Rep. Raymond Dehn's Statement on the Anniversary of Jamar Clark Shooting

Tuesday, November 15, 2016

SAINT PAUL, MN – One year has past since the tragic shooting of Jamar Clark in North Minneapolis.

Rep. Raymond Dehn (DFL-Minneapolis) released the following statement:

“Although time elapsed the pain is still raw from the shooting from one year ago. I share my condolences with Jamar Clark’s family and wish them healing and strength. More steps need to be taken to protect every son and daughter in our community. Nowhere in our communities should an unarmed person be shot moments after officers arrive to a scene.

“We can and we must do better. As a legislator, I’m fully committed to this objective and look forward to working alongside citizens, especially those from communities of color, to do whatever I can to make this happen.”
