MPD: Officers involved in Jamar Clark shooting will not be disciplined

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (KMSP) - Minneapolis police announced the two officers involved in the shooting death of Jamar Clark will not be disciplined.

Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze will not face disciplinary action following the internal affairs investigation. 

In a press conference, Chief Harteau said, "we have concluded there were no violations of Minneapolis Police Department policies."

Mayor Betsy Hodges said she trusts the thorough process and Harteau's judgement. "This has been a painful time for Jamar Clark's family, the city, the officers and the entire community." Hodges said.

The city of Minneapolis will hold a town hall-style conference call listening session with the community Friday at 7 p.m. Anyone interested in listening or participating should call 785-424-1675 or 888-632-3384 (toll free) 5 or 10 minutes before the call and use conference ID 50417. The city says callers will be asked to identify themselves prior to joining the call.

On Nov. 15, 2015 Jamar Clark, 24, was shot by Minneapolis police outside of an apartment on the 1600 block of Plymouth Avenue N. Officers were responding to a request for assistance from paramedics who reported that Clark was disrupting their ability to aid an assault victim.

In March, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office announced that no charges will be filed against the officers involved in Clark's death.

In June, the U.S. Department of Justice declined prosecution and the federal civil rights investigation concluded Clark's death was "undeniably tragic" but "evidence was insufficient to meet substantial evidentiary requirements."
