From the Associated Press:
The two Sacramento police officers whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black man last year prompted nationwide protests will not face criminal charges, prosecutors announced Saturday.
Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said Officers Terrance Mercadal and Jared Robinet used lethal force lawfully. The officers have said they thought Clark, a vandalism suspect, had a gun but investigators found only a cellphone.
“We must recognize that they are often forced to make split-second decisions and we must recognize that they are under tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving circumstances,” Schubert said.
And from CNN:
The US Department of Justice announced Friday there wasn't enough evidence to "pursue federal criminal civil rights charges against" a former Tulsa, Oklahoma, police officer who shot an unarmed black man in 2016.
Former Officer Betty Shelby shot and killed Terence Crutcher, 40. Shelby, who is white, said she fired out of fear when she killed Crutcher, who had his hands above his head. She was acquitted of manslaughter in May 2017 and resigned from the department in August 2017.
The Justice Department said in a news release Friday "the federal review sought to determine whether Shelby violated federal law by willfully using unreasonable force against Crutcher." Federal investigators ultimately determined there wasn't enough evidence to "prove beyond a reasonable doubt" that Shelby's use of force was "objectively unreasonable" under the Supreme Court definition. This means there's no evidence to show that Shelby violated Crutcher's constitutional rights with "deliberate and specific intent" to do something illegal.
