By Doug Glass and Steve Karnowski for The Huffington Post - MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Police on Tuesday arrested two men suspected of shooting five Black Lives Matter demonstrators, while the family of a black man whose death inspired the protests called for an end to demonstrations that have gone on for days outside a Minneapolis police station. No one suffered life-threatening wounds in Monday night's shooting, which took place about a block from the police department's 4th Precinct, where protesters have been demonstrating since the Nov. 15 death of 24-year-old Jamar Clark, who was shot by a police officer.

Rather than make arrests, Minneapolis police and State Patrol officials said they made on-the-spot decisions to keep demonstrators safe from traffic. Police who blocked traffic for protesters who shut down Interstate 35W in Minneapolis last week said they didn’t have advance warning the group planned to march down one of the state’s busiest freeways in the middle of the afternoon. About 150 demonstrators took to the freeway on Dec. 4, protesting a grand jury’s decision not to indict a police officer in the death of a black man. The group marched for 3 miles from south Minneapolis to downtown, where they entered City Hall and climbed the stairs to the offices of the City Council. The freeway was shut down for more than an hour.

Urban Warfare Training In Twin Cities

On the evening of Monday, August 18, the US Army commenced unannounced military exercises in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. MH-60 variant Black Hawk helicopters buzzed through the downtown and residential areas of the two Midwestern cities. The ominous exercises, which took place over three days, were led by the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security in close collaboration with the local police. They were carried out without public warning, despite the fact that they included late-night low flyovers of residential districts by thunderous war equipment. Hundreds of stunned residents placed emergency phone calls in the hours after exercises began as several black helicopters weaved in between skyscrapers of both cities and swept through areas at low altitudes and high speeds. It was only after the widespread response that the police and military acknowledged what was taking place. (Video of part of the exercises can be found here.) “We understand the concern and confusion these activities may have created for the public,” said St. Paul Police Department spokesman Howie Padilla as he defended the exercises.
