2 Arrests During Night of Protests in Minneapolis After Jamar Clark Killed

Posted on November 20, 2015

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The latest in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a black man by Minneapolis police that has sparked days of demonstrations (all times local):

12:45 a.m.

Two people were arrested after police say they spray-painted walls and windows of a precinct building with profane messages during a protest over the fatal shooting of a black man by a Minneapolis police officer.

The Minneapolis Police Department tweeted early Friday that two men were arrested on suspicion of felony damage to property. The department said they were the only arrests during the demonstration outside the station where protesters have gathered since the shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark on Sunday.

Clark was fatally wounded in what police say was a scuffle with officers responding to an assault. Some community members allege Clark was handcuffed, which police dispute.

The Star Tribune reports the scene was mostly peaceful Thursday night. A night earlier in the same spot, police said officers were hit with pepper spray, bottles, rocks and bricks, and a chemical spray was used to control the crowd.
