Over the weekend, District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert announced that the Sacramento police officers who killed Stephon Clark would not face criminal charges. Mr. Clark, a 22-year-old, unarmed black man, was shot last year in his grandmother’s backyard. Police officers fired their weapons 20 times in Mr. Clark’s direction within seconds of turning a blind corner. A Times analysis of video of the shooting found that the gunfire continued after Mr. Clark had fallen to his hands and knees. There’s no question that a human being died,” Ms. Schubert said on Saturday in Sacramento.
