SMH: Five #BlackLivesMatter Protesters Shot By White Supremacists During Jamar Clark Protests In Minneapolis

White Supremacists Shoot #BlackLivesMatter Protesters In Minneapolis The protests sprung by the death of Jamar Clark have turned violent — not because of the peaceful protesters, but because of the racists that hate the fact that people care about the senseless death of a Black man at the hands of police. Some white men in bulletproof vests were spotted opening fire on the protesters, and wounded five people in the process. Via MailOnline : Five people have been shot near the site of an ongoing protest over the fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer, a Minneapolis Police Department spokesman said. Jamar Clark, 24, was shot in the head by police on November 15 while allegedly wearing handcuffs, according to witnesses. The five people shot just before midnight on Monday all have non-threatening injuries, according to Minneapolis Police Department spokesman John Elder. The shootings occurred near an alley about a block away from the 4th Precinct station, where protesters have been conducting a sit-in since Clark was shot. Protesters who witnessed the violence claim the shooters were white supremacists. Dana Jaehnert said one of the men had been wearing a mask and one was shouting ‘the “n” word’, she told The Star Tribune. Black Lives Matter spokesperson Miski Noor said they opened fire on the group when a dozen protesters attempted to herd them away from the area. Jaehnert said that’s when she heard four gunshots. The attackers then fled. A police source told KTSP that the suspects are believed to be white males wearing bulletproof vests. SMH! These protesters can’t even peacefully air their grievances over the death of an unarmed, handcuffed Black man without racists coming to shoot them down. SMH.

New Video Shows Baltimore Corrections Officers Looting In The Midst Of Riots

Baltimore Officers Caught Looting During Riots The Baltimore Police continue to be called into question after Freddie Gray’s death and the subsequent riots last month. Now, new video has surfaced showing officers sent in to help neutralize the situation joining in on the rioting. Via RawStory : Three Baltimore police officers were accused of theft in two separate investigations — including two charged after being caught on video looting a store during the unrest that followed the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray. According to the Baltimore Sun, correction officers Tamika Cobb and Kendra Richard were suspended without pay after footage showed them exiting a local convenience store holding Slim Jims and Tostitos chips on April 25. Take a look: That same day, riots broke out in the city after six hours of peaceful protests calling for charges to be filed against the officers who arrested Gray earlier that month. Six officers were later charged in connection wih Gray’s death. Both Cobb and Richard were assigned to corrections facilities downtown, near the site of the unrest. They face charges of burglary and theft, and bail was set for each of them at $35,000. Public Safety and Correctional Services Secretary Stephen T. Moyer said in a statement that authorities began investigating the two officers following a tip. “We will not allow the vast majority of our employees who are honest and hardworking to be tainted by the actions of a few,” he said. And yet…some still question that members of the Baltimore PD are crooked.
