A Minneapolis police station was swarmed Sunday by protestors after yet another fatal traffic stop. Hours after police fatally shot 20-year-old Black man Daunte Wright in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center, hundreds of protestors gathered, leading police to fire tear gas and the city to implement an overnight curfew.
In the wake of the unrest, businesses at a local mall were left to wonder when their community will see peace, according to a report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Tensions remain high in Minneapolis as Derek Chauvin’s trial continues, with some protestors arriving to the scene after a demonstration against police violence. While the protests were mostly peaceful, video captured some at the scene jumping on a squad car and one man attempting to throw a concrete brick. Video also captured many who seemingly were bystanders.
