“Police fired tear gas on Sunday to disperse angry protesters [sic] after an officer fatally shot a man about 10 miles from where George Floyd was killed [sic] in Minneapolis last May. The incident, which sparked protests [sic] involving more than 100 people ran late into the night. It happened with Minneapolis already on edge and midway through the trial of the first of four police officers in George Floyd´s death. Daunte Wright, 20, was shot by a Brooklyn Center police officer during a routine traffic stop. Officers pulled over Wright for a traffic violation and determined that he had an outstanding warrant. Brooklyn Center Police officers then tried to arrest him but Wright ‘re-entered the vehicle’. One officer discharged their firearm, striking him while the vehicle continued to travel for several blocks before crashing into another car - Wright died while still inside the vehicle. Protestors [sic] took to the streets while looting broke out in other parts of the city as tensions boiled over in scenes all-too-familiar from last summer's protest and subsequent riots.”
