A fatal police shooting during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, sparked protests and demonstrations just miles away from where George Floyd was killed last year. The driver, identified as Daunte Wright, had a warrant and got back into the vehicle as officers were trying to take him into custody. Details are sketchy, but he was shot after attempting to elude and crashed out.
\nThe ensuing riot was completely predictable.

By Lee Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n The National Guard was deployed in Minneapolis as hundreds of people looted and rioted into the early hours Monday after a black man was shot dead while trying to flee arrest less than 10 miles from where George Floyd died.<\/p>\n The fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center came as the Twin Cities was already in a state of high alert over the trial of ex-cop Derek Chauvin, charged with Floyd\u2019s murder last May.<\/p>\n Wright, who had an outstanding warrant, had been pulled over around 2 p.m. Sunday \u2014 and was shot after jumping back in his car and trying to race away, crashing to a stop after driving several blocks, police said.<\/p>\n His mother had quickly raced to the scene \u2014 and called for calm as crowds soon joined her there, local media said.<\/p>\n But within hours, at least 500 protesters had taken to the streets, according to the Star Tribune \u2014 many looting and trashing up to at least 20 stores, officials later revealed.<\/p>\n \u201cHey! They\u2019re coming!\u201d a man was heard yelling on one video that captured several people running out of a looted store with their hands full of stolen items as nearby car horns repeatedly honked. Other videos appeared to show groups doing victory dances as they left completely trashed stores.<\/p>\n As many carried Black Lives Matter banners through the streets, protesters jumped on top of police vehicles \u2014 and started throwing rocks and other projectiles at officers, officials said.<\/p>\n Protesters even \u201cshot up\u201d a police precinct in neighboring Brooklyn Park, with multiple rounds fired through the front door, some reaching the lobby, officials told Fox 9. No one was injured in the attack.<\/p>\n Police fought back against the violent protesters with tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Expect much more of this at the conclusion of the Chauvin trial, regardless of the jury’s findings.
