Teuntor, 26, of Fort Myers organized the Justice March for Daunte Wright and led three other demonstrations following the death of George Floyd, a Black Minneapolis man who died while being arrested last spring.
“I felt like all the work I’ve done hasn’t been enough,” Teuntor said. “… This stuff is still going on. It’s not that we’ve wasted our time, but we haven’t been enough.”
Wright, a father of a 2-year old boy, was pulled over by Brooklyn Center Police on April 11 for what officers say was expired car registration tags. While trying to arrest Wright for an outstanding warrant, body camera footage shows police officer Kim Potter, who is white, fatally shooting Wright in the chest.
