THE SACRAMENTO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS RELEASED BODY
CAM FOOTAGE FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING OF A 23-YEAR-OLD MAN BY THE NAME OF
STEPHON CLARK.
HE WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN HIS OWN BACKYARD AND IT
ALL HAPPENED WHEN POLICE WERE LOOKING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS
BREAKING INTO CARS.
THEY ALLEGEDLY MISTOOK CLARK AS THE SUSPECT AND
CHASED HIM INTO HIS GRANDMOTHER'S BACKYARD, HE WAS LIVING WITH HIS
GRANDMOTHER AT THE TIME, AND BELIEVED THAT HE HAD A GUN WHEN IN
REALITY, HE WAS HOLDING HIS CELL PHONE AND THE TWO POLICE OFFICERS
FIRED 10 SHOTS EACH.
THERE WAS PUBLIC OUTCRY FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING AND SO IN AN EFFORT TO
BE TRANSPARENT WITH THE COMMUNITY, THE OFFICERS HAVE DECIDED OR THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS DECIDED TO RELEASE THE FOOTAGE.
WHAT WE ARE
ABOUT TO SHOW YOU IS INCREDIBLY GRAPHIC.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE TO
GIVE YOU GUYS THAT WARNING BUT WITH THAT SAID, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
FIRST VIDEO.
SHOW ME YOUR HANDS!
GUN, GUN, GUN!
SHOTS FIRED.
SHOW ME YOUR
HANDS!
DOWN, NO MOVEMENT.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED ADDITIONAL UNITS.
OKAY, IT IS HARD TO SEE, RIGHT?
NOW COPS ON THE RIGHT WING WILL NOW USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE FOR IT WAS
HARD TO SEE, THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF HE HAD A GUN OR NOT.
IF YOU DIDN'T
KNOW IF HE HAD A GUN OR NOT, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED HIM.
WHEN
I SAY IT IS HARD TO SEE, I GET THAT THE COPS HAVE A TOUGH JOB AND IF YOU
ARE IN THAT BACKYARD AND THAT GUY IS RUNNING, BY THE WAY, THE REPORT WAS
THAT THE GUY HAD WHAT THEY ARE CALLING TOOLBAR, CROWBAR.
WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO, THROW IT AT YOU?
DID HE SWITCH THE CROWBAR FOR A GUN?
WHEN DID HE DO THAT?
I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS HARD BUT WE CAN'T HAVE YOU EXECUTING CITIZENS
BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT SEE.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALK ABOUT A LOT WHEN THESE STORIES COME
UP IS HOW, IN A LOT OF CASES, THE COPS DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY RISK.
THE OPEN FIRE IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE TRAINED TO DO.
DON'T RISK YOUR OWN LIFE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY REASONABLE SUSPICION THAT
THIS PERSON MIGHT HAVE A WEAPON, OPEN FIRE AND THAT IS ESSENTIALLY
WHAT HAPPENED HERE, BUT WHAT FOLLOWS IS EVEN MORE INFURIATING BECAUSE
REMEMBER, IN TOTAL THEY FIRED 20 SHOTS.
THE GUY IS ON THE GROUND.
HE IS NOT MOVING.
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THEY REACT AND TREATS AN
INNOCENT GUY AFTER THEY GUNNED HIM DOWN.
AGAIN, THESE VIDEOS ARE
GRAPHIC.
WITH THE NEXT ONE.
LET'S SEE YOUR HANDS!
YOU ARE RIGHT, YOU HIT?
HE WAS STILL POINTING.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
AMAR AND I DON'T THINK I'M
HIT.
I GOT A MAKE GUNPOINT.
YOU DO A TACTICAL RELOAD, OKAY?
I THINK I
SAW THEM ABOUT FIVE TIMES.
STANDBY ON THAT.
HE IS STILL DOWN HE'S NOT LIVING, WE CAN'T SEE THE
GUN.
WE DON'T HAVE IT.
HEY, CAN YOU HEAR US?
WE NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE OKAY DOUBT WE NEED TO GET YOU HELP, WE CAN'T DO
IT UNLESS WE KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE A WEAPON.
SIR, CAN YOU MOVE?
HE CAME UP, HE APPROACHES HANDS-ON FELL DOWN.
WE CAN'T SEE HIS LEFT
HAND.
I HAVE TO MENTION SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT.
AFTER THEY SHOT HIM AND
HE FELL TO THE GROUND, THEY HAVE COURSE CALLED FOR BACKUP.
YOU COULD
HEAR THAT IN THE SURVEILLANCE AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 TO 6 MINUTES FOR BACKUP
TO ARRIVE, SO FOR 5 TO 6 MINUTES HE IS LAYING THERE ON THE GROUND NOT
MOVING.
YOU HAVE NOT CONFIRMED WHETHER OR NOT HE HAS A WEAPON, AND
EVEN BACKUP, THEY ARE LIKE SIR, CAN YOU HEAR WHAT MARK HE IS
DEAD, YOU FIRED 20 SHOTS.
HE IS ON THE GROUND, HE HAS NOT MOVED.
CAN WE PLEASE GET THE PARAMEDICS GO IN THERE AND SEE IF THEY CAN
POSSIBLY SAVE HIS LIFE?
NO, NO.
I HAVE TO SAY, IT IS NOT THAT THEY ARE COWARDS, IT IS THAT WE
TRAIN THEM TO BE COWARDS.
