The response to the shooting of Jamar Clark in north Minneapolis has often been angry and defiant.

Activists have made demands very specific to the Clark case: the release of video tapes, for instance, or a federal investigation of the shooting. But the rhetoric at rallies and news conferences has also often shifted to broader themes, such as justice and systemic change.

At times, the demonstrations have had the feel of a movement.

So what's ahead for the demonstrators and other stakeholders?
