More on Police Shootings

Thursday, April 5, 2018, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

After a series of high profile controversial police shootings of black men in 2016, there was over a year of relative quiet. That came to an end in March of 2018 when Stephon Clark was shot in Sacramento. At the same time, it was announced that there would be no charges in 2016 shooting of Anton Sterling. While we were fixated on Trump, all of the high profile police shootings of 2016 were concluded without a conviction.

For the next meeting, we will discuss the current situation in Sacramento and the conclusion of some 2016 shootings. We will also try to gain some insight into why these shooting mistakes keep happening with a talk by Malcolm Gladwell about a 1999 shooting of Amadou Diallo.
