Editorial: We can’t let this happen again
Last week, as the world had its eyes on Minnesota for a trial that could define the future of our criminal justice system, yet another Black man was killed by a Minnesota police officer.
It happened. Again.
Last Sunday, 20-year-old Daunte Wright was killed by then-Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter during a traffic stop.
Police said Wright was pulled over for expired tags, but they later discovered he had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court. Wright’s mother, who said her son called her just before he was shot, said Wright told her that police had pulled him over because he had air fresheners hanging from his rearview mirror.

Walter Mondale, 1928-2021: A rich life devoted to public service The former U.S. vice president and son of Minnesota deserves this state s thanks for his contributions.
By EDITORIAL BOARD, Star Tribune April 19, 2021 9:03pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Walter Mondale former vice president, U.S. senator, diplomat, presidential nominee and son of Minnesota has died at age 93. To say that his life was one devoted to public service does not begin to describe all that he gave his state, his country, the world.
The son of a pastor from small-town Minnesota, Mondale served in Korea and went to law school on the GI Bill. His worldview was inclusive and expansive, and he credited his faith with imbuing in him a deep respect for all people that was to guide his life in politics.
Mondale remembered as effective policymaker, public servant
