“A trove of newly released police video shows officers, concerned that Stephon Clark was armed and only pretending to be dead after they shot him, waited about five minutes before attempting lifesaving CPR.
Clark, gunned down by police in his Sacramento, California, backyard on March 18, was unarmed, with only a cellphone on him. But officers who shot Clark as they investigated a report of someone breaking car windows were apprehensive about approaching him, according to the newly released Sacramento Police Department material, which includes 23 in-car camera videos, 28 body camera videos, two 911 audio files and helicopter video. The files were released under a city law that requires video evidence from critical incidents be made public within a month.
“He have a gun?” one officer can be heard saying.
“I don’t see it,” another responded. “He hasn’t moved at all.”
They then shouted at Clark.
“We need to know if you’re OK,” a female officer said. “We need to get you medics, but we can’t go over to get you help unless we know you’re, you don’t have your weapon.”
Finally, they handcuffed him and began performing CPR after one of the officers said something in Clark’s hand looked like a gun.
“Shine me a light,” one officer said. “Come on buddy, wake up, breathe for me. Come on bud. Come on bud.”
