Two white Minneapolis police officers will not face disciplinary action in the fatal shooting of Jamar Clark, a black man who police said tried to grab an officer’s gun during a struggle, the police chief said Friday. Officers Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, who were cleared of all charges in March, used deadly force appropriately and won’t be disciplined, Minneapolis Chief Janee Harteau said, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “Jamar Clark was not handcuffed, and the DNA evidence does show that Clark grabbed officer Ringgenberg’s holster and gun,” Harteau said at a news conference. “I have concluded that the use of deadly force in the line of duty was necessary to protect an officer from death or great bodily harm.”
