Violent protests continued in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota for a third night as demonstrators clashed with police following the apparent accidental death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright.

On Tuesday, more than 1,000 protesters gathered outside the city’s police station, which is now guarded with concrete barriers and a large metal fence. Police declared the protest an “unlawful assembly” and ordered the crowds to disperse.

During a press briefing later that day, Minnesota State Patrol Col. Matt Langer said more than 60 protestors were arrested for inciting riots and “other criminal behavior.” He stressed law enforcement will not tolerate these types of violent and dangerous demonstrations.

Yeah, I don’t see it as an intentional shoot - but this display of poor training, poor leadership and incompetence could not have come at a worse time. I think something is horribly wrong with police training and leadership up in the Minneapolis region - and they’re retaining poor officers like Noor (from the Justine Damond shooting) and Potter. I would like to see an honest post-mortem on how Potter was allowed on the streets with this low a level of competency and how she somehow managed to serve 26 years like this.

“Like the shooter at the Capitol?”

Based on the video I saw, the shooter of Ashli Babbitt should be charged with second degree murder.

The account I've heard suggests that she made a mistake. "S***,I just shot him" were her words IIRC. Assuming she had been a decent,respectable cop in the past (few,if any,believable complaints...few,if any,disciplinary problems) then this could be said to be a "horribly tragic accident".

Years ago Chris Rock did a skit for his TV show called "How Not To Get Your A$$ Kicked By The Police". It's still all over youtube. Long story short it gives *very* good advice to *everyone*...young,old,male,female,white,black...to not be stupid when dealing with the cops.

The dead kid was a filthy punk...there was an arrest warrant on him for holding a woman at gunpoint while trying to rob her. If he hadn't acted like a filthy punk during that stop he'd still be alive.

I think I detect a pattern here. How about you?

I'm pretty sure that the urban amish community has been emboldened to resist any authority in the current political climate.

"Filthy punk" is very likely the norm rather than the exception.
