Federal investigators will release their report Wednesday on whether two Minneapolis police officers violated the civil rights of Jamar Clark when he was shot to death during an altercation in November, according to sources with knowledge of the case.
Mayor Betsy Hodges asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Clark’s death, which triggered massive protests and gained nationwide attention. The report will be made public during an 11 a.m. news conference at the FBI headquarters in Brooklyn Center, sources said.
The officers, Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, are white, and Clark was black. The federal probe likely considered either charges of conspiracy by the two officers, Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, to violate Clark’s civil rights or deprivation of civil rights under “color of law,” that is, a violation of those rights by those specifically working in an official capacity (including a police officer). A violation of the latter statute that results in a death carries the potential for a multiyear or lifetime prison sentence, or the death penalty.

I found that on a police website. This is something the media will never ever ever report in a million years and stuff like this goes on all the time.
