Krasner, who was elected by overwhelmingly black and Latino voters and heavily supported by #BlackLivesMatter movement activists, has been committed to the revolutionary justice reforms he promised during his progressive campaign. Since taking office in January, Krasner has fired 31 prosecutors who he said not did not fit his law-reform agenda. These cases have become routine , accepted as a cruel type of justice for black and brown Americans. Cellphone video shows Sterling pinned to the ground moments before he was shot six times outside a convenience store. In Sacramento, Stephon Clark's story is similar: Clark was shot in his grandmother's backyard after he raised his hands, as police ordered.
