Good morning.

The morning after protests roiled Sacramento and local clergy implored him to do the opposite, Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced that he would not bring criminal charges against the two officers who shot and killed Stephon Clark, a 22-year-old black man, in his grandmother’s backyard about a year ago.

“Our investigation can’t change what has happened,” he said.

Mr. Becerra’s announcement yesterday came days after the Sacramento district attorney, Anne Marie Schubert, said her office wouldn’t prosecute the officers, though Mr. Becerra said the two offices came to their conclusions independently.

Mr. Clark’s death has been a flash point in California, where it’s the latest version of a tragic story line that has played out across the country: An unarmed young black man is killed by police officers who said they believed he had a gun and believed their lives were in danger.

The legal fights are far from over. In January, Mr. Clark’s family filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city and the two officers.
