Stephon Clark, the unarmed black man who was fatally shot by Sacramento police officers, was struck eight times, mostly in his back, according to an independent autopsy released Friday, raising significant questions about the police account that he was a threat to officers when he was hit.

This shooting was just crazy....makes no sense. When will justice prevail in the shootings of young black males in this country? the police thought he had a gun???? It was a cell phone.

At this point I don't think anything will be done to these dirty cops, they can get away with killing anyone they want to.  If these same incidences were being played out with white, unarmed men being shot by black cops, there would be an uproar in this country.

There's definitely implicit bias at play here by some law enforcement officials as it pertains to black people. Black people are not given the benefit of the doubt but are automatically treated like criminals. We need federal laws that address these police shootings and that hold irresponsible police officers accountable for insane decisions.
