National Guard deployed in Minneapolis after fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright

The National Guard was deployed in Minneapolis as hundreds of people looted and rioted into the early hours Monday after a black man was shot dead while trying to flee arrest less than 10 miles from where George Floyd died.

The fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center came as the Twin Cities was already in a state of high alert over the trial of ex-cop Derek Chauvin, charged with Floyd’s murder last May.

Wright, who had an outstanding warrant, had been pulled over around 2 p.m. Sunday — and was shot after jumping back in his car and trying to race away, crashing to a stop after driving several blocks, police said.

His mother had quickly raced to the scene — and called for calm as crowds soon joined her there, local media said.

But within hours, at least 500 protesters had taken to the streets, according to the Star Tribune — many looting and trashing up to at least 20 stores, officials later revealed.

I haven’t seen anything officially confirmed. But, I have seen some twitter chatter than he had been arrested in February on ‘aggravated robbery’ charges. It’s unclear if the outstanding warrant (possible multiple warrants, btw) were connected to that earlier arrest. It doesn’t take a great deal of imagination to see how he gets arrested, makes bail and never appears in court resulting in a new arrest warrant being issued.

Aggravated robbery is of course committing robbery with some kind of weapon, though not necessarily a firearm but could be a firearm.

Inability to tie his shoes apparently also affected.

“Just saw the video of this encounter on the news, and in this case, the police looked very very wrong.”

After everything we’ve learned about “the news” over the last few years, I hope it occurred to you that they chose to show you what they showed you precisely because it looked wrong.

If there was anything that didn’t look very very wrong, why would they show it?

I’ve noticed factory tints have been getting darker and darker.

Probably so they can reduce the capacity of the A/C system and eke out a little more gas mileage to lower the fleet average.

Listening to the presser right now. Looks like cop grabbed their firearm instead of their taser.

Apparently you missed my other post saying I had seen a different video of a different encounter. Not Daunte, but some nice black soldier in uniform being stopped by police for some non-reason. No shooting involved.

"Doing what they're supposed to be doing"

OK.

Guarding the Nation ... right ?

Against .... enemies ?

Who dat ?

You ?

Me ?

All of us ?

No one can get in, and they're being shipped to the renewed efforts by BLM and etc., that are tearing up America ... I'll give it 24 hours for it to be revealed they are protecting BLM from being mass murdered and NOT protecting the city infrastructure, private business and innocent citizens

We shall see. It’s one thing to tolerate this crap when Orange Man Bad is in the White House, quite another when the left fully owns it.

In the video I saw, the Black man was in military uniform, hands up, very polite. He was stopped on “suspicion” when driving too slow. He was not trying to get away, did not pull a weapon. Could have been selective editing by the criminal media. But if it wasn’t, the shooting seemed mistaken and very sad. Riots are another thing altogether.

That sounds like the traffic stop incident in Virginia, not this event.

#6 Foot Locker, a T-Mobile, and a New York men’s clothing store

New shoes, new cell phone, new threads and Gamestop was looted so new video games.

Some people are looking for any excuse to get new stuff.

If the criminal had not tried to get away he would be alive today.

Ho. There’s never been a shoot on here that someone or several didn’t think justified, except the white woman shot by the Somali cop.
