Activists Call On California AG To Charge Officers In Stephon Clark Shooting
By Sarah Ruiz-Grossman
Protests broke out after the Sacramento district attorney said she would not charge the police officers.
Tracy Martin (L), father of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin, and Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's mother, join a protest called "A Million Hoodies March" to demand justice for their son's death in New York's Union Square March 21, 2012. Martin, 17, wore a hooded sweatshirt when he was killed last month in a gated community in Sanford, Florida, by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. The incident has drawn national attention and sparked debate over Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law since Zimmerman, 28, has claimed self-defense in the fatal shooting. The police have declined to arrest him. REUTERS/Andrew Burton (UNITED STATES - Tags: CIVIL UNREST CRIME LAW)
