Loud cries for justice echoed in Sacramento's City Council Chambers after council members left the room, shutting down the meeting.
"Police brutality is murdering my neighbors," shouted Reverend Ronald Bell of Clear As A Bell COGIC.
The council exited in the face of support shown for more police accountability -- something they said was disrupting discussion about possible new use of force guidelines for city officers.
The 18 shots fired at Joseph Mann in July were much on the mind of many in the room as his family has filed a wrongful death suit against the city as dash cam video has shown police tried to target the mentally ill man with their cruiser before he was shot to death.
