On the surface the support for 22 year old Stephon Clark has been overwhelming. The Sacramento native was gunned down and murdered by local police after being chased by the officers. The ensuing cops fired 20 shots, ultimately striking and killing Clark. Autopsy revealed that he was hit by eight bullets, six in the back, one in the thigh and one in the neck. That autopsy report countered the officers claim that Clark was approaching them when they shot him. Since his death, there have been numerous rallies, protests against his killing and the onslaught of murders by police officers against unarmed Black people. The latest rally was spearheaded by former NBA player Matt Barnes, who is also a Sacramento native. Other NBA players, specifically some from the Sacramento Kings have joined in on the protests against the killing. Former Sacramento player, DeMarcus Cousins offered to pay for Clark’s funeral.
Would someone please offer proof that these tweets or accounts are authentic. Friends? Family? Associates? Someone who knew him in real life and followed him on Twitter at the time of these tweets who’s willing to go on the record.
They already have. His brother confirmed they are real, but says it was just “bad jokes”. Sorry, cant wrote this on off as “fake”. His account wasnt hacked, they arent fake, and he really felt that way about about black women and people. Let those who he held to such high esteem march for his Tom ass. I am good.
