The Minnesota city of Brooklyn Center is considering a resolution to reform policing nearly a month after the fatal officer-involved shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright that would send unarmed civilians to respond to minor traffic violations and mental health calls. "The good news is we have the ability to start creating these changes now, today," Elliott said at the meeting. The resolution is named after Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler, a 21-year-old with autism who prosecutors said charged at Brooklyn Center officers with a knife before they fatally shot him. A former law enforcement official asked to speak at Saturday’s meeting said that he had concerns about sending unarmed civilians to make traffic stops. Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, was fatally shot by Brooklyn Center Officer Kim Potter during a traffic stop on April 11.
