So . . . the Stephon Clark execution

Every time the cops execute someone, there are folks emerging who say, "Well, if the victim had just done thus-and-such, the cops wouldn't have had to shoot him." I haven't heard, yet, what Stephon Clark should have done to avoid getting gunned down.

This one might take a while.

...implying Clark shouldn't be defended because he allegedly said (can't find a reliable citation on it) "the only thing I like black is my Playstation." Strange how victim-blaming comes from all sides this time.
