Brooklyn Center City Manager Curt Boganey was fired, Monday, after suggesting that the police officer involved in the shooting death of Daunte Wright should be afforded due process before being fired from her job, contradicting Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott, and, it seems, after the city council expressed fear that the manager’s “due process” comments would spark further violence.

Wright was shot and killed during an interaction with police in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. According to a press conference held Monday, the officer who allegedly drew her service weapon and shot Wright, who at that time appeared to be resisting arrest, did so by accident, mistaking the gun for her taser.
