٠٠:٠٢:٠٨Law enforcement faced off with demonstrators near the Brooklyn Center Police HQ on Tuesday as protests continued over the shooting of Daunte Wright.
Demonstrators formed a wall of umbrellas as flashbang-like projectiles were detonated in a bid to disperse the crowd.
Police officers also issued warnings via loudspeaker calling on protesters and media to leave the area amid the start of a curfew instituted to prevent any violence.
Wright, a 20 year old Black man, 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 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.
