President Joe Biden on Monday responded to the police-involved shooting death of Daunte Wright near Minneapolis, saying there is “no justification for looting” and “no justification for violence.”

Following Wright’s death, violent protests and looting erupted in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis, on Sunday night. Minnesota officials called in the National Guard after crowds of people started throwing rocks at officers and the local police department headquarters.
