Reverend Al Sharpton has declared that "Stephon Clark has woken up the nation" as hundreds of mourners gathered to honour and chant the name of the 22-year-old, who was shot by police officers in his grandparents’ backyard. Sacramento police officers responding to reports of vehicle break-ins opened fire when they encountered Mr Clark, discharging their weapons 20 times as one officer shouted “Gun”! Searching the scene in the aftermath, they found only a mobile phone. The shooting has ignited waves of protests in Sacramento and fanned a national outcry about another black man being killed by police officers.
