Minneapolis: High-ranking Congress member Maxine Waters called for an overhaul of policing in the United States as she joined the seventh consecutive night of protests in a Minneapolis suburb over the death of Daunte Wright, a young black man shot dead by a white policewoman.
The 20-year-old was killed during what should have been a routine traffic stop, sparking anger and fresh protests against police brutality and racial injustice.
“Policing has got to be changed,” Waters, chair of the House Committee on Financial Services, said Saturday shortly before the 11 pm curfew.
