Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said his decision to not charge Officer Mark Ringgenberg and Officer Dustin Schwarze for their roles in the death of 24-year-old Jamar Clark was based on evidence that showed Clark was not handcuffed at the time, attempted to gain control of an officer's weapon and the officers believed they were in danger of being shot.

Ringgenberg is white, and Schwarze's race has not been released.

On Nov. 15, police said they responded to a reported assault in which Clark was a suspect, and he was interfering with paramedics trying to treat the victim. Clark was shot during what authorities called a struggle. Some who said they saw the shooting have said Clark wasn't struggling at the time and was handcuffed, but Freeman said forensic evidence shows that he was not handcuffed. Clark died a day later.

The shooting prompted protests in Minneapolis, including an 18-day encampment outside a north side police precinct.

Cops shoot a guy, protests erupt, sit-ins take place, and then... the facts come out and now everyone should standing around saying... uhh. The 'witnesses' say he wasn't struggling and he was handcuffed. Science says otherwise.

Only a matter of time before this complete disregard for the justice system hits your city.

Clark sounds like a real piece of work if it's true that he assaulted the guy the paramedics were trying to help and then he was interfering with their attempts at saving the guy, obviously not a boy scout...

Having said that, I wonder how science determined if he was handcuff or not, someone can shoot an uncuffed person and then handcuff him, how the hell is forensic science gonna prove otherwise :confusedshrug:

Cops aren't what they used to be, bunch of authoritarian types who love the power trip a badge gives them for the most part, fvck 'em.

If he was handcuffed, his DNA would be on the handcuffs would be my guess.

[QUOTE]Freeman also provided evidence he said suggests Clark was not handcuffed at the time of the shooting. His office released several photos of Clark

All while calling the other guy "dumb" and "ghetto". The unintentional irony is strong in this one.
