Hundreds attend Minneapolis funeral for 24-year-old Jamar Clark as protests

Police presence in the area was immediately augmented in the area following the attacks.

Nevertheless, Black Lives Matter protesters plan to press on for justice. They are still searching for the other two suspects.

“We just want her to do her job”, Hill said.

Authorities raided the man’s Bloomington home and seized a dozen weapons.

Back at the 4th Precinct, a handful of protesters of Clark’s shooting kept fires going at the site where have held forth since November 15.

The programs at Jamar Clark’s funeral said, “in loving memory”.

For the most part, members of the black community say they still don’t feel it. Even on a Tuesday night when everything seemed to go about as well as could have been hoped, the lingering feelings among black activists in Chicago was bitterness and frustration.

Cameron Clark was hit in the leg and foot in a shooting that injured five protesters Monday night.

Police also detained a 32-year-old Hispanic man, who was released after questioning.

The suspects from the Monday night shooting near the Fourth Precinct are in custody at the Hennepin County Jail and will remain there until at least Monday, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Wednesday. Inside, his obituary said the 24-year-old man “liked to swim, fish, listen to music, play basketball, be with family and take trips to Charlotte, North Carolina”. Ahead of a planned protest in Portland, Ore., he tweeted: “Black Lives Matter is planning to protest at Lloyd Center on black Friday”.

Questions have been raised whether Clark was handcuffed when he was shot, which police have denied. Vehicles in the procession honked their horns, and protesters shouted “Justice for Jamar”.

Johnson disputed comments that police had taken too long to react to the shooting, and said officers responded in three minutes.

His funeral earlier Wednesday attracted hundreds of people.

Police say Gustavsson and Macey turned themselves in.

Bishop Richard Howell praised protesters for pressure that he said helped get a federal civil rights investigation and the names of the officers involved.

“We wanted to continue the community space we’ve been building here and use a lot of the resources that we’ve been receiving to give back to the community”, said Miski Noor of Black Lives Matter.

Ali spoke outside the church hosting Clark’s funeral.

Protesters have demanded that authorities release video of Clark’s death.

“They have called for peace and a cessation of protests for Jamar’s sake and the safety of the community”, Belton said, according to Star Tribune. Clark’s family has asked for protesters to end the 4th Precinct encampment, out of concern for their safety, and U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison said it would be wise to “start thinking about an exit strategy” and what to do next.

A demonstrator describes how five protesters were shot earlier in front of a Minneapolis Police precinct headquarters early Tuesday morning in Minneapolis.

Belton said the vigil should end to “restore order” to the community, which he said has endured open gunfire, traffic and service interruptions, smoke from the protesters’ fires and hours of helicopter noise.

The officers who shot Clark, Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, were placed on standard paid administrative leave pending ongoing investigations by the FBI and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. However, activists claim Clark was lying handcuffed on the ground and was not resisting at the time of the shooting.

The family of a black man who was fatally shot by Minneapolis police are preparing to lay him to rest. His death has prompted protests and demonstrations outside of the Fourth Precinct police station, as well as marches through Minneapolis.
