BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. โ€” Monday, April 19

Operation Safety Net says no arrests were made Sunday night as protests in Brooklyn Center continued for an eighth straight night.

A curfew went into effect in Brooklyn Center at 11 p.m. and expired at 6 a.m. Monday. A curfew was also in effect in Champlin Sunday into Monday morning.

Demonstrations have been happening outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department building each night since 20-year-old Daunte Wright was shot and killed by former officer Kim Potter on Sunday, April 11.
