Police clashed with protesters for a second night Monday in Brooklyn Center, a Minneapolis suburb. Authorities there say an officer who fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright on Sunday apparently intended to fire a Taser, not a handgun.
As events related to the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by a now-former Minnesota police officer and the trial of another former officer charged in the death of another unarmed black man play out hundreds of miles away, Northwest Indiana law enforcement leaders and activists are paying close attention.
The fatal shooting of Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center came during the nearby trial for an officer charged in George Floyd s death.Â
