The head of Minnesota’s largest police union says Daunte Wright, who was killed by an officer over the weekend, would be alive if he had complied with police orders.
“This is going to be an unpopular statement,” Brian Peters, executive director of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, said during a WCCO interview on April 14. “Daunte Wright, if he would have just complied. He was told he was under arrest. They were arresting him on a warrant for weapons. He set off a chain of events that unfortunately led to his death.”
