Enraged leftists climb atop, pound on, and chase car as driver navigates through Daunte Wright street protest that Minneapolis apparently didn't sanction



A group of enraged leftists screamed bloody murder as they climbed atop, pounded on, and chased a car whose driver navigated through a Daunte Wright protest Tuesday evening that the city of Minneapolis apparently did not sanction.

What are the details?

Protesters were in the streets outside the Hennepin County courthouse in downtown Minneapolis where the trial for Kim Potter — the Brooklyn Center officer who fatally shot Wright during a traffic stop in April — has been taking place, WCCO-TV reported.

But the demonstration was interrupted when a motorist was caught on video navigating a car through the crowd — and protesters lost it.

One man climbed atop the moving car as others pounded on the vehicle and appeared to try to open the driver's side door.

Protesters repeatedly yelled out the car's license plate number as the driver briefly stopped the vehicle at a corner — with protesters chasing it down — before making a right turn and leaving the mob behind.

A crying woman said the car hit her, but WCCO said it was told no one was seriously hurt.

One woman off-camera can be heard angrily stating that "there are babies out here that are fighting for people who lost their lives."

A Minneapolis police spokesperson told KMSP-TV that the department learned of the incident after the fact via online videos. The station added that as of 6 p.m., none of the protesters had filed reports on the incident. KMSP also reported that the city apparently didn't sanction the march, and police said it's unclear what action will be taken in the case.

The police spokesperson also told the station that officers were monitoring the protest from a distance and protesters took measures to protect the group from further disruptions.

Anything else?

Tuesday was the first day of jury selection in the Potter case, with four jurors seated, WCCO reported.

Potter was charged with second-degree manslaughter and faces up to 10 years behind bars if convicted. Police said the shooting of Wright during a traffic stop was accidental and that Potter thought she was grabbing her Taser when she pulled out her gun.

Wright was reportedly pulled over for expired license plate tags — but police attempted to arrest Wright after discovering a warrant out for him over an attempted robbery charge during which he allegedly choked a woman and held her at gunpoint.

'Reimagine policing'? Mark Levin unpacks Obama's MARXIST messaging on law enforcement



Amid the cauldron of misunderstanding and finger pointing caused by the tragic death of Daunte Wright, few things are more important than putting forth a message of understanding and reconciliation. That is, unless you are Barack Obama.

Ever the politician, Obama has now released an incendiary message before all the facts of the case are known.

"Our hearts are heavy over yet another shooting of a Black man, Daunte Wright, at the hands of police. The fact that this could happen even as the city of Minneapolis is going through the trial of Derek Chauvin and reliving the heart-wrenching murder of George Floyd indicates not just how important it is to conduct a full and transparent investigation, but also just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country," Obama's statement said.

"Michelle and I grieve alongside the Wright family for their loss. We empathize with the pain that Black mothers, fathers, and children are feeling after yet another senseless tragedy. And we will continue to work with all fair-minded Americans to confront historical inequities and bring about nationwide changes that are so long overdue," the statement continued.

On the latest episode of "LevinTV," Mark Levin exposed the former president's use of Marxist catchphrases like "reimagine policing" and attempt to tie this tragedy to George Floyd's death in order to advance a racial-injustice agenda at the expense of the rule of law.

"These politicians think they need to be out front, that they need to comment before they know anything, because they are playing to the mob," Levin stated. "In my research of Marxism and Critical Race Theory, the word 'reimagine' shows up everywhere. That word has meaning. Reimagine means destroy."

"I have a different idea," he continued. "Why don't we reimagine the criminals? Why don't we reimagine people going to prison for committing crimes? Why don't we reimagine doing away with so-called bail reform that lets people out the back door? Why don't we leave the cops alone? If you have a bad cop, you focus on that cop. You're destroying law enforcement."

Levin went on to tear apart the narrative of white privilege, police blaming, and systemic racism to tell the story nobody on the Left wants to hear: the alleged violent criminal history of Daunte Wright.

Minnesota National Guard soldiers injured in drive-by shooting attack in Minneapolis



A Minnesota National Guard neighborhood security team says it was attacked early Sunday morning. Two guard members were injured from a drive-by shooting in Minneapolis, according to the Minnesota National Guard.

A neighborhood security team comprised of Minnesota National Guardsmen and Minneapolis Police Department officers were reportedly fired on around 4:19 a.m. on Sunday near Penn Avenue and Broadway Avenue in Minneapolis.

"A light-colored SUV fired several shots" at a security team involved with Operation Safety Net, a "joint effort among the Minneapolis Police Department, Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, the State of Minnesota and local jurisdictions" to "ensure the safety of the public during the trial of Derek Chauvin; committed to protecting people, property, and freedom of speech."

Two Minnesota National Guard members sustained minor injuries from the attack.

"One Guardsman sustained an injury from shattered glass requiring additional care and was taken to a local hospital to receive treatment," the Minnesota National Guard reported. "The other Guardsman received only superficial injuries."

"I am relieved to know none of our Guardsmen were seriously injured," Maj. Gen. Shawn Manke, the Adjutant General of the Minnesota National Guard, said. "This event highlights the volatility and tension in our communities right now. I ask for peace as we work through this difficult time."

In a separate incident, video posted by Alpha News shows a man verbally harassing Minnesota National Guard members in Minneapolis on Saturday.

The Minnesota National Guard will attempt to provide security during the trial of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis Police Department officer who was involved in the arrest of George Floyd, who died in police custody last May. Chauvin has been charged with second and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of Floyd. The trial is expected to reach a conclusion this week, and many expect widespread violence and riots in Minneapolis if Chauvin is not convicted.

The Minnesota National Guard attack happened hours after Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) told protesters "get more confrontational" if Chauvin is not found guilty of murder.

With the concern of violence because of the Chauvin trial verdict, Minneapolis Public Schools decided to not hold in-person learning from Wednesday to Friday, April 21 through 23.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) told WCCO-TV, "The verdict is going to be a pivotal point in our state's history, and how we respond to that is going to shape us."
