#Justice4Jamar Assailants Net Minor Charges; Camp Braces for Police Action
Disappointment could be heard from supporters of the #Justice4Jamar camp as the white supremacist group that shot five people last week drew relatively weak charges from Hennepin County prosecutor Mike Freeman on Monday morning.
Here is the criminal complaint:

For additional information: @webster has released a very large archive of social media videos collected from the aggressors including those who shot at protesters.
As winter storm Delphi arrived at the 4th Precinct, protesters braced for escalation from the Minneapolis Police Department. [LIVE video coverage here as circumstances permit]. Around 5PM, for the first time in many days, MPD configured large lights at the front door of the Precinct, pointed at the crowd, and scaffolding in the parking lot provided new perches for police to potentially overlook any attempt to sweep out the camp.

Earlier in the day, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges and others called upon campers to disperse, heavily blaming emissions from campfires. Full statement here. (Meanwhile the HERC garbage burner about a mile away continues to be one of the metro area’s leading sources of major atmospheric toxins. @snipy aptly deemed this “bullshit concern trolling” since they never usually care about local air quality.)
Here are some of the reactions from the community at the #4thPrecinctShutdown to the morning meeting which included the Mayor, Rep. Keith Ellison, clergy members and other ‘community leaders’:
The community at the #4thPrecinctShutdown, continues to be organized and steadfast, as it braves the winter conditions.
