Protests over Stephon Clark's Killing Disrupt Sacramento City Council
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sacramento, widespread protests continue over the fatal police
shooting of Stephon Clark, an unarmed African-American man who was shot
by police officers 20 times in his own backyard. On Tuesday, hundreds of
protesters disrupted the Sacramento City Council meeting. They were led
by Stephon Clark's brother, Stevonte Clark, who rushed into the council
chamber and jumped onto the desk of Mayor Darrell Steinberg.

Stevonte Clark: "Stephon Clark! Stephon Clark! Stephon Clark! Stephon
Clark! Stephon Clark! Stephon Clark! Stephon Clark! Stephon Clark!
Stephon Clark! Stephon Clark! Stephon Clark! Stephon Clark! Stephon
Clark!"

On Tuesday, mass protests demanding justice for Stephon Clark also
blockaded the doors of the Golden 1 Center during the Sacramento Kings
basketball game, barring some fans from entering the arena.
