"It goes without saying that it's devastating and heartbreaking that we're here once again to address the death of a young black man with an interaction with police." Gov Walz
"I'd like to first express my personal sympathies to the Wright family on the death of Daunte Wright yesterday
It doesn't need to be this way. We don't have to continue having these press conferences and having what may be a routine traffic stop end in a 20-year-old dead, a family devastated and a community on edge." Walz says
Walz says people should be able to use their first amendment rights - says that space needs to be held open, but says those who wish to do harm or destruction to property or put people at risk "will not be tolerated"
Walz "The next thing we can do is we can stop pretending that this is just the natural order of the universe and things happen this way." Demands legislature hold hearing on reforms that have been proven to make a difference
That angst and that trauma that people feel is exacerbated if they feel that no one is listening or there's no place to express it," Walz says
Walz calls on legislators to pass more police reform legislation. Stop pretending that police killings are “the natural order of the universe,” he says.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says “anguish cannot translate into violence.” He declares s “state of emergency” and curfew from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. in aftermath of Daunte Wright shooting by a police officer in Brooklyn Center.
St. Paul's Mayor Melvin Carter on fatal Brooklyn Center police shooting of Daunte Wright "It should never happen this many times in America... in a state that prides ourselves on humanism, that prides ourself on togetherness."
Carter calls for peace, saying we can’t honor memory of Wright by “wreaking havoc” on community.
Also means postponing of@Timberwolves and@mnwild games.
