Stephon Clark's family wants supporters to back new bill would change require police officers to attempt de-escalation prior to using lethal force
The family of Stephon Clark are angry over the decision not to charge the police officers who shot and killed him last year.
But they're also clear about what they want their supporters to do next: Support the passage of a new bill that would ensure no other California family has to suffer the same fate. In a statement released Saturday on behalf of the Clark family, a close family friend called for supporters to advocate for the passage of Assembly Bill 392, which would change police use of force policies and require officers to attempt de-escalation prior to using lethal force.
