Black Lives Matter Protesters Block NBA Game

Paul Bois

Ticket-holders to a Sacramento Kings game could not take their seats on Thursday because a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters blocked the entrance to the arena.

The protest came in response to a police shooting on Sunday that reportedly left unarmed Stephon Clark, a 22-year-old black man, dead in his grandmother’s backyard after foot pursuit over an alleged robbery. Police mistook the cell phone Clark was carrying for a gun and shot him 22 times as a result.
