Jamar (Clark) Burns-Hill was killed by police in Minneapolis, MN on November 15, 2015. At the age of 24, witnesses said Jamar was complying with officers before he was thrown to the ground and killed. Jamar’s mother Irma Burns and sister Tiffany Roberson give an exclusive recount on who he was before that tragic day.

They walked up to him, they put him in this choke hold, slammed him on the ground, and shot him in the face. CHIME #2 (skip ahead 1 minute 40 seconds) When my mom got there, they still wouldn’t tell us where he was. I was getting ready to go up under the tape and he stopped me. I’m like, “I’m looking for my son, his name’s Jamar. They say he just got shot. Where is he? Where is he? Where is he. And the police say, “I can’t tell you that.” By this time there’s a lot of people out there. (SOUNDS FROM THE SCENE) And she pled, my mom was near getting on her knees to ask them, "Please, tell me where my son is. Please. Why won't you?" "What do you mean?" I'm like, "That's my baby. What are you talking about? My son, he's just been shot. You got to tell me." And everybody now is getting ready to riot now.

Jamar’s family, along with activists Jess Sundin and Loretta VanPelt speak about Jamar’s untimely death, the petition to reopen his case, and how their lawyer prophetically warned Minneapolis in 2019 that if another unarmed Black person was killed by police, the city would explode. CALL TO ACTION: Sign Petition to demand community control of the police - https://sites.google.com/view/tcc4j/home Donate to Families - https://gf.me/u/yk5y4f RESOURCES: ·     Project Jamar Saving Me - https://www.savingme.org/ ·     Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar - www.facebook.com/TCC4J/ ·      Families Supporting Families Against Police Violence - https://www.facebook.com/fsfapv WARNING: CHIME #1 (skip ahead 2 minutes) But nonetheless, what they say is that while he was on the ground, Ringgenberg claims that his gun had shifted on his belt. Shouldn’t have been possible, but it did. And it was directly between Jamar and him. It’s on his back. And so it’s pressed into Jamar and he says, he’s trying to keep his hand on the gun and hold it in. He says he can feel Jamar’s hand around the gun. And he started screaming to Schwarze immediately, “He’s got my gun, shoot him.” Immediately and Schwarze just starts panicking and he yells at him, “Let him go. Or I’ll fire on you. Let him go” Yeah. A few times. And continually, while this is going on, Ringgenberg is, telling him to shoot Jamar. Ultimately he puts his gun to his head and he says, “I’m going to fire.” And he claims, Schwarze he claims that Jamar said, “I’m not afraid to die” It seems unusual. This is the very first words that Jamar has said to either officer at all. It’s just an unusual first statement to make. But Schwarze, he says, “that’s what he said.” And there’s no one to say it wasn’t. Schwarze he presses his gun against his head. You’re not supposed to do that. He was excited. And under stress. That puts the gun out of chamber. If somebody has an automatic weapon pointed, it’s semiautomatic, you can press on the barrel and it’s called putting the weapon out of chamber and it won’t fire. So he pulls it and he can’t do it. So, he had to pull back. He tells Ringgenberg, “Give me a second.” And he cocks the slide to reengage the weapon. And he puts it back to his head. He says, “I’m going to fire” This time he’s warning Ringgenberg. And he fires. And then at that point, they get out from under him. The press made a big deal of the fact that they found Jamar’s DNA on the weapon. And that’s pretty stupid. I mean, he was shot with an explosive weapon at point blank range. His DNA is on everything within a 20-foot radius. CHIME #2 (skip ahead 30 seconds) There was a young man, a 10-year-old little boy that witnessed Jamar being killed, saw the shooting. He even described the smoke that came from Jamar’s face after being killed. Usually he’ll come to the tree for the anniversary and birthday. Last year, he didn’t, so I believe his mom moved. But he makes it his business to come and give us a hug and just be there, I think about him a lot.

Robbie Tolan was shot by police in Bellaire, TX on December 31, 2008. At the age of 23, he was shot by police while in his own driveway, and in front of his cousin & parents, after officers mistakenly thought Robbie had stolen his own car. Robbie is one of the few people who lived to tell his own story. CALL TO ACTION: Donate to Families - https://gf.me/u/yk5y4f Donate to the Tolan Family- $Mr1231 WARNING: CHIME # 1 (skip ahead 2 minutes 40 seconds) Kind of almost dragged her over to the garage door and kind of threw her up against the garage door. He threw me against the garage door. And when he did that, Robbie pushed up and. And I lost it. I hopped up and said, "Get your fucking hands off my mom". And he didn't say a word. He never said, "Stay down. Get back down." Nothing. He pulled his gun. And I mean it was like slow motion almost. I remember, it really was like slow motion. Because I remember seeing him draw his gun and I was like, "He's not going to shoot me. He's not going to shoot me". And then the gun went off and I was like, "He didn't shoot me. He didn't shoot me". And then I started feeling this pressure, and fell back against the front door and collapsed. It was all slow motion. I saw the red, the fire from the gun because he shot him right in front of me. He was standing to my left and shot across me. So I saw the fire from the gun. And then I heard Robbie say, "Oh God." And then I knew he was hit. You could see smoke coming from his chest. For whatever reason in my little cartoon brain, I was thinking, "Well, maybe it was a rubber bullet". "That wasn't real", just in disbelief. And so I was laying on the ground and I put my hand up under my shirt and I pulled it out, and it was dripping in blood. Just covered, blood running down my forearm. And my mom said something like, "Oh my God, I can see smoke coming from his chest", or something. And the cop, real calmly said, "Ma'am, that's just the bullet tearing through the fibers of his shirt. Calm down, it's not a big deal". Well, I guess my knees gave out because I... My hands were still up and I slid against the garage door, down. And I said, I said, "Robbie call the name of Jesus." And I started praying. Just started praying, praying because I wanted him to hear me. I wanted him to be focused on my voice and I wanted him to pray. And I just said, "Call His name. Say His name. Call the name of Jesus." Like screaming, praying loudly, loud enough to where I would hear, but she started praying and they kept telling her to be quiet.  RESOURCES: - Buy Robbie's book "No Justice" - https://www.robbietolan.com/  Book Robbie to speak - https://www.robbietolan.com/  Book Robbie to DJ - https://www.robbietolan.com/ dcpofficial.com/robbie-tolan CREDITS: Host: Adell Coleman & Chris Colbert Executive Producers: Adell Coleman & Chris Colbert Edited & Sound Design: Byron Hunt Producers: Jacqueline Garofano and Ryan Woodhall Associate Producers: Maria Beckett & Quinton Hill Content Distribution: DCP Entertainment  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
