Protesters clashed with law enforcement in front of police headquarters in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota for a fourth straight night Wednesday in the wake of Sunday's killing of 20-year-old Black man Daunte Wright. The White former officer who shot him during a traffic stop was charged with second-degree manslaughter Wednesday.
Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran, was arrested, then released from jail a few hours later after posting $100,000 bond. Authorities said deputies, troopers and officers were "shot at Wednesday night with industrial-sized fireworks, spray paint, rocks, and other items." Twenty-four people were arrested. There were 40 arrests Monday night and 79 on Tuesday night.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
