Health care workers Saturday staged a protest in front of the Brooklyn Center Police Department over the use of so-called less-lethal riot-control weapons following a week of clashes between police and civilians.
Protests over former officer Kim Potter's killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright have featured nonviolent marches and demonstrations but also brick-throwing and fireworks. Police have responded with flash-bang grenades, rubber-coated bullets, tear gas and mass arrests.
Some of those people struck by police projectiles, including a Star Tribune photojournalist, have needed emergency medical care.
Victor Ramirez, a 19-year-old who protested multiple nights, was shot Tuesday with a projectile that narrowly missed his left eye and fractured a bone.
