Trial for White Supremacist 4th Precinct Shooter

Allen "Lance" Scarsella, the white supremacist who shot five protesters at the 4th precinct occupation last year is claiming he fired in self-defense, according to court documents filed Wednesday. We all know this to be a bold faced lie as he obviously showed up armed to a peaceful protest with the intentions of antagonizing, harming, and apparently even killing protesters. This intention is further supported by a video posted by the gunmen online days before the protestors were shot. The video clearly shows the group of men brandishing at least one firearm as well as claims made by them that they were "locked and loaded". Moreover, the charges that Lance is being held on do not coincide with his actions and are, of themselves, indicative of how this system protects racists. We're asking people to pack the courtroom in order to let the judge and the world know that we the people demand justice for our brothers who were shot while they were demonstrating for justice.

Moving the Conversation Forward: Panel Discussion on Media/Community Next Steps Following Shooting of Jamar Clark

A month after the shooting of Jamar Clark by Minneapolis police, community members are still reeling as many questions about the case remain unanswered. The shooting has put the spotlight on longstanding issues between the Minneapolis Police Department and the city’s black community, racial disparities and the mainstream media’s coverage of the community.

Twin Cities Black Journalists, a chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists, seeks to gather community leaders, activists, and journalists for a panel on fostering a deeper understanding of these complex issues and steps residents, officials and the media can take. The panel discussion will be followed by a public Q&A session.

Sampling of questions

- What are stakeholders doing to move the conversation forward?

- What do you think the media has missed in covering the Jamar Clark story? What can it do better?

- How do you think we can rebuild trust between stakeholders? Police and community? Media and activists?

Moderated by Brandt Williams, MPR News senior reporter
