police responded with helicopter surveillance that spotted the man, Stephon Clark, in the act of breaking windows and fleeing to a backyard.
Ground patrol followed him into the backyard and found him holding an unknown object. One officer believed it to be a weapon yelling "GUN!" and 20 shots were fired, killing Stephon Clark who had recently been released from jail and had a criminal record.
Since the man was black, the Black Lives Matters collective went into action springing mass protests. The criminal did not have a gun, and the officers made an unfortunate mistake. However, completely absent from this outrage in San Antonio was the fact that this individual was out victimizing the neighborhood and running away from police.
Where is the personal responsibility?
What in the hell are you talking about?
You folks are in such a hurry to post anti-black threads, that you can’t even get your stories and links straight.
Moderator...get rid of this crap or get the OP to fix it please.
So you give your kid some fake hoodrat name, provide an insufficient environment of deprivation for him, and then are shocked when he becomes a thug, fathers a bunch of kids out of wedlock, and is involved in crime and is eventually killed by the police?
This is the basic problem with "the black community". How many chances do people expect to get to "turn their life around" before it doesn't work out well?
Clark was in his grandparents' backyard, and there is no proof or evidence whatsoever that he was the vandal. He was holding a telephone, not a gun.
Good grief, how desperate are you guys to post something like this?? Error-ridden, no checking for proof, just to make your quasi-political (actually racist) point.
