The Shooting of Daunte Wright – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

Almost on cue, peaceful protests also devolved into street chaos. On Monday night protesters looted businesses, and police arrested some 40 people in Brooklyn Center and 13 in Minneapolis. Rioters in Portland and Seattle used the shooting as an excuse for violence.

Credit President Biden for encouraging forbearance. Was it an accident? Was it intentional? That remains to be determined, he said Monday, adding that while peaceful protest is understandable, there is absolutely no justification for violence. The bedlam in Brooklyn Center and elsewhere creates fresh injustices while resolving nothing.
