BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. â With officer Derek Chauvin s fate still up for debate and another police shooting having occurred, the Minneapolis area continues to beg for justice as Brooklyn Center experienced protests for the second night after the killing of Daunte Wright during a traffic stop Sunday.
While these protests in honor of Wright are more peaceful so far than those that followed the death of George Floyd, the same message is within the chants of the attendees: A need for change in how the police force works and handles situations.
Brooklyn Center Police Department said officers were attempting to make a traffic stop near the 6300 block of Orchard Avenue when the shooting happened.
