Watch: Activists Tries To Throw Massive Chunk Of Concrete At Police & Gets More than He Bargained For As Minneapolis Suburb Falls Into Chaos
Over the weekend in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota fell into chaos after a man named Daunte Wright allegedly fled from police because he had a warrant for his arrest.
The claim from #DuanteWright‘s mother & #BLM activists that he was killed by police over air fresheners is unsubstantiated. There was a warrant for his arrest. He resisted arrest & got back in the vehicle & tried to speed off. He nearly killed others during the failed escape. pic.twitter.com/nVyqPpJeyl

According to police when they attempted to arrest Wright he reentered his vehicle and an officer fired at the vehicle, striking the driver, who crashed several blocks later. Proving that he hasn’t learned a thing Gov. Tim Walz blamed police and said he was praying for Wright’s family “as our state mourns another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement.”
Shortly after the incident activists began to attack police one activists tried to throw a huge piece of concrete at officers and gets more than he bargained for.

As the suburban area fell into chaos Wright’s mother immediately requested is stop.
“All the violence, if it keeps going it’s only going to be about the violence. We need it to be about why my son got shot for no reason,” she said to a crowd near the shooting scene. “We need to make sure it’s about him and not about smashing police cars, because that’s not going to bring my son back.”
Her calls fell on deaf ears.
