Fear of new protests and new clashes after the killing of an African American boy by the police, the mayor of Minneapolis has ordered a curfew for the evening today. Biden calls for 'peace and calm' US President Joe Biden has called for "peace and calm" after protests over the killing of a young African American by a police officer in a suburb of Minneapolis. Biden called the killing of Duante Wright "a truly tragic fact" and said he saw the "pretty impressive" bodycam video of the agent firing the fatal shot, US media reported. "The question is, was it an accident? Was it intentional?" He told reporters in the White House, "it remains to be determined by a full-blown investigation." I think we have to wait and see what the investigation shows - and l whole investigation. "He also stressed that" there is absolutely no justification "for looting and violence:" Peaceful protest is understandable. We know that the anger, pain and trauma that exist in the black community in that environment are real, it's serious, and it's consequential. But that doesn't justify the violence. "Officer confused the gun with the taser The policeman who killed a young African American in Minneapolis, 20-year-old Daunte Wright, got confused between the gun and the laser. an African American, in the same city as George Floyd, just as the trial for his murder is unfolding, emerges from the video recorded by the camera on the agent's uniform.

" he sees the video and he listens to the agent's orders, it is deduced that he wanted to take the taser, but he fired only one bullet at Wright - said the chief of police of Brooklyn Center, Tim Gannon -. after seeing him and seeing the agent's immediate reaction, I believe it was an accident that caused this tragic death. "The agent was suspended from duty immediately after an internal investigation was initiated
