SACRAMENTO, Calif. (WFLA/KCRA) – Protesters gathered in California Saturday after learning two police officers who shot and killed an unarmed black man would not be criminally charged.
Some demonstrators gathered outside police headquarters in Sacramento.
They burned Blue Lives Matter flags and shared stories and poems.
Stephon Clark, 22, was gunned down in his grandmother’s backyard in March of last year.
Sacramento police were responding to a 911 call about a man breaking car windows.
Two officers said they thought Clark had a gun and pursued him, firing multiple times.
Clark was carrying only a cellphone.
