Death: Culture of Policing African-Americans.
Hang ’em high!
Would you instead die at the end of a rope or the end of the barrel of a gun?
The rope has been traded in for a Glock 19. Family members no longer gather around anymore for a picnic at an old oak tree to enjoy a “good” lynching.
The not so new form of vigilante policing is too swift for us to make it to the old oak tree to observe the killing of a negro.
Plus we can now watch the latest killing on our I-phone, or repeatedly on youtube — from the comfort of our living rooms.
On March 18, 2018, Sacramento police gunned down Stephon Clark, an unarmed 22-year-old after he had vandalized and attempted to burglarize a series of neighborhood vehicles — according to police.
According to an unofficial autopsy report, Stephon Clark was shot eight times — six times in the back and twice on other parts of his body — he was holding a cell phone in his hand.
A total of twenty shots were fired, at the suspected car thief, by two police officers — one black and the other white.
Clark an attention seeking car thief was known to some social media flies as a wholesale hater of black women because of the deriding tweets that he would oft-times post to Twitter about them.
Stephon Clark fathered two children by an Asian woman, Selena Manni.
Since the killing of Stephon Clark, his buffoonish male sibling Stevante Clark has tried to garnish the attention he lacks by going on television acting out in a most savage way that makes it appears that wild animals in zoos and jungles are more palatable to allow inside your living room than he does.
Stevante Clark, the Stepping-Fetchit clown, attention-grabbing buffoon has disrupted city council meetings and disgraced the memory of his brother.
Stevante Clark is an aspiring Rapper. At all of his appearances on behalf of his family, he tries to make the death of his brother about himself.
Of course, on one side of the aisle, some people see the buck-dancing prancing Sevante as trying to grab the spotlight to further his rap career and get a large settlement from the city of Sacremento.
Imagine being famous over the death of your relative, Sevante said.
While others believe that Sevante Clark has PTSD, he’s lost his older and younger brothers to gun violence.
At the funeral Thursday, Clark made one of several references about pushing for the city for change in poorer neighborhoods, including opening libraries and community resources centers.
To date, Sevante has called for building libraries and other monuments named after his brother, other than a Go-Fund Me account — he’s yet to request for financial support for the children that his brother left behind.
