Officers shot Stephon Clark. A debate over deadly force is now brewing in Sacramento.

In March 2018, two Sacramento police officers shot and killed Stephon Clark, an unarmed black man. Following the District Attorney's decision not to prosecute the officers, protesters took to the streets in opposition. Despite a largely peaceful protesters, Sacramento Police decided to arrest 84 people. Among the detainees were three reporters. Sacramento Bee reporter Sam Stanton discusses what he saw, as his colleague was put in handcuffs. Later in the show, Democratic Assemblymembers Kevin McCarty and Shirley Weber chime in to promote a plan that would raise the standard under which officers could use deadly force. Finally, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger makes the cut for our Buzz of the Week segment for his comments about refusing to endorse Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election.
