s latest effort to fight for social justice is being challenged by California prosecutors ... who are demanding the NFL stop running a video about the police shooting ofThe California District Attorneys Association fired off a letter Tuesday to the NFL Commissioner outlining why it believes the Stephon Clark Legacy video,"though well intentioned," also"performs a disservice instead of a public service by omitting the crucial facts which preceded Mr. Clark's tragic death.
Among the complaints made by the association's president, Vern Pierson, is that the video leaves out the fact the Sacramento County D.A. and California Attorney General came to the conclusion the 2 police officers involved in Stephon's 2018 death broke no laws.created by Inspire Change -- a joint initiative between the NFL and Jay-Z's Roc Nation which aims to raise awareness about racial injustice and improve police and community relations.
You might recall, officers opened fire on Stephon in grandmother's backyard, believing he was brandishing a weapon. It was actually a phone, but Stephon was shot 8 times with 6 bullets hitting him in the back. Stephone, of course, was holding a cell phone. He was shot 8 times ... with 6 of those bullets striking him in the back.
