Protesters in Minneapolis have started throwing bricks at police squad cars in retaliation to the shooting of Jamar Clark. Clark, 24, was arrested and restrained by Minneapolis authorities on Sunday, and he passed away a day later.
Protesters Chant ‘No Justice, No Peace’ for Clark
According to eyewitness accounts, Clark wasn’t engaging in any suspicious activities. The entire encounter was captured by video, and it clearly shows Jamal Clark as being handcuffed and restrained before being shot.
Racial strains in Minneapolis have brought about police being under siege at their own precinct. The cops declare they restrained Clark in link to an assault. Authorities are asserting that Clark had ‘control of the guns’ of both officers involved, and that is the reason why he was shot.
This Brings Black Lives Matters to A New Height
While neither Ringgenberg nor Schwarze (the police officers in question) have had any kind of disciplinary activity taken against them, their records show that they’ve had run ins with federal courts before. Not too many details have been disclosed.
When Will Minneapolis Release the Truth?
Jamal Clark has been confirmed to have been unarmed at the time of the shooting. Family and activists have set camp around the precinct. The ethnicities of the police officers were redacted from the report. A couple of community participants and eyewitness maintain that Clark handcuffed when he was shot, making this an unlawful, racist move on part of the city police. Those who made the choice to leave the freeway prior to apprehensions started marched back to the Fourth Precinct, stopping to sign up with hands and share a moment of silence at the location where Jamar was killed.
