Protesters have gathered Friday outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department for a sixth night after the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright.
Former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter fatally shot Wright during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon. Potter has since resigned from the department and has been charged with second-degree manslaughter.
6:00 p.m.
A KSTP reporter at the scene estimates 200 people are already outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department. The protesters are up against the fence and chanting, but it has been a peaceful assembly so far.
Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott announced this evening that he will change course and not impose a citywide curfew Friday night. The most recent curfew went into effect Thursday at 10 p.m., but law enforcement did not issue any dispersal orders even as protesters remained outside the police department well after 11 p.m.
Much like the Derek Chauvin case, the families are having press conferences and bitching that the charges aren’t severe enough.
Do they want an acquittal?
What they want is a lynching. They want to dismember that officer on the street outside the jail. Some day that is going to happen.
“Do they want an acquittal?”
They’re too stupid to realize that over charging could lead to an acquittal.
Their lawyers should tell them to put a sock in it for their own sake.
Refresh the link. There’s a live aerial feed on You Tube.
There’s an unrelated Live on Patrol in St. Paul but they say they may be driving over to Minneapolis later.

They also say a citizen journalist named Mercado is broadcasting on Youtube.
Looks like they tried to breach the fence around the precinct.
Followed by flash bangs, non-lethal projectiles, National Guard and State Troopers.
And running. Lots of running!
A massive crowd in Chicago. It’s all a warm up for next week.
Emergency curfew just declared at 11 local time.
