National Guard Deploys Outside Brooklyn Center Police Station

National Guard troops and law enforcement officers are stationed outside the Brooklyn Center Police Station in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. This deployment occurred in April 2021 following the death of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, who was shot and killed by Brooklyn Park Police officer Kim Potter during a traffic stop. The incident sparked widespread protests and unrest in the community, leading to the mobilization of the National Guard to assist local law enforcement.
