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.
