Minneapolis police clear out 4th precinct where protesters are camped.
Throughout the night, Minneapolis police claimed, via Twitter, that chemical irritant was dispersed by protesters as they attempted to take down the tarp that separated police from demonstrators. Those on the ground, however, denied the claim, posting photographs and videos of police unleashing the irritant on the crowds.
"They are killing us" cried 10-year-old Ze’Morion Dillon-Hokin an eyewitness to the murder of Jamar Clark who was shot a few yards from his front door.
The shutdown, attended by nearly 300 protesters, began at 7:00 p.m. In the end, 43 adults and eight juveniles were arrested and charged with unlawful assembly and pedestrian on the freeway, the state patrol confirmed.
