The Latest: Armed men provide security at Wright funeral


3:02 p.m.
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is calling for legislative change to ensure “true justice” following the police killings of Daunte Wright, George Floyd and more.
Speaking at Wright’s funeral Thursday, Klobuchar, of Minnesota, said “true justice is not done as long as Black Americans are killed by law enforcement at more than twice the rate of white Americans.”
Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, was fatally shot April 11 by a white police officer during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb.
Klobuchar called for passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which seeks to ban chokeholds and “qualified immunity” for law enforcement at the federal level.

Armed Men Provide Security At Daunte Wright Funeral


Armed Men Provide Security At Daunte Wright Funeral
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- More than a dozen men from a local security group, many with rifles, sidearms and wearing body armor, are watching over the funeral for Daunte Wright, the 20-year-old Black man killed last week in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center.
The men's patches identify them as members of the Minneapolis Freedom Fighters, a group of Black men formed last year to provide security in Minneapolis' largely Black north side neighborhoods during unrest following the death of George Floyd last year.

Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted two days ago of murder and manslaughter in Floyd's death.
