Police and protesters faced off for a third consecutive night in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, on Tuesday following the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, a Black man who was fatally shot by a white police officer over the weekend.
Former police officer Kim Potter, who apparently intended to fire a Taser, not a handgun, resigned on Tuesday, and so did Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon. The Brooklyn Center mayor said he hoped the resignations would help heal the community and lead to reconciliation after two nights of protests and unrest.
President Biden on Monday called for calm in the aftermath of a fatal police shooting of a Black man in a Minneapolis suburb shortly after the police chief there said he believed the officer involved mistakenly used a gun instead of a Taser. Biden told reporters in the Oval Office.
