"I'm ready to die", isn't a green light to kill someone. It does present the fact someone doesn't care for his, or your life. #JamarClark

Despite "transparent" process no charges 4 cops who murdered #JamarClark in Minneapolis. Another reason #ReformIsNotEnough. @BlackLivesMpls

12 eyewitnesses said he was handcuffed when he was shot. That alone is enough evidence to pursue charges #JamarClark

At a minimum Officers Mike Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze should loose their jobs. #JamarClark

Kudos to #MPD for saving the state entitlement money and taking another criminal off the streets. #JamarClark

Natalie Seim The videos they showed, especially the last video was very telling. The evidence of DNA on the gun and holster is quite complelling. People need to look at the evidence. It's there.
Lisa McDowell: Very clear in the findings...sadly I still think there will be backlash from BLM...I believe the officers involved should get an apology ftom BLM due to BLM stating and demanding they be arrested
Many others focused on the what this means for Minneapolis and our judicial system.
I'm not interested in revenge, only justice. Yet I'm troubled that the #JamarClark case will not be prosecuted transparently.

Not even an indictment...
If you think our justice system isn't challenged open your eyes. #nojustice #JamarClark— BROTHER SALEH (@Afro_AvantGarde) March 30, 2016
not surprised but still devastated about no indictment for #JamarClark leaves me wondering how we can adequately change this broken system
