A group of protesters pushed, shoved, and screamed at members of the media outside Minneapolis Monday night after a 20-year-old man was shot and killed by police Sunday afternoon.
“They’re firing tear gas at our homes!” yelled one resident.
“Take it easy, please!” pleaded a reporter with MSNBC. “We want to tell the world what’s going on out here!”
“You’re not welcome here!” screamed another local to the journalist. “Go home! Get the F*** Out!”
Minneapolis witnessed a second night of clashes between police and rioters Monday evening following the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright just miles away.
“Hundreds gathered outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department Monday and defied curfew. They demanded justice for Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man fatally shot by police during a traffic stop,” reports Fox News.
“Authorities fired tear gas, and flash-bang grenades into the crowd after warning them that they were in violation of curfew. Some rioters retaliated by throwing smoke canisters back toward law enforcement, while others launched fireworks at the police lines, according to reports,” adds Fox.
“Move back!” the police chanted. “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” the crowd yelled back.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz imposed a 7PM curfew for Minneapolis Monday afternoon; deploying the National Guard to impose law and order.
Prayers are not enough. Daunte Wright should still be with us. While an investigation is underway, our nation needs justice and healing, and Daunte’s family needs to know why their child is dead—they deserve answers.
