Video And Other Evidence Released In Jamar Clark Shooting
By: Michael McIntee, UpTake Reporter
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said he was releasing all of the video in the police killing of Jamar Clark. We’re posting it here as we get it.
Freeman declined to charge either of the officers in the case today.
Freeman said the biggest question in the investigation was whether Clark was handcuffed when a police officer shot him. Freeman said there was conflicting testimony from witnesses about that, but DNA and other lab tests showed the handcuffs were not on Clark when he was shot.
Statements from the police officers said Clark was attempting to grab an officers gun and they feared for their lives when they decided to shoot Clark. According to statements from the officers Clark said “I’m ready to die” just before they shot him.
