(KNSI) Police and protesters clashed for the second night in a row as tensions flared following the fatal officer-involved shooting of Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center Sunday afternoon.
About 40 arrests were made overnight as a 7:00 p.m. curfew went into place but was ignored by hundreds as bottles, rocks, concrete chunks, fireworks, and frozen cans of pop were hurled at officers as they held the line against the angry mob that had shown up at the Brooklyn Center Police Department.
Minnesota State Patrol Colonel Matt Langer says law enforcement showed amazing restraint under the conditions.
“The troopers and the officers, deputies and conservation officers stood and protected that building courageously and bravely and were shelled pretty significantly with objects by the crowd.”
