Protesters denied interviews with us. Told me we are mainstream media and they have their own media. But they wouldn't tell me what that was

Minneapolis Seeks Civil Rights Investigation into Police Shooting of Jamar Clark (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/minneapolis-seeks-civil-rights-investigation-police-shooting-jamar-clark-n464641)
by Associated Press

Authorities have released few details about the shooting, which has angered some community members after witnesses said the man was handcuffed when he was shot. Police said their initial information showed the man, a suspect in an assault, was not handcuffed. He was taken to a hospital after the shooting, and his family says he is on life support.
...
Two officers are on paid leave, standard practice after such an incident. Police Chief Janee Harteau said the officers were not wearing body cameras, but declined to say whether squad car or surveillance video was available, citing the ongoing investigation.
...
Police said they were called to north Minneapolis around 12:45 a.m. Sunday following a report of an assault. When they arrived, a man was interfering with paramedics helping the victim, police said. Officers tried to calm him, but there was a struggle. At some point, an officer fired at least once, hitting the man, police said.
My personal opinion is that the mayor calling in Obama's InJustice department borders on - and may be - a betrayal of her police officers! And, given what happened in Ferguson, very possibly of her city's citizens.
