Last night rioting and looting broke out in Minneapolis after a black man was fatally shot by police after resisting and fleeing from police when they attempted to arrest him:
Here’s more from Fox News:
The Minnesota National Guard was activated to quell what devolved into violent demonstrations over the fatal officer-involved shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright earlier Sunday in the city of Brooklyn Center, located in Hennepin County on the border of Minneapolis.
A citywide curfew was issued by Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott until 6 a.m. CT Monday. About 500 people had gathered overnight outside of a police precinct in the city and clashed with officers.
Brooklyn Center Police did not immediately identify Wright or disclose his race, but some demonstrators who gathered near the scene waved flags and signs reading “Black Lives Matter.” On one street, written in multicolored chalk: “Justice for Daunte Wright.”
In a statement, Brooklyn Center Police said that officers had stopped an individual shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday. After determining the driver had an outstanding warrant, police tried to arrest him. But the driver reentered the vehicle and drove away, police said. An officer fired at the vehicle, striking the driver. Police said the vehicle traveled several blocks before crashing into another vehicle.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the person’s name following a preliminary autopsy and family notification, police said. A female passenger sustained nonlife-threatening injuries.
Note that Andy Ngo described the man who was fatally shot by police as a suspected gang member and posted some photos from his Facebook that show him flashing gang signs and using drugs:

He also provides additional information about Wright attempting flee from the scene in his car, suggesting he nearly killed as he drove off:
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
