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.
