Protest for Daunte Wright Sentencing at Hennepin County Courthouse

Protestors gathered outside the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis on December 23, 2021, to advocate for justice in the sentencing of former police officer Kim Potter. Potter was convicted of manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, a Black man, during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, in April 2021. The protest, held on the day of Potter's sentencing, underscored ongoing concerns about police brutality and racial injustice within the American justice system. Signs displayed at the protest included portraits of Daunte Wright and Nina Simone, alongside messages demanding accountability and an end to police violence.
