Stephon Clark, 24, an unarmed father of 2, was shot dead in his own backyard (shot 20 times, by the way) I bet you can guess what color he was.
Disturbing helicopter footage of the incident, released Wednesday, shows thermal images of Clark running through his neighborhood and hopping fences as two officers begin to close in on him. He stops at the home he shared with his grandparents and two sons. Seconds later, officers shoot him dead.
Both officers involved in the shooting have been placed on paid leave pending an investigation.
Approximately six minutes into the video that shows Clark’s killing, an officer can be heard saying “mute.” The audio then goes silent.
- My hot take
I just wanna know why a black man running AWAY from someone would cause anyone to fear for their life enough to justify shooting him 20 times. Why do body cams allow mute??? Why are they on paid leave? White power, that's why.
