Police shooting of Black man sparks fresh protests in US
Fresh protests broke out on Tuesday night in Minneapolis despite a curfew implemented after a police officer fatally shot 20-year-old Black man Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday. She allegedly appeared to confuse her handgun with her taser, fueling tensions in a US city already on edge because of the George Floyd murder trial.
Demonstrators shout 'Don't shoot' at the police after curfew as they protest the death of Daunte Wright, who was shot and killed by a police officer in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota on Monday.
