MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The day Daunte Wright was laid to rest, a small group of demonstrators gathered outside prosecutor Pete Orput s suburban home and, with microphones and a loudspeaker, demanded he file murder charges against the police officer who killed the 20-year-old Black motorist.
Orput, wearing a hoodie and khakis, stepped outside and attempted to explain why he had filed a manslaughter charge instead. After some arguing, Orput - visibly frustrated - finally ended it. I choose not to, Orput said of filing a murder charge. He thanked the group for being peaceful but said: I won t give in to this.
