Daunte Wright s family members joined with community leaders Thursday in calling for more serious charges and a life sentence against the white former police officer who fatally shot him, comparing her case to the murder charge brought against a black officer who killed a white woman in nearby Minneapolis.
Former Brooklyn Center police Officer Kim Potter was charged with second-degree manslaughter in Sunday s shooting of Wright, a 20-year-old black man, during a traffic stop.
Wright s family members and protesters who have confronted police all week since his death say there s no excuse for the shooting. Unfortunately, there s never going to be justice for us, Wright s mother, Katie Wright, said at a news conference Thursday. Justice isn t even a word to me. I do want accountability.
