Police handcuff 3 clergy members at Stephon Clark demonstration

A protest over the shooting of an unarmed black man by Sacramento police has ended with police detaining demonstrators, including clergy and a reporter.

Dozens of people staged a march at around Monday evening in a wealthy area of the city after prosecutors declined to file charges against police who shot Stephon Clark last March. The officers said they thought the 22-year-old Clark had a gun but he was holding a cellphone.

About 2 hours into the demonstration, police ordered protesters to disperse.

The Sacramento Bee reports that remaining demonstrators were later surrounded on a freeway overpass.

The Bee says police handcuffed and led away more than 20 demonstrators, including at least three clergy members, and a Bee reporter covering the demonstration who was later released.
