MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Latest on the decision to not charge Minneapolis officers in the death of Jamar Clark (all times local):

12:50 a.m.

Some community activists in Minneapolis say they don’t accept a prosecutor’s decision not to charge two police officers in the death of a 24-year-old black man.

Jamar Clark’s death in November provoked waves of protests and an 18-day encampment outside a north Minneapolis police precinct. Some people said Clark was handcuffed when he was shot by officers called to an assault in which he was a suspect.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said Wednesday that evidence showed Clark was not handcuffed and was trying to get control of an officer’s gun when he was shot.
