The Reverend Al Sharpton is not impressed with the White House’s response to the police overkill of an unarmed black man in Sacramento, California. 22-year-old Stephon Clark was shot 20 times after he was spotted hopping a fence into his grandmother’s backyard during a police foot chase.
Clark is suspected of attempting to break into a car and a home on 29th Street on March 18. Police say he fit the description of the suspect who wore a black hoodie. Two pursuing officers claim they mistook his cell phone for a gun.
Sharpton supported Clark’s family, including his brother Ste’vante Clark, at Clark’s funeral on Thursday.
The reverend condemned the White House for calling the police shooting a “local matter” rather than a federal rights violation.
“They have been killing black men all across the country,” said Sharpton. “We are going to start standing up. It’s time to stop this madness. We will make Donald Trump and the whole world deal with police misconduct. Stephon Clark has woke up the nation.” If the killing of Amadou Diallo didn’t wake this country up 19 years ago, it never will.

People grieve differently and the pain he will be going through right now will be immeasurable so him and his whole family have my sympathy and empathy, but where did he get the bell from? Who comes prepared to a TV interview with a bell? His parents or an elder need to take the helm he is turning it into a circus, the way he’s drapped onto Rev Sharpton I can’t make head nor tail of it.

I think his brother has been a little extra but we all handle the death of a loved one differently. And how many of us had to do that with the media following us around and some people telling him that his brother deserved what he got and if your brother wasn’t doing x,y,z, he still would be alive.

They reported he was a social deviant with a long criminal record, but that shouldn’t give grounds for summary execution by the police.
Until the police force is held accountable, deaths like this are going to continue. It’s sad but it’s reality.
