Two days after he was killed she received a $10,000 donation from a police union for her re-election campaign, then a couple of days later another donation of $3,000.
She has received a total of almost $500,000 in donations from police unions in her campaigns for public office.

She has never prosecuted police officers for killing civilians.
The police who killed Stephon Clark were responding to a 911 call reporting someone breaking car windows.
The response included police helicopters in a massive show of force for what was a minor property crime in which there is no evidence Mr. Clark was involved.

They pursued him over fences through numerous people's backyards, until they killed him in his grandmother's backyard.
DA Schubert isn't up for election now until 2022 but people have been protesting outside her office every day since Stephon Clark was killed (prompting her to erect a massive fence around the office) and will continue to do so until she is voted out of office.

Correction to my first tweet: I said police shot Sttephon Clark 6 times in the back, it was in fact at least 8. They shot him at least 6 times as he was falling or already on the ground.
