California AG: No charges against officers who shot unarmed black man in Sacramento last year StephonClark
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Tuesday that there would not be any criminal charges against the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Stephon Clark last year.
“Our criminal investigation may be over, but our commitment to this community … goes on,” he added. “Accountability must be a cornerstone of all the work we do.” Protests broke out after the district attorney’s announcement and have not let up since. At a demonstration Monday night, police arrested dozens of people, including several clergy members and local journalists. Black Lives Matter’s Sacramento chapter planned more protests for Tuesday afternoon.
“For a homicide to be justified, the person who has committed the homicide must have reasonably believed he or someone else was in imminent danger, according to the law ― the law we must apply in this case,” Becerra said.
