MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) â Jamar Clark, the 24-year-old north Minneapolis man who was shot by police Sunday, has been taken off life support and has died, according to family members.
Clarkâs shooting has ignited a series of protests by the group Black Lives Matter.
On Monday, more than 50 people were arrested during a Black Lives Matter protest that shut down I-94W in Minneapolis for over two hours.
The shooting happened early Sunday morning on Plymouth Avenue North. Police were responding to a report of a man, later identified as Clark, assaulting a woman.
On the way to that call, police were notified that Clark was interfering with paramedics. When police arrived, they say there was a struggle and an officer shot Clark.
Witnesses have said Clark was handcuffed at the time, but police and state investigators say it appears, preliminarily, that was not the case.
Relatives of Clark told WCCO that he has been taken off life support and has died.

He could have NOT assaulted a woman and the whole problem would have been moot. Kind of like inviting trouble.

They like doing this: blocking major thoroughfares at times when useful people are trying to get to places where they earn their own money, or back to places where they feed, clothe and raise their own kids.

Has anyone ever done a study of the life expectancy and odds of incarceration associated with the act of naming a baby “Jamar” or “Trayvon” versus choosing a name like “James” or Timothy”?

So go out and riot until someone gets shot and get an excuse to riot some more.

On Sunday night, a woman went bananas on the phone with me because she continued to wait, north of 30 mins, for a cab in north Minneapolis. This was at about 3:10am. Four passengers, 3 children plus herself.
Finally I explained to her that Sunday overnight hours were the absolute worst time to try to get a taxi: there are many fewer drivers on duty b/c they already worked the weekend shift and were resting up for the M-Sat workweek. I also reminded her that there are no buses, trains, or other forms of public transportation because MOST PEOPLE HAVE TO GO TO WORK OR SCHOOL on Monday morning, therefore there was no demand.
You could have heard a pin drop on that phone call.

So Acronyms get goofy again, BLM is or is not Bureau of Land Management.
It’s no wonder every snowflake moans about labels.

So the guy got shot and still went out and protested all night without seeking medical attention? Can we then say his BLM protesting killed him?
