On the afternoon of April 4, a 11-year-old African-American boy, Daunte Wright, was shot and killed by a local police officer, Kim Potter, in Minnesota, USA.
It is understood that the incident occurred near the Brooklyn Center in Minnesota.At that time, Wright, who was driving, was intercepted by a police car and ordered to get off.
Perhaps because Wright had a criminal record of robbery and was carrying an arrest warrant, Wright suddenly resisted arrest, broke free and returned to the cab during a police search.
In the chaos, Police Porter mistakenly used the pistol for a stun gun and shot Wright in the chest.After being shot, Wright still wanted to drive away, but hit an obstacle and died on the spot.
The policeman who fired was charged with second-degree murder.
Subsequently, the incident triggered large-scale protests in the local area. Some people threw stones near Brooklyn Center and about 20 businesses were broken into illegally.
The state of Minnesota was almost messed up, so that a curfew had to be issued.
Not only that, after two or three days of fermentation, the matter aroused widespread concern across the United States. Many people angrily attacked the black lads who lost their lives, but some chose to support the police.
According to ABC7 News, this wave of large-scale riots is likely to spread to Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles police have learned from the Freud incident last year and are already prepared to deal with the "Black Lives Matter" riots that may occur at any time.
The Los Angeles County Police Department has prepared truncheons, helmets and other protective equipment,And also requested support from the National Guard.
At the press conference, the police department spokesperson John Satterfield said that the police department is discussing emergency plans with the National Guard. If the protest becomes violent or illegal, then we must act quickly to maintain Order and protect the lives and property of all people.
The chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, Michel Moore, called on everyone to demonstrate peacefully and not to turn the protest into violence.
At the same time, a large-scale protest march has taken place in Huntington Beach and Orange County. This march is organized by multiple anti-racism organizations and the theme is "White Lives Matter".
According to police descriptions, the illegal demonstrations in Huntington Beach gathered about 500 people, some of them waving American flags, some carrying weapons, and others fighting and shoving in public.
In the end, a total of 12 people were arrested by the police.
It is always necessary to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and riots in Los Angeles can happen at any time.
I hope everyone must pay attention to safety when going out recently and try to avoid crowded places.