IF I SHOT A GUY, WHAT I SAID THERE FOR FIVE
MINUTES AS HE BLED OUT, EVEN IF HE WAS A GUY WHO BARGED INTO MY HOUSE
AND PUT OUR LIVES IN DANGER, WHAT I JUST CALLOUSLY SIT THERE?
IF I
PURCHASE A GUY WHO IS BLEEDING OUT, THERE IS ONE PERCENT OF 1% CHANCE
THAT HE HAS BEEN LAYING A BEAR TRAP FOR ME AS HIS BLOOD IS LOSING ALL
OVER THE GROUND AND SO I WOULD RATHER NOT TAKE A 1% OF A 1% CHANCE
WHEREAS IF I RUSHED TO HIM AND I ACTUALLY PUT SOMETHING IN HIS
WOUNDS, MAYBE THERE'S A 50% CHANCE.
WE HAVE TRAINED THEM TO NOT HAVE
HUMAN REACTIONS.
A HUMAN REACTION IS I SHOT A GUY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE
HE DOESN'T DIE, EVEN IF HE POINTED HIS PHONE AT ME WHICH ISN'T WHAT HE
WAS DOING.
HE WASN'T, WHY WOULD HE POINT OF PHONE ANYONE?
YOU TO
SOMEONE ON IT.
BUT YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHECK.
YOU JUST GUNNED HIM DOWN.
CAN YOU NOT SEE WHY WE ARE ALL UPSET ABOUT THAT?
WHAT KIND OF MONSTER DOESN'T GET UPSET ABOUT IT?
AND THEN TO LET HIM
BLEED OUT, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY CASE.
THIS IS WHY WE EMPHASIZED THE
TRAINING.
PHILANDO CASTILLE, ALL THAT TIME BLEEDING OUT.
THEY WON'T ADDRESS HIM AND THEN THEY HANDCUFFED HIM AFTER THEY
KILLED HIM.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE.
I WANT TO TALK TO THE FINAL VIDEO ON THIS BECAUSE AFTER THEY
FINALLY APPROACHED HIS BODY AND COULD SEE THAT HE IS NOT
RESPONSIVE, GUESS WHAT THEY DID?
TAKE A LOOK.
LET'S GO.
WAISTBAND?
ALL RIGHT.
HEY, MAN.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED CPR STUFF.
LOOK, IT IS PART OF THE TRAINING.
IF A GUY, IF THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR
THEIR LIFE, DYING IN FRONT OF YOU, DO NOT BE HUMAN.
BE ABSOLUTELY
AFRAID, HANDCUFF A GUY WHO IS BLEEDING OUT.
I HAVE NOW SHOWN
DOZENS OF VIDEOS ON THE YOUNG TURKS OF COPS HANDCUFFING PEOPLE WHO ARE
BLEEDING TO DEATH.
WHY?
I DON'T TAKE ANY RISK.
WHAT ARE MY, A COP?
DO I HAVE WEAPONRY OR LIVER ME SO I HAVE EVERYTHING, I HAVE 8000 BACKUP
BUT NO, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ONE PERCENT OF 1% OF 1% RISK THAT A GUY
BLEEDING TO DEATH IN FRONT OF ME MIGHT ABSOLUTELY ACTUALLY SCRATCH ME
AS SOMETHING BECAUSE I SEE HIS PHONE.
YOU SEE IN THE VIDEO, HIS
PHONE IS RIGHT THERE, THERE'S NO GUN.
WHO CARES ABOUT HIS LIFE?
HIS
LIFE MEANS NOTHING GOT WE HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO BE COWARDS WE ARE GOING
TO HANDCUFF THAT GUY BLEEDING TO DEATH.
THAT IS NOT A COP.
THAT IS
NOT OUR COPS.
YOU KNOW THEIR SLOGAN, ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS
BETTER TO BE JUDGED BY 12 THAN CARRIED OUT BY 6.
IN OTHER WORDS,
EXECUTE THEM, WHO CARES, WE DON'T GET CALLED TO ACCOUNT, THOSE JURORS
ALWAYS LET US OFF, BETTER TO BE JUDGED BY 12 BUTTON THEN CARRIED OUT
BY 6.
LET'S ALL TRAINED TO BE COWARDS AND NEVER ACTUALLY HAVE THE
COURAGE TO SAY WAIT, IT IS DARK.
IS THAT A GUN OR CROWBAR OR A PHONE?
NO, WE TRAIN THEM TO JUST MURDER THE GUY, LET THEM BLEED OUT BECAUSE YOUR
LIFE IS 1 BILLION TIMES MORE IMPORTANT THAN A CITIZEN'S LIFE.
AND THAT IS NOT OUR COPS.
IT IS JUST A PARAMILITARY FORCE MS.
OCCUPY
US.
NOT INTERESTED IN THAT.
WE SHOULD ELECT TO PROSECUTORS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY, DAS LIKE LARRY KRASNER IN PHILADELPHIA AND WE SHOULD ROOT
OUT THIS INJUSTICE AGAINST ALL OF US SO THEY STOP MURDERING US.
YOU ARE
NOT HERE TO PROTECT AND SERVE US, YOU ARE HERE TO PROTECT AND SERVE
YOURSELF.
IT IS PLAIN AS DAY IN THAT VIDEO.
STOP TEACHING THE COPS THAT
THEY NEED TO BE COWARDS.
