Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mayor Jacob Frey has declared a “state of emergency” in the city Monday night and, together with St. Paul mayor Melvin Carter, has announced a curfew, starting at 7pm, as the city braces for further riots following a police shooting in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis.
The shooting, which took place during a weekend traffic stop and left Daunte Wright dead, has reignited racial tensions and, as the Daily Wire noted Sunday night, gave rise to a wave of violence. “Hundreds” of protesters “smashed police cars, vandalized a police station, and looted businesses” in response to the shooting, leaving at least two dozen businesses damaged and injuring at least one police officer.
