Man Shot By Police Dies After Night Of BLM Protests, Family Says

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – 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.

Clark’s 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.

BLM - I always think Bureau of Land Management.

And I don’t think either BLM is worth a bowel movement,

Once upon a time, BLM stood for Bureau of Land Management, the government forestry service.

Halcyon days.

Next spring. It’s too cold and wet to display rage. Maybe indoors like the Mall of America during the shopping rush for CHRISTMAS (I did that because I like to write ‘Christmas’).

Yup, the protest was about a mile from my house last night. I was wondering what all the sirens and helicopters were about then I turned on the TV........What a bunch of A-holes!
Glad they arrested a bunch of them.

For what? There’s no threat or anything else worthy of reporting.

It sounds like the man should have sought medical treatment after being shot, rather than spending all night protesting.

“Witnesses” have said Clark was handcuffed at the time........

Who might be surprised to find these same witnesses were of the same race as JAMAR, hoping to get another Ferguson started?

Yes, I want to know the same thing. It should have been done immediately.

I doubt she’d even be questioned. She’s entitled.
