Police shot Stephon Clark. Then their bodycams went mute.
The fatal shooting by police officers of an unarmed black man, Stephon Clark, in Sacramento last week has opened up a new front in the national debate over body cameras: officers' ability to turn off the microphone on the device.
Body cam footage from the two officers who shot Clark in a residential backyard shows the shooting and the aftermath, including the moment when one officer says, "Hey, mute," turning off the audio on both cameras while the video continues to roll. The unanswered questions about the muted cams have stoked suspicion among Clark's family and protesters.
