Did Sacramento Police need to kill Darell Richards?
Sacramento Bee California Opinion Editor Gil Duran and Executive Editor Lauren Gustus examine the case of Darrel Richards, a mentally-impaired 19-year-old Black man killed by Sacramento police in Sept. 2018. One witness, and an attorney for Richards' family, say the situation could have been addressed without deadly violence. They also say police kept changing their story about what the evidence showed.
