fuckyeahmarxismleninism:Witnesses: Black man shot by Minneapolis police was in handcuffsProtests have erupted in Minneapolis after witnesses claim a police officer shot an unarmed black man ‘in the head execution style’ while he was already in handcuffs early Sunday morning. The Minneapolis NAACP said family members and witnesses identified the man as Jamar Clark and said he was hospitalized following the shooting and is on life support.Witness Teto Wilson saw Clark ‘just laying there’ and was not resisting arrest when he was shot, according to an NAACP statement on the incident. 'Two officers were surrounding the victim on the ground, an officer maneuvered his body to shield Jamar’s body, and I heard the shot go off,’ Wilson said. |Some witnesses said police used pepper-spray on several people in the crowd and tried to push the large crowd back in what became an increasingly chaotic scene. Jason Sole, chair of the Minneapolis NAACP’s criminal justice committee, said many black residents of north Minneapolis are upset.'We have been saying for a significant amount of time that Minneapolis is one bullet away from Ferguson,’ he said.Protesters organized by the group Black Lives Matter Minneapolis marched through the streets for a rally on Sunday, beating drums and carrying banners. About 250 people began at the scene of the shooting before the group arrived at the police department’s Fourth Precinct headquarters, where they banged on the doors and demanded to be allowed inside.Raeisha Williams with the Minneapolis NAACP told the Associated Press that protesters plan to stay at the precinct until the names of the officers involved are released.Black Lives Matter Minneapolis is also demanding police release video footage documenting the shooting, which they say police took from the Elks Lodge community center across the street.how in the hell can a man ‘disarm an officer’ and get shot in the head?!?1 this is some next level bullshit. i sincerely fear for black people in america@ all the protesters who’ll be going for justice, please be safe -- source link
