The shooting death of Daunte Wright is a tragedy but it has opened a Pandora's box of issues. A couple of statements up front. Remember #1 in particular.
The Brooklyn Center mayor terminated the city manager for his statement that the police officer was entitled to due process. The mayor was ready to fire the police officer immediately but she resigned. The Mayor seized command of the Police force and then the Police Chief resigned. It's likely he would have fired by the Mayor for calling the riots that occurred after the shooting a riot. When the Chief said the word "riot" the so-called reporters challenged him on it:
Reporters strongly objected to the use of the term, “riot.” In the video tweeted by the Washington Examiner Monday, one reporter exclaims, “There was no riot.” Another shouts “Don’t do that!” Multiple other reporters joined in with those objecting to the word “riot.”From the Merriam Webster dictionary“There was,” Chief Gannon countered. “the officers that were putting themselves in harm’s way were being pelted with frozen cans of pop, they were being pelted with concrete blocks.”
The chief continued, “Yes, we had our helmets on. We had other protection gear. But an officer was injured, hit in the head with a brick … he was transported to the hospital. So, we had to make decisions, we had to disperse the crowd because we can’t allow our officers to be harmed.”
Definition of riot1a: a violent public disorder specifically : a tumultuous disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons assembled together and acting with a common intent b: public violence, tumult, or disorder
There most certainly was rioting. Not everyone is truly upset at the fatal shooting, however. The thing I cannot bring myself to understand is why some people use shootings like this as a license to vandalize and loot.

Some even appeared to be gleeful.

Response from the left was predictable and largely stupid. Joe Biden the Uniter and Healer intimated that the shooting could have been intentional. The Idiot Squad suggested that police be abolished. They flat out asserted that the shooting wasn’t an accident:
“It wasn’t an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist. Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence,” Tlaib wrote in a tweet.
Tlaib, along with her cohorts, gleefully jumps on tragedies like this to further their Communist anarchic aspirations.
Barack and Michelle Obama said that we have to “re-imagine policing.“
Kamala Harris (who still refuses to be seen at the disaster that is the Biden Border) issued a statement:

Here’s where in my opinion this all goes off the rails.
Harris wants to know why Daunte Wright is dead.
He’s dead because he initiated a terrible sequence of events which led to his accidental shooting. He’s dead because he failed to comply with a lawful police order.
That’s why he’s dead. Here’s the thing- why is all the responsibility for this fatal shooting piled on the police? What about the perp? Where is his or her responsibility?

Choosing trial by combat with the police seldom works out well.
A buck, during the rut, has better impulse control than inner city blacks.
The popular young black game of “fight and resist the cops” is dangerous. Those fights get unpredictable fast. But for some reason they think it is their right now.
The grievance industry has turned them into a bunch of resistant combative idiots. So some wind up dead, my mistake, by accident, and sometimes because it escalates that far.
I would say he is dead because no one ever had The Talk with him or if they did, he didn’t listen

Meanwhile, the officer who shot him has resigned and the city manager who wanted her to have her due process was fired by the libtard mayor of that city.
D is dead because he was raised by his parents in a cloud of hatred with the hope that someday D would provide them with a financial jackpot...
It almost always works...
It’s happened before in other places. Don’t screw with the cops and it will help.

I bet the city will pay out at least as large as the Floyd payoff

Moronic leftists. Let them all rot by themselves.
Dr. John must have great security because the brown shirts will be coming for him after the cancel culture tries to vanish him for committing truth.
Will they ever learn?
Well, certain segments must think it is so...Rearing kids without responsible parental supervision is another American pandemic.
If only we didn’t require vehicles to be registered and plates paid for.
The only time we’ll see punks doing the “hands up, don’t shoot” is at a phony protest. Otherwise, all bets are off.
