SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Mourners prepared to bury Stephon Clark on Thursday, after a week and a half of public grief and anger at police who mistook his phone for a gun and shot at him 20 times in his grandmother's backyard. Fliers advertising the ceremony described "A CELEBRATION OF LIFE" at Bayside of South Sacramento church - where one day earlier, during the wake, Clark's brother had to be carried inside after screaming at reporters, the latest in a string of protests formal and informal that have erupted since the fatal police shooting. On March 18, police responded to calls of someone vandalizing a neighborhood and spotted Clark running into a backyard.
