Nearly two years after Pasadena police fatally shot Anthony McClain as he ran from a traffic stop, LA County District Attorney George Gascón announced he’s not filing criminal charges against the officer who killed him.
Harper says that, as a passenger at the traffic stop, McClain did nothing wrong in running from officers.
"We as citizens of the USA have a right to not speak to police, not a crime they can clearly articulate," she said."Don't believe a crime is afoot, don't have a right to detain." The city of Pasadena said it is reviewing the detailed analysis. It settled in November with McClain's family members for $7.5 million as part of a wrongful death lawsuit."If this had been a white child in Hastings Ranch shot twice in the back by a Black officer? Oh, that Black officer would have been under the jail by the end of the day," she said.
