SACRAMENTO, Calif. California prosecutors on Tuesday asked the NFL to remove a video produced as part of the league's Inspire Change campaign, saying it misrepresents the circumstances leading to the fatal shooting of a Black man in 2018. The video shows Sequette Clark speaking about the death of her son, Stephon Clark, who was killed in the backyard of his grandparents home. The shooting led to weeks of protests in Sacramento and across the nation, sometimes disrupting games by the NBA's Sacramento Kings.

The letter asks Goodell to reexamine the factual findings of Stephon Clarks death and produce a video that accurately depicts the conduct of all concerned in an officer involved shooting.
