Brooklyn Center, Minnesota Protests Night 4

In the fourth consecutive night of protests for Daunte Wright, hundreds showed up once again at the Brooklyn Center Police Department, giving speeches and occupying the streets as evening fell and another curfew (10 pm for this Wednesday night) neared.

Clashes ensued as police sprayed those getting too close to the fence, and responded to water bottles and other objects thrown at officers standing outside the station. A few unknown flaming projectiles were launched over the fence, prompting police in riot gear to fire off flash bangs at the crowd.

An unlawful assembly was declared just after 9 pm, and police fired off many rounds of non-lethal crowd control munitions at walls of umbrellas, who advanced and retreated several times before a larger line of Minnesota State troopers moved into the area. Police cleared the street in front of the station shortly after 10 pm, and an additional National Guard contingent flanking the group forced the crowd to disperse into the neighborhood. Some arrests were made by officers as they cleared the area.
