Jamar Clark (May 3, 1991 - November 15, 2015) was killed by two Minneapolis, Minnesota police officers, Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze. He was born in Hennepin County, Minnesota. He was adopted by Wilma and James Clark when he was four. He remained in a close relationship with his biological parents and his fourteen siblings. Not much is known about Clark’s early life. He was employed at Copeland Trucking and he hoped to attend college.
He attended Nekelia Sharp’s birthday party at her apartment on the 1500 block of Plymouth Avenue North in Minneapolis. Sharp and her husband began arguing when his girlfriend, RayAnn Hayes, attempted to break up a fight between Sharp and her husband. He grabbed Hayes in an attempt to prevent her from intervening in the fight. Hayes began fighting him and broke her ankle in that struggle. Paramedics were called to treat Hayes’s injured ankle. Police arrived on the scene at the same time, they asked him to step away from the ambulance. They attempted to arrest him, wrestling him to the ground. An EMS supervisor placed a knee on his chest and then he was shot by police.
There were widely differing accounts of why he was killed. One account described him as getting into a confrontation with paramedics which led police officers to respond, generating the struggle where he was killed. Another account claimed that he grabbed a police officer’s gun, prompting the other officer to shoot him. Hennepin County District Attorney Mike Freeman explained that he was resisting arrest but was not handcuffed while Nekelia Sharp described the shooting as occurring while he was handcuffed and not resisting. Other witnesses claimed he lay still on the ground when he was shot, that he had his hands behind his back, or that his hands were up in the air when police shot him.
His death was protested by the NAACP and Black Lives Matter. The two officers who were responsible for his death were placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation was ongoing. Hennepin County Attorney announced that no charges would be filed against the officers. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #blm

Chargers Shock NFL World with Draft Decision: Is Joe Alt the Key to Unlocking Herbert's Potential?
Alright, let's get to the biggest head scratchers of the 2024 NFL draft, coach. You gave us a little teaser on this. Who's the biggest, the biggest "what the heck were they thinking" for you? Well, to me, I go back to the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Harbaugh comes in, he's got the fifth pick, and yes, I know what he wants, and I know he's got that University of Michigan Midwest mentality. We're going to pound the ball, we're going to run, we're going to be physical, and Joe Alt is going. I think he's going to be a multi-year Pro Bowler. They got a great player. But you're sitting with the fifth pick and you've got Justin Herbert, a franchise quarterback. Last year, you were 23rd in yards per attempt throwing the ball. You were 14th in passer rating with Justin Herbert. And you lost Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, and Gerald Everett. Now you've got the choice of the best offensive players in football. And you can take Brock Bowers, you can take Malik Neighbors, you can take an offensive tackle too. And he's going to be, I know he's going to solidify you for the next 10 years. But man, when I had Peyton Manning, we were looking to feed that machine and put playmakers around him. So we're drafting Edgerrin James and Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne and Joseph Addai, and just trying to put those playmakers around. You aren't going to pick fifth in the draft many more times. And who did you pass up to take that offensive tackle? I look back at the 2020 draft, the Giants were picking fourth, the Jets were picking 11th. The Giants picked Andrew Thomas, very good offensive tackle. The Jets, 11th, picked Mekhi Becton, very good offensive tackle, highly rated guys. Who did they leave on the board? Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Brandon Aiyuk. You know, I want those weapons if I've got a great quarterback, yeah. And I want protection. And that was one of the things that the Chargers didn't have last year, and the year before that, they struggled on offensive line, in particular at the right tackle spot. We know about Rashawn Slater, he's an All-Pro. But you get a chance, and you set it out your mouth, coach, that this guy is going to be a Pro Bowler the next eight or 10 years. I mean, how do you pass that up? I understand. And I wanted the Chargers to take Brock Bowers. I was a big fan of them taking Brock Bowers. But you get a chance to solidify your $200 million quarterback. You don't have to worry about the left side or the right side. And just think, if Rashawn Slater, your All-Pro, if you can't work out a contract with him, then you have Joe Alt who you can move to the left side. So I understand, and this is what the Chargers are probably thinking, "Okay, here in the next year or so, we're going to have to pay him $25, $30 million a year." With Rashawn Slater, do we want to pay him that? You don't want to be in a situation where the Ravens were in with Ronnie Stanley, where they guaranteed him a whole bunch of money and he got hurt. So, I get it. I understand it. I think it's a smart pick. Yeah, it's really interesting to hear you say that, coach, because I also think about the decision, "Do we want to take Jamar Chace or do we want to take Peneh-Sewell?" You know, and that was a legitimate conversation. Exact same conversation, yeah. When you hit it, when you hit it right on the money, it seems like that playmaker worth it. If you get a guy that's maybe your second wide receiver, as it plays out, you're probably kicking yourself going, "Man, I could have freaking had Joe Alt and he'd be holding down the left side." Like a Jamar Chace, there ain't no doubt. It's worth it. You're never going, "Man, I wish we had Peneh-Sewell." So, that, to me, is the question. How great are these CPs? He is a stud. I mean, he's considered one of the top two or three offensive tackles in all of football, correct? He's phenomenal. Would you rather have... No question. But if you're asking me, and I love Jamar Chace, you know, I love Jamar Chace. If I had a chance for either one of those guys, I'm going with the guy up front, absolutely. I'm going with the guy up front that I know is gonna be there for the next eight, ten years. Absolutely. It's not even a question. What would you say, coach, between those two? If I've got a great quarterback and I am building to scare the other team, I'm taking a great receiver. You know, it's just... I understand that philosophy of winning up front, protecting your quarterback. But if I have a chance to draft Jonathan Ogden or Randy Moss, I'm taking Randy Moss. If I've got a great quarterback, yeah. But it's only one Randy Moss. Okay, yeah. Who are those guys? Who are we talking about? Are they the real deal? That guy that can't be stopped. And I guess that's what... That's what you have to evaluate. But guys, at the end of the day, you can't go wrong with either one of these guys. I mean, at the end of the day, you solidified your offensive line or even if you get a wide receiver, you get a big play explosive wide receiver. And coach, you're not wrong for what you just said at all. I get it. And to Rodney's point, they came back for McCown in round two. So they... You know, maybe they didn't get a top-five pick as a receiver, but they got a damn good player in McCown. So you kind of middle out and you get both guys. And I just felt that the Altpic was a reflection of Harbaugh's personality and how, you know, him sending a message, yes, sending a message. Coach, I think that's, for me, for me, in the third round, um, I'm going with Trey Benson. I thought this guy was going to get drafted in the second round. I thought he was tough watching him play at Florida State, just how big and how physical he is. He made a lot of um, guys missed tackles. Just tough. And he runs downhill. It's not a lot of wasted steps. He's not guessing where the hole is at. He sees the hole, he hits it, and he's always moving forward. I think this is an outstanding pick for the Arizona Cardinals. You get Marvin Harrison Jr., you come back and get Trey Benson, I mean, two guys that are going to be two starters from day one. Kyler Murray should be feeling good about himself right now. I like that. So, head-scratcher and Benson in terms of you like this. Read the full article

