Saturday’s\u00a0rally followed a week of demonstrations in Brooklyn Center, Minn., where Daunte Wright was shot and killed by police
Detroit — About 200 people gathered in Clark Park on the city’s southwest side Saturday to protest against what they say is the latest example of an ongoing onslaught against Black citizens by White police officers. Saturday’s rally followed a week of demonstrations in Brooklyn Center, Minn., where on Sunday, White former police officer Kim Potter fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who is Black. Potter reportedly mistook her pistol for her Taser and fired a single shot after body-worn camera shows Wright struggling with the officers who were trying to arrest him. Potter has been charged with second-degree manslaughter. «There’s a lot of emotions right now,» said Sammie Lewis, a member of Detroit Will Breathe, which, along with the Palestinian Youth Movement, Cosecha Detroit and WWN Detroit, organized Saturday’s demonstration. «I’m so angry, and I don’t know what to do with that anger,» Lewis said.
