Daunte Wright, the young Black man shot by police during a traffic stop in Minnesota, was being remembered at a funeral just two days after a former police officer was convicted of murdering George Floyd. The Rev. Al Sharpton was to deliver the eulogy.

Hundreds of mourners wearing COVID-19 masks packed into Shiloh Temple International Ministries to remember Wright, a 20-year-old father of one who was shot by a police officer on April 11 in the small city of Brooklyn Center.

“What happened to Floyd happens every day in this country,” Sharpton said at the time. “It’s time for us to stand up in George’s name and say, ‘Get your knee off our neck!’”Among those attending Wright’s funeral were Valerie Castile, whose son Philando Castile died after being shot by a police officer during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb in 2016, and Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who was filmed saying “I can’t breathe” in a fatal 2014 encounter with New York City police. U.S.

Wright’s killing came amid increasing tension during the weekslong trial of Chauvin. By the day of the verdict, more than 3,000 National Guard soldiers had flooded the area, along with police, state troopers and other law enforcement officers.

How much was Sharptons fee ?

He was a violent criminal. The fact that he is dead means that statistically an innocent black person will live (until another violent black criminal kills them ).

Maybe you change your headlines to say he was attempting to evade arrest when the accident happened. That would be better summary.

Let me fix your tweet. Daunte Wright who tried to get back into the car and was shot by an officer by accident was laid to rest today. There ya go. Fixed it for you.

he was tazed with a glock...

These black shootings are not about race, but about class. Please woke up.

The reason we can’t move in from the hate for police because the media won’t allow it , they will continue to look for conflicts to push an agenda

AL is a race pimp who seeks to divide. No racist I’m the eyes of God

Daunte Wright to be eulogized at Minneapolis funeralMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Just days after guilty verdicts were handed down for the former Minneapolis police officer whose killing of George Floyd set off nationwide protests and a reckoning over racism, the family of another Black man killed by police, this time in a nearby suburb, is preparing for his Thursday funeral. Hundreds of people turned out Wednesday at Shiloh Temple International Ministries for the public viewing for 20-year-old Daunte Wright , a father of one shot by a police officer on April 11 during a traffic stop in the small city of Brooklyn Center. Friends and family members wept as they stood before Wright's open casket, which was blanketed with red roses. Inside the open casket, the young man was dressed in a jean jacket bedazzled with several red and green gem-like buttons on the lapels. The racist Al Sharpton the caption should include Hope the jury for this officer would find her guilty for murder & for lying about teaser vs. gun. This child shouldn’t even be pursued for a ticket violation just as Mr. Floyd shouldn’t be arrested for a $20 counterfeit. In both, citation 2 appear..as would 4 a white person. It should be murder with conspiracy; to provoke a riot to alter the outcome of the Chauvin trial.
