Cops declare Minneapolis protests unlawful as they clash with demonstrators outside of police station after the boarded-up home of cop Kimberly Potter who shot Daunte Wright dead was targeted
2021-04-14
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Cop Kimberly Potter is said to have confused her gun for a taser when she shot at Daunte Wright Sunday

  • Her home was barricaded up Tuesday after a police source said that they anticipate protests there

  • Curfews are in place for Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis, St. Paul and surrounding areas from 10pm local time

  • About 90 minutes before the curfew deadline, state police announced over a loudspeaker that the gathering outside the Brooklyn Center police station had been declared unlawful and ordered the crowds to disperse

  • Cops used pepper spray and flash bombs to try to disperse the crowd; protesters used umbrellas as shields

  • Wright's killing, just 10 miles from the scene of George Floyd's death last May in Minneapolis, has led to unrest in Minnesota and nationwide; the trial of Derek Chauvin, charged in Floyd's death, is ongoing in the city

  • Protests also broke out overnight Tuesday in New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Portland and Seattle

BLM's Latest Martyred Saint: Daunte Wright Had A Warrant Out For His Arrest For Attempted Aggravated Robbery Charges After 'choking And Holding A Woman At Gunpoint For $820 In 2019
[Daily Mail, etc]
  • Daunte Wright was shot dead by Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kimberly Potter Sunday after he was pulled over for 'expired license plate tags'

  • DailyMail.com can reveal that Wright, 20, had a warrant out for his arrest for attempted aggravated robbery charges at the time

  • Charging papers allege Wright and a second man, Emajay Driver, attended a party in December 2019 at the home of two women in Osseo, Minnesota

  • The women allowed the pair to crash after they said they didn't have a ride home

  • The next morning, after one of the women went to withdraw $820 in rent money, Wright allegedly held her at gunpoint and demanded she give him the cash

  • His bail was originally set at $100k with orders that he should not contact the victim or any witnesses, refrain from drugs and alcohol and not have any weapon

  • It was revoked in July last year due to his 'failure to not possess a firearm or ammunition' and not keeping in touch with his probation officer

  • DailyMail.com has also learned that online speculation that Wright did not know there was a warrant out for his arrest is false

#13  We should also have 3 violent felonies and yer out. Not life in prison, taken out back and shot, put in the gas chamber, the mulcher, whatever.

#12  Well, I think the penalty for "driving away" should be arrest later by a SWAT outfit and piled on charges. I think people who refuse to obey cops need shot, but that's not the society we live in, nor should we want to.

Think about "high speed chases" and how often innocent people are killed during same. Negative ROI, should never happen. The cops do have radios, helicopters, etc.

All that instant, chaotic pushback against police resistance is getting us is George Floyd trials and riots. What's that line about "Same thing over and over, hoping for a different outcome next time?"

#11  I wonder what the charges will be.

Minnesota cop who shot dead Daunte Wright, 20, will be charged with second-degree manslaughter and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted

#10  In other police shooting news authorities still have not identified or pressed charges against the shooter of Ashli Babbit

#9  It's going to get to the point where police officers won't dare to try to arrest a black man.

If there are any police officers, that is.

I wonder what the charges will be. Negligent homicide? Manslaughter? Tallib has already convicted her of Murder 1.

Give this some thought.

Who released the cops address to the protestors?
Usually that's close hold info for this type reason.
A neighbor would have to be a idiot to do so because of the collateral damage likely to occur to surrounding properties. So is it City Hall and HR?


BTW: Whats the "Just 10 miles away" have to do with this?

OTHER than MEDIA trying to tie the 2 incidents together for additional INCITEMENT & Violence.

#3  I wonder how many cops got shot dead because they've (mistakenly) pulled a taser instead of a gun?

#2  Love this:

“Get the white people to the front!” #BLM protesters demand that whites be used as human shields as they gather outside the Brooklyn Center police station. They’ve been trying to break down the fence & are throwing projectiles. #antifa pic.twitter.com/2gW7bGK6lq
