A man died after being shot by police in a Minneapolis suburb, prompting protests in a city already on edge during the trial of a former police officer in the killing of George Floyd. The family identified the man as 20-year-old Daunte Wright.

It pure rubbish for the officer to make a wild claim that he had intended to use a Taser. He can tell that to the devil.

'A man died after being shot by police' is an odd way of saying, 'police kill a man.'

Dear Law Enforcement, If you don't like the protests over police-shooting victims, MAYBE STOP SHOOTING PEOPLE. I'm not saying it'll definitely work, but you've never tried it before. Call it an experiment and see what happens.

A criminal with an arrest warrant dies resisting arrest. Do we not see a pattern here? If you are a criminal with an arrest warrant and you resist arrest, you may end up dead. If that happens, don't blame anyone but yourself!!

AskAKorean Is this picture from the traffic stop?

*An unarmed black man was murdered after being gunned down by racist police in a Minneapolis suburb, prompting protests in a city already on edge during the trial of a former, racist murdering police officer* I fixed it for you.

And the government officials who have the power to stop this continue to sit back, watch, and pass useless 'reform' (MD) to make themselves look like they care. They don't. The US policing system was built by racist to be racist and nothing has changed. slavepatrol2021 stop

Riot now, facts later.

So he killed himself in a car crash whilst endangering other people?

Protests erupt in Minnesota after fatal police shooting of Black manA fatal police shooting of a Black man during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, sparked protests and demonstrations just miles away from where George Floyd was killed last year.

Non-racist, professional cops still occasionally have just cause to kill. The truth matters.
