‘Aren’t our lives worth more?’: Daunte Wright mourned at Minneapolis funeral

Days after streets filled with people celebrating Chauvin's conviction the city held a funeral for the Black man shot by police

Two days after the streets of Minneapolis filled with people celebrating the conviction of a former police officer for murdering George Floyd, the city held a funeral on Thursday for Daunte Wright, a young Black man shot dead by police during a traffic stop.

The killing of Wright, 20, two weeks ago by a police officer who said she mistook her gun for a Taser shocked a city still reeling from Floyd's death and anxiously watching the trial of his killer, Derek Chauvin. The shooting of Wright, the father of a one-year-old boy, in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center sparked days of protests and led to dozens of arrests.
