Earlier this month, 20-year-old Daunte Wright was shot by now ex-police officer Kim Potter in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. In the nights following his murder (which happened while a trial was underway for another onetime Minnesota police officer, Derek Chauvin, who murdered George Floyd), protestors rallied outside the city s police department demanding justice for the late father. Minnesota National Guard members and State Patrol troopers were called to the scene where they fired tear gas, rubber bullets, and other projectiles into the crowd. Arrests were also made some nights over 100 protestors were taken into custody.
Potter, who had been a member of the Brooklyn Center Police Department for 26 years, doesn t live in that city, however: Her home is located about 15 minutes away in Champlin, Minnesota, where it received quite the security upgrade last Tuesday.
