sacramento: justice for #stephonclark

“The Sacra­men­to Po­lice De­part­ment keeps chang­ing its sto­ry about an un­armed black man two of its of­fi­cers shot and killed in his own back­yard on Sun­day night.”
—Vice News

“About six min­utes af­ter the shoot­ing, af­ter back­up ar­rives, an of­fi­cer can be heard telling an­oth­er of­fi­cer, ‘hey mute.’
Sound then cuts out as of­fi­cers ap­par­ent­ly turn off their mi­cro­phones. But video con­tin­ues and the of­fi­cers can be seen speak­ing to each oth­er and to at least one civil­ian on scene for about two more min­utes be­fore the video ends.
‘We asked, ‘Can they do that,’’ said Les Sim­mons, a pas­tor and so­cial ac­tivist in Sacra­men­to who viewed the footage with two of Clark’s fam­i­ly mem­bers Wednes­day af­ter­noon pri­or to its pub­lic re­lease. ‘They all just mut­ed their mics. … It was a mo­ment of, what are they do­ing? What are they saying?’”

“It re­al­ly hurts that we are so hurt, yet so numb to what hap­pens to us everyday.
I don’t wish you an easy rest just yet Zo. To think you’d be asleep at a time like this would be unimag­in­able. Al­most as unimag­in­able it is to be­lieve any of this was your fault. You’re alive and in the spir­its of the peo­ple who are fight­ing for you. Please, do not sleep, rest or chill just yet. We need you awake and alive in our hearts to fuel the fire we are go­ing to use to burn down the sys­tem with.
You wouldn’t sleep un­til we did.
… We just wish it wasn’t such a reg­u­lar incident.
‑ya boy, al­ways rap­pin’ ass Ronnee..

Twen­ty. Fuck­ing. Shots.

This one hits es­pe­cial­ly close to home.

This is the homie’s lit­tle broth­er. Please do­nate as you can and send love to the fam­i­ly. Rest in pow­er. Love and light on your jour­ney young king.

Jus­tice for Stephon Clark.
Rest In Peace Zo.

My heart is broken.
Fuck Sac PD.
Stop shoot­ing our kids down.

This is po­lice murder.
In Sacramento.

No jus­tice. No peace.
