Wicked! Police Murder Unarmed Black Man Sparking Nationwide Protest In America

 

A 24-year-old black man said to be unarmed who was shot by Minneapolis police on Sunday has died, a local television station reported on Tuesday, citing his brother.

 

Community activists have identified the deceased as Jamar Clark, who they said was unarmed, handcuffed and shot in the head. Officials have declined to identify the person or confirm he died, but police said he was not handcuffed when he was shot.

 

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said a man tentatively identified as Jamar Clark died on Monday at 9:25 p.m. CST. Shawn Wilson, operations manager at the medical examiner's office, declined to confirm Clark's age or race.

 

Wilson said the medical examiner's office was treating the case as a homicide investigation. Hennepin County officials said they would release information on the case later.

 

Relatives of the dead man could not be reached immediately. Clark's death has sparked protests and dozens of arrests.

 

The deaths of unarmed black men and women by police in the United States over the past year have fueled protests nationwide and rekindled a national civil rights movement under the banner Black Lives Matter.
