With tensions high between police and the public in the middle of the Derek Chauvin trial, police shot and killed a Black man during a traffic stop on Sunday afternoon.
TeeRoy s 2 Cents:
Police need to rethink their way of policing.
We shouldn t jump to conclusion, but it seems we ve heard this story before.
According to relatives of 20-year-old
Daunte Wright, he drove for a short time before he was shot and crashed the vehicle. He died at the scene. Police say he was stopped for an outstanding warrant and was ordered out of his car, but he ignored officers commands and attempted to drive away. An officer opened fire and shot Wright, but he was able to drive several block before crashing the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A female passenger in the car was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

TeeRoy s 2 Cents:
Wright was pulled over for allegedly having an air freshener hanging from his rear-view mirror, which is against the law in Minnesota.
That s kind of like
George Floyd, who was apprehended for allegedly passing a fake $20.
Police need to back off these minor infractions that escalate and end in someone s death.
Sunday s shooting took place approximately 14 miles from where Floyd was killed.
On Monday, President
Joe Biden called for peace and calm following what he called the tragic deadly police shooting of
Daunte Wright in Minneapolis.
Responding to Wright s death on Sunday, Biden told reporters at the White House, I haven t called Daunte Wright s family, but my prayers are with the family. It s really a tragic thing that happened. The question is, was it an accident? Was it intentional? That remains to be determined by a full-blown investigation. He went on to describe the body-cam footage of the incident as fairly graphic.
