  1. So this thug was apparently smashing random windows? I'm supposed to feel bad that he thought it was a good idea to run and then raise is hands in a dark backyard while holding something in his hand? If that's the actual way it went down, I feel no sympathy.

  2. JoAnn Kirk 'Sacramento Police officers responded to reports of a man breaking in cars on the 7500 block on 29th Street in Meadowview around 9:15 p.m. During a neighborhood sweep, officers identified at least three vehicles with damage that was believed to have been caused by the man they were looking for, according to the Sacramento Police Department. They also found a shattered sliding glass door in a house adjacent to Clark's grandmother's home. Sacramento Sheriff's Department deputies assisting by helicopter said they had seen the suspect break the door with an object described as a "toolbar". The deputies in the helicopter said the man was later seen running towards the front of the home, stopping to look inside another car. The helicopter then helped lead the Sacramento Police officers to backyard of Clark's grandmother's house where they saw Clark along the side of the home. After finding Clark along the side of the house, the two officers involved said they asked Clark to show his hands but he ran to the backyard of the house. The police officers said they saw the Clark facing them, advancing forward with his arms extended while holding what they perceived as a gun. The officers fired, fearing for their safety, according to the Sacramento Police Department.' I, like many others, will wait for a bit more of the facts to emerge in the investigation before jumping to a final conclusion. Of course, I'm sure there were inevitably faults on both ends.
