The police shooting of Daunte Wright has sparked nights of protests and days of fast-moving case developments elisfkc2 / Flickr / CC BY-SA 2.0 For five nights in a row, protesters have gathered often with snow falling around them outside of the Brooklyn Center Police Department to chant the name Daunte Wright, whose fatal shooting during a traffic stop Sunday sparked anger in the Minneapolis area and across the nation. During the days, the local community witnessed a fast-moving series of developments as authorities sought to address the outrage. Wright’s death resonated deeply in a state with still open wounds after the deaths of two other Black men at the hands of police: Philando Castile in 2016 and George Floyd in 2020. The protests, and the nearby trial of the officer charged in Floyd’s death, have boiled over anger and reignited national conversations about policing and the use of force nationally.
