More than 300 people entered a north Minneapolis church in small groups and singly for Clark’s funeral. The Shiloh Temple International Ministries is about a mile from the police station where protesters have gathered since Clark’s shooting and near where Clark was shot.

Some at the funeral wore white T-shirts with “I matter” on the front or T-shirts with Clark’s photo, while others were dressed formally. Most bowed their heads as they walked through the glass doors to attend two hours of visitation before the noon funeral began.

Before the funeral three reported white supremacists  people were arrested for shooting into the crowd of protestes, shooting five people. They were Nathan Gustavsson, 21, of Hermantown; Daniel Macey, 26, of Pine City; and Allen Lawrence “Lance” Scarsella III, 23, of Lakeville. The three were being escorted from the protest by Black Lives Matter but as they were do so, the shooting occurred.  Because of the shooting the Clark family urged protesters to end their encampment at the police station, but some have refused. “Protesters refused the pleas by the Clark family and others to end their sit-in. Protesters said a Monday night shooting and injuring of five of them convinced them to continue their action.”

The Guardian reports that at the funeral calls for justice could be heard for Jamar: “James Hill, Clark’s eldest brother, told the mourners at the Shiloh Temple church on Wednesday that Mayor Betsy Hodges had sent a note expressing her condolences, and apologising for her absence. ‘I’ve got one message for her,” he said. “We don’t want her to overdo her job. We don’t want her to underdo her job. We just want her to do her job. If she’s for this city, justice will be found.’” Jamar Clark Funeral Guardian snip

Protesters lined the streets, fists raised in salute, as the cars stopped for several minutes, horns honking. As they drove away, protesters began chanting ‘ black lives matter’”.
