Fatal stop brings fresh scrutiny to Brooklyn Center police

The 47 officers who make up the Brooklyn Center Police Department have little in common with the nearly 31,000 people they serve.
Most officers are white, while most residents are people of color. Nearly all officers are male, while the city is mostly female. And, according to Mayor Mike Elliott who in 2019 became the first person of color to lead the city not one officer lives within city limits.
Brooklyn Center in recent decades has transformed from a mostly white suburb into what is now one of the most diverse cities in Minnesota, while its police force has remained largely unchanged.
Daunte Wright is sixth person killed by Brooklyn Center police since 2012
