No Charges For Minneapolis Officers In Jamar Clark Shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Two Minneapolis police officers will not be charged in the fatal shooting of a black man last November.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced his decision not to charge Officers Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze in the shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark on Wednesday. Ringgenberg is white; Schwarze's race has not been released.
Clark was shot by police Nov. 15 during what authorities called a struggle. But some people who say they saw the shooting have said Clark wasn't struggling and was handcuffed. Clark died a day later.
Clark's shooting prompted protests in Minneapolis, including an 18-day encampment outside a north side police precinct.
Earlier this month, Freeman announced he wouldn't call a grand jury to decide whether the officers should be charged. Public skepticism over grand juries, whose work is secret, grew after officers in three high-profile shootings of blacks weren't indicted recently.
