[quote:Anonymous Coward 61680400:MV8zOTkxNDQ1XzcyMjI3ODU3XzE5NTFEOEMx] Right, corporate policy enforcers have the right to kill anyone for any reason. You morons should just hope that they don't ever get you in their sights. They will kill you and then make up a reason that they feared for their lives and then put every bad thing you ever did on the internet in order justify it. When the police can't tell a cell phone from a gun and you don't see anything wrong with that, I see something wrong with you. The guy has a wikipedia entry? Really? And you don't find that to be suspicious? I don't have a wikipedia entry do you? Who do you think created that entry and for what purpose? They have you idiots cheering the murder of an unarmed petty criminal. What if it were a white guy? White guys commit petty crimes too. In fact most police shootings are them shooting at white people. But the police are our friends right? So, just to be clear, in the U.S. petty crime is punishable by murder and murdering a petty criminal is not punishable at all and this is the kind of country that you want to live in. I think at least half of the posters on this board are just pro government damage control shills. [/quote]
Original Message
A small group of protesters staged a sit-in that led to the closure of Sacramento’s largest mall Sunday, marking the second day of demonstrations in California’s capital after prosecutors said no charges would be filed in the Stephon Clark killing.
District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert announced the decision Saturday, saying an investigation revealed the two police officers who gunned down Clark, 22, in his grandparents’ backyard last March had reason to believe their lives were at risk.
Clark did not have a weapon, but the officers -- Terrence Mercadal and Jared Robinet -- said he was advancing toward them and they mistook the cellphone in his hand for a gun.