As we commemorate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. this weekend, I renew attention to David Byrne's American Utopia. The central idea is that the world depends on our individual, inner transformation of mind and heart, which we cannot accomplish alone. Our true selves are linked to one another through relationships.

JUSTICE FOR JAMAR CLARK
In 2015, Jamar was at a party with his girlfriend when his girlfriend got into a fight with the party's host. Jamar pulled his girlfriend aside, and someone called for medical help, leading to the arrival of both paramedics and police. As his girlfriend was being escorted to the ambulance, Jamar tried to talk to her, and was told to step away from the ambulance. According to witnesses, that was when Jamar was attacked by officers Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, handcuffed on the ground, had a knee placed on his chest by an EMS supervisor, and shot fatally. Police dispute that Jamar was ever handcuffed, but it is indisputable that they shot and killed an unarmed man without any attempt at deescalation. (Minneapolis, MN)

My hometown of Minneapolis is burning.
And I'm tired of my liberal white friends acting like that's worse than the brutal murder of black people in the streets.

They protest peacefully with a sit-in. But sit-ins don't make the news, and so nothing changes.
Tomorrow another name will be added to the list of the dead as a result of state-sanctioned violence against their community.
They protest peacefully by marching on the sidewalk, so as not to disrupt traffic. But if you dont inconvenience the general public, you wont make the news, and nothing changes.
Another name. Another brother lost. Another beloved daughter. Another human being who's right to live was removed for no other reason than breathing while black.
They protest peacefully by taking a knee during the national anthem, and they are lambasted and mocked and the general public sets out on a quest to destroy anyone who is seen kneeling during their precious song. Still, nothing changes.
More names are added to a list that should never have started, let alone been allowed to grow this long.
Years go by. Then decades.
Thousands of names, thousands of destroyed futures, thousands of grieving families.
Grassroots community action and organization and peaceful protest continue, every single day, but go unnoticed. The general public doesn't think it's that bad. The general public claims that if people would just "comply" they'd be taken alive. Even when they see armed, violent white criminals attacking police and being taken in alive, they still say that unarmed black people must have deserved to die.
Because when your skin is seen as inherently dangerous, you can never be truly "unarmed" in the eyes of a racist system*.
So, they rise up. "You care more about protecting business and property than you've ever cared about protecting our lives!" And they burn down business and destroy property. "You protect your own from the hand of justice when they murder us for nothing!" And so they burn down police precincts.
Now the general public looks down from their privileged pillars and say, "how silly of them to burn down their neighbourhoods... that will never fix anything". They choose to remain blind and comforted in the knowledge that it's not their problem, while simultaneously believing that their understanding of the situation and necessary solution is clearer than the understanding of those on the ground, enduring state sanctioned violence against their own for generations.
The violence will only get worse as the powers-that-be refuse to change.
Maybe if you actually listened to peaceful protest, it wouldn't have had to come to this.

it has gotten to a point where it is clear this is not a bad apple problem, this is a product of structural racism that exists in every precinct in america that will continue to exist until we do something about it. innocent, unarmed black people are being murdered by police and have been for decades. peacefull protesters are being arrested and shot by police. they have shown us time after time they will not change. so we must force them to change.

Week of action to honor Jamar Clark, demand end to police terror
By Linden Gawboy
Minneapolis, MN - The week for #JusticeThruJamar kicked off with a news conference on November 12. Dozens of people gathered outside Minneapolis City Hall, in one of the first cold spells of winter, to announce a week of actions centered around the memory of Jamar Clark, who was murdered by Minneapolis police officers on November 15, 2015.
The week of actions, organized the Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar Clark (TCC4J) is focused on the demands: Reopen the case surrounding the murder of Jamar and prosecute Minneapolis Police Department officers Dustin Schwarze and Mark Ringgenberg. Stop police terror in our communities – justice for all victims of police violence. Community Control of the Police – actual, community control, not the current rubber-stamp systems that exist.
