Brooklyn Center locals expressed frustration about recent looting on Tuesday, in the wake of the fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright in their city.

"People who live in this area need these stores," complained one local woman, adding that all the looting did was hurt the community.

Another resident called for an end to police brutality but said that Monday's actions were 'self-defeating' and 'pointless.'

On the night of April 12, 2021, a Dollar Tree shop and several other small businesses, some of which were reportedly minority or immigrant owned were looted and damaged.

Shops could be seen with smashed windows and daubed with graffiti, while goods and fallen shelves were scattered across the floor of another.

Business owners reportedly declined to comment on the issue amid concerns over a community backlash.

Security forces as well as a humvee could also be seen stationed outside the local police station, which remained fenced off from the public.

Wright, 20, was killed on Sunday after being pulled over for a traffic violation. A struggle ensued before he tried to get back into his car.

Wright was shot by officer Kim Potter during the incident and was later pronounced dead.

Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department subsequently announced her resignation on Tuesday, as did police chief Tim Gannon.

A police statement released on Monday said the incident was an accident, as the officer had intended to use a taser, not a gun, on Wright.

Protests and unrest have followed in the wake of the killing.
