“Police in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center declared protests to be an unlawful assembly Tuesday evening as demonstrations over the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright continued for a third consecutive night.
Protests were peaceful late Tuesday afternoon, but as the sun set chaos erupted at the Brooklyn Center police station. Officers used pepper spray and fired flash bombs at protesters. Water bottles and other projectiles were thrown at officers in riot gear.”

“Two days after a white officer shot dead Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop on Sunday, protests continued and people left flowers at the side of the road, in a growing makeshift memorial where he was killed.
People sobbed in the cold gusts and snow flurries, struggling to light candles that now spell out “RIP D”.
“This is nothing new. It’s been ongoing. It’s always like this,” Stacy Osagiede, 24, said when asked if she thought Wright had been profiled by race when pulled over.
Brooklyn Center is less than 15 miles from the spot where George Floyd was killed last May in south Minneapolis.”
