  • Wed, 11:17: RT @esmemurphy: .@HennepinAtty says charges "not warranted " against officers in #JamarClark shooting - extraordinarily detailed news conf…
  • Wed, 11:22: After watching the whole announcement about #JamarClark, I agree that he was most likely not handcuffed and that the officers were scared.
  • Wed, 11:23: I agree that it was very likely that #JamarClark had his hands on one officer's weapon, which very well could have required deadly force.
  • Wed, 11:24: What shocks me, however, is that it was only 61 seconds from the police arriving to #JamarClark's shot. Therein lies the opportunity.
  • Wed, 11:25: Chief Harteau's strong warning against protests leads me to believe she and all of MPD need deescalation training. #JamarClark
  • Wed, 11:26: I may only be a parent of a 2 year old, but tone and approach matter in emotional situations. Threats don't de-escalate. #JamarClark
  • Wed, 11:28: In countries where police officers do not carry firearms, I believe #JamarClark, who had no weapons of his own, would still be alive today.
  • Wed, 11:34: @llHYDROll @broglund correct, but if you listened to the announcement for #JamarClark, his alleged grip on the officer's gun escalated it.
  • Wed, 15:51: Some of the stories I hear from parents and teachers in my school district terrify me. A couple years, yet, til we get there. But still.
