Is the Root going to do a piece on Mr. Clark’s disdain for Black women, specifically dark-skinned Black women who are holding the state accountable for his life?
Tossing aside the fact that Clark shouldn’t have been shot at at all...
I also find it interesting that the ‘released’ helicopter video, which would have shown the supposed vandalism, was cut to just before the shooting, yet the body cam video is nearly 20 minutes. What does the helicopter video actually show?
