Welcome toThe Independent’s rolling coverage of the unrest in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright by former police officer Kim Potter during a traffic stop.

Prosecutors expect to decide today whether to charge the white former Brooklyn Center police officer in the shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, a Black man, during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb.

Kim Potter and Police Chief Tim Gannon resigned on Tuesday, two days after Ms Potter shot Mr Wright. Mr Gannon has said he believed Ms Potter mistakenly grabbed her pistol when she was trying to pull out her Taser.

Washington County Attorney Pete Orput told WCCO-AM that he had received information on the case from state investigators and hoped to have a charging decision on Wednesday.

Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has condemned the “indefensible system” that she says led to the shooting of Daunte Wright.

In a post on Twitter late on Tuesday, AOC insisted: “Daunte Wright’s killing was not a random, disconnected ‘accident’.”

She said the shooting was “the repeated outcome of an indefensible system that grants impunity for state violence” and “rewards it” with “endlessly growing budgets at the cost of community investment.”

The New York representative added: “Cameras, chokehold bans, ‘retraining’ funds, and similar reform measures do not ultimately solve what is a systemic problem.”

Police and protesters clashed for the third night in a row on Tuesday night, with hundreds of demonstrators gathering again at Brooklyn Center’s heavily guarded police headquarters.

The headquarters is now ringed by concrete barriers and a tall metal fence, with police in riot gear and National Guard soldiers standing watch.

State police announced over a loudspeaker around 90 minutes before a 10pm curfew, that the gathering had been declared unlawful and ordered the crowds to disperse.

Protesters were seen launching fireworks toward the station and throwing objects at police, who launched flashbangs and gas grenades, and then marched in a line to force back the crowd.

The state police said the dispersal order came before the curfew because protesters were trying to take down the fencing and throwing rocks at police.

The number of protesters dropped rapidly over the next hour, until only a few remained. Police also ordered all media to leave the scene.

Chief of the Minnesota State Patrol Matt Langer told CNN the unified command in Brooklyn Center made “upwards of 60 arrests” on Tuesday night, many of which were for “riot and other criminal behaviors.”
