Three White Suspects Detained in Minneapolis Black Lives Matter Shooting

Later, Black Lives Matter discovered a video that the two men filmed en route to the Fourth Precinct from Uptown.

On Tuesday, Minneapolis police arrested a 23-year-old white man, who remained in custody, and a 32-year-old Hispanic man, who was later released. Ali noted that it took more than a year before Chicago officials on Tuesday released footage of the police shooting death of a black teenager. A Hennepin County District Court Judge has granted the county attorney’s office until Monday at noon to making a charging decision on the suspects.

Shots were fired early Wednesday morning near the scene of a Minneapolis protest for the second night in a row, but there were no reports of injuries, police said. Black Lives Matter Minneapolis responded, “Using a broken grand jury system that convicts less than 3% of cops is completely unacceptable”.

Three men have been arrested in connection to the Minneapolis shooting that wounded five people.

” ‘I don’t want to perpetuate rumor, ‘ U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, who has joined the group throughout the week-plus demonstration, said after the shootings”. They also received a commitment that the tapes of Mr. Clark’s shooting will be shared with the family and made public as soon as it will not impede the investigation.

Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said that their arrests are an “effort to bring any and all those responsible to justice”.

Omeoga, who has been participating in protests since last Monday, said the three masked people “weren’t supposed to be there”.

March leaders led the way on the back of a red truck and shared words of encouragement from a bullhorn.

For numerous families of those killed by police the rush of scrutiny and attention – a burden that comes as they prepare to bury their loved one – is overwhelming.

“We’re here for Jamar”, one said, according to Henry Habu, who had been providing security for the demonstrators. The president of the Minneapolis police union says Clark was never handcuffed and had grabbed the handle of one officer’s holstered gun.

Police said little else about the arrests.

We are very concerned that last night, five community members were shot in our city. ‘We’re hearing two [arrests] at this time, ‘ Williams explained.

Ten days after the controversial shooting of Jamar Clark, a funeral was held for the 24-year-old in north Minneapolis. “Safety, for everyone in this city, continues to be my priority”. Many activists said they are incredulous at the gulf between the two narratives, and even more so at the idea that the police narrative is to be most trusted.

The right to peacefully gather is an essential expression of our constitutional right to free speech. We thank and support those of our officers who have been working to ensure that our community is safe for everyone.

At times, it has looked like a city coming apart at the seams. “We can’t back down”. State and federal investigations are underway. “We believe the police department is facilitating the injustice, bullying the protesters”.

The shooting follows months of Fox News attacks on the Black Lives Matter movement, including Fox hosts likening the movement to “the Nazi Party”, and the “Klu Klux Klan”, and a “hate group”.

The procession also stopped at the 4th Precinct to acknowledge the protesters who’ve occupied the front lawn since the shooting.

Some of the first words spoken at Jamar Clark’s funeral were his own.

At least one member of Clark’s family asked Tuesday for the protests to end. I know there’s a lot of speculation as to who these people were. “Fourth Precinct, start taking donations for a new building, because we are not going anywhere”.

Regular protestor Korey Dean told the NY Times that he saw a lot more diverse faces Tuesday night, and guessed that the shooting of activists had further united the community.
