It’s the last time anyone would see Jamar Clark alive.
Twenty four seconds into the video, a police officer takes down Jamar Clark putting his arm across the neck.
Beekeepers have instinctively known this all along, but a new landmark study has linked insecticide dust to damaged beehives. This is a sad but welcome confirmation of what beekeepers in Minnesota have been trying to tell the world for years now.
