51st Street Bridge Mass Arrests: Legal Community
to Announce Plans Monday for Civil & Criminal Actions
to Protect Rights of 84 Arrested at Stephon Clark Protests

SACRAMENTO – The National Lawyers Guild of Sacramento has announced that criminal and civil rights lawyers will hold a news briefing MONDAY/March 18 at 9:15 a.m. at the north side of now famous 51st Street Bridge over Highway 50 – scene of 84 arrests March 4 after a demonstration protesting police killings and the death of Stephon Clark.

Victims of the mass arrests will also be present - clergy, working reporters and legal observers were among those arrested during the March 4 roundup. Several injuries were reported.

Lawyers are expected to announce plans for an injunction against police, and the filing of government tort claims for violation of civil and constitutional rights, a prerequisite to the filing of a federal civil rights action.

More details will be provided at the news briefing.

Because of the abusive mass arrests, the legal community – from private practice lawyers to the County Public Defender Office – are working together to protect the racial justice movement here from any future gross miscarriage of justice, said the NLG.

Lawyers said they are concerned that although the Sacramento County District Attorney said she will not file charges, those arrested may still face city of Sacramento charges. Lawyers are considering filing petitions of “factual innocence” with the court to have the arrests expunged.

A major issue of interest to the legal team is who was responsible for preparing for the mass round-up, and what discipline will be meted out to them. Another issue is the apparent lack of police training in freedom of speech, assembly and press, and how this abusive police power was unrestrained by the police chief.

For Immediate Release

Student Walkout and March to State Capitol to Demand Action on Epidemic of Police Brutality

Sacramento, CA – In light of the Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert’s decision to not prosecute the officers who killed Stephon Clark, concerned students from Sacramento area universities and high schools will be walking out of class and marching to the California State Capitol to demand “police gun reform”. Local and state policies allow law enforcement to use deadly force without consequence, even if they are not in immediate danger. This lethal policy has lead to the deaths of countless Black Californians in Sacramento and around the state. To close this loophole that allows police to take Black life extrajudicially, we demand the following:

1) We demand that state legislators pass AB 392 (co-authored by Assemblymembers Weber and McCarty) and Governor Newsom sign the bill into law.

2) We demand the Sacramento City Council and Sacramento County Board of Supervisors adopt the provisions of AB 392 immediately as mandated policy for city police and the county sheriff departments, and publicly advocate for the passage of AB 392 this session at the state level.

3) We demand that the officers involved in murdering Stephon Clark in cold blood -- Terrance Mercadal and Jared Robinet -- be fired immediately from the Sacramento City Police Department, and prohibited from joining any other law enforcement departments in California.

4) We demand that Sacramento County District Attorney Schubert resign from her position and issue a public apology for defaming the character and life of Stephon Clark posthumously during her March 2, 2019 press conference.

5) We demand that as reparations for the War on Poor Black People, commonly known as the War on Drugs, the City of Sacramento implement and fully fund a Cannabis Equity Program and the Sacramento County District Attorney administratively expunge the records of all Sacramentans with prior cannabis-related criminal convictions.

6) We demand St. Hope CEO Jake Mossawir and Chief of Schools Kari Wehrly respond to the demands of the Next Level Advocates of Sacramento Charter High School to diversify their faculty, reduce the teacher-to-student ratio to 1:15, and provide adequate after-school space on campus for students. We also demand the Sacramento Unified School District, Twin Rivers Unified School District and Natomas Unified School District end or rescind the contracts with and remove school resource officers (a.k.a. police) from our Sacramento-area K-12 schools.

Our event is organized by the Sacramento State University Black Student Union, the Sacramento City College Black Student Union, and the Next Level Advocates of Sacramento Charter High School in coalition to demand “police gun reform” and the end of police brutality in Sacramento and California at large.

Date: Thursday, March 7, 2019
Time: 11:30 AM
Location: Sacramento City College, at the quad near the Learning Resources Center (a.k.a. Library)
