The latest Cause Du Jour is that of Stephon Clark, a black man in Sacramento shot dead by the police in his grandmothers back yard. News today broke that an autopsy showed that he was shot eight times… seven times in the *back.* That sounds… not good for the case of the cops who claimed that Clark was advancing on them. But then there’s police helicopter footage of the incident, and things get a little muddier. To me, it *looks* like he was advancing on them at a slow walk when he was shot once, he fell down onto his front, and the cops continued to plink away at him. It *seems* to be less bad, in that now it looks like “shot in the back” doesn’t mean “shot while running away,” but it does mean they were shooting at a guy who was prone on the ground.
