BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (FOX 9) - Videos show a Brooklyn Center police officer grabbing the wrist of Daunte Wright's mother while she was recording a traffic stop Wednesday evening.Katie Wright, the mother of the 20-year-old fatally shot by Brooklyn Center police during a traffic stop last April, says she pulled over on the shoulder of Highway 252 to take video after seeing a large police presence around a single vehicle across the median on the other side of the highway.She began live streaming on Facebook from her phone, showing multiple police cars with lights activated on the shoulder as cars passed by.

In the 12-minute live stream, a Brooklyn Center police officer is seen crossing three lanes on the highway, climbing over the highway barrier lines, and approaching Wright.The first three minutes of the Facebook live stream do not have audio because Wright says she was connected to her car's Bluetooth and on the phone with Toshira Garraway, an activist in the Twin Cities.

After the encounter, Wright talks about the events in her car.Wright, along with Garraway and other activists, held a news conference Thursday afternoon demanding the officer be fired by Brooklyn Center."I was not breaking the law," Wright said. "I was only doing what was right and what everybody else should do.

And I'm standing here today because I don't want a police officer like that patrolling our community. He escalated a situation that didn't need to be escalated."Katie Wright recorded the incident on May 4, 2022 involving police.

Biden calls for tougher gun laws following series of mass shootings: 'How much more carnage?'
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden delivered an impassioned plea to Congress to act on gun control Thursday night in an address to the nation, calling on lawmakers to restore limits on the sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines after a string of mass shootings in the country.Speaking at the White House, Biden sought to drive up pressure on Congress to pass stricter gun limits after such efforts failed following past attacks."How much more carnage are we willing to accept," Biden said after last week's shootings by an 18-year-old gunman, who killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and another attack on Wednesday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a gunman shot and killed four people and himself at a medical office.And those came after the May 14 assault in Buffalo, New York, where a white 18-year-old wearing military gear and livestreaming with a helmet camera opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood, killing 10 people and wounding three others in what authorities described as "racially motivated violent extremism."All major broadcast networks broke away from regular programing to carry Biden’s remarks at 7:30 p.m. EDT, before the start of primetime shows.
