Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said that “professional
protesters” flooded a weekend vigil honoring Stephon Clark, a
22-year-old unarmed black man shot and killed by Sacramento police
officers.

over the death of Clark, whom two Sacramento police officers shot in the
back 7 times on March 18, according to an independent autopsy. During a news conference Monday, Jones called the vigil on Saturday night a “peaceful, meaningful assembly with little incident” — until a Sacramento County sheriff’s police cruiser struck a 61-year-old protester. That really got the paid protesters going, according to Jones.
