Minneapolis Officials Name Cops Involved in Killing of Jamar Clark 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Minneapolis, SWAT teams fired mace and marker rounds at protesters
encamped outside the 4th Precinct Wednesday, only hours after officials
named the two Minneapolis police officers involved in the fatal shooting
of unarmed 24-year-old African-American man Jamar Clark. Authorities
said Clark was shot in the head Sunday after a scuffle with officers who
responded to a report of an assault. But multiple witnesses have said
Clark was shot while handcuffed. Minneapolis police officers Mark
Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze have been placed on administrative leave
during the investigation. As of Thursday morning, protesters were still
camped outside the north Minneapolis precinct, despite Wednesday's
police raid, in which multiple protesters reported being beaten by
police with batons and attacked with mace.
