Radical Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) called for an end to “policing” and “incarceration” after the police shooting of Daunte Wright.

On Twitter, the congresswoman wrote, “It wasn’t an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist. Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder. No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed.”

Wright, 20, was shot and killed by a police officer on Sunday afternoon during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis, MN suburb of Brooklyn Center. According to police, Wright had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

Body camera footage reveals a struggle as a police officer attempts to handcuff Wright. One of the officers can be heard shouting “Taser! Taser! Taser!” and an officer shoots from a handgun and says “Holy sh*t! I shot him.”

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said yesterday the officer who shot Wright had intended to fire their Taser, not their gun and described the incident as an “accidental discharge.”

The Minneapolis suburb has now suffered a second night of riots and looting since the shooting, and numerous arrests have been made.
