Mayor takes over police dept., fires city manager who vowed 'due process' for officer in death of Daunte Wright - TheBlaze
The mayor and city council of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, have made some major changes a day after Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old black man, was fatally shot by a police officer during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon.

Mayor Mike Elliott announced Monday evening he has commandeered the city's police department thanks to the city council. The council also voted to fire City Manager Curt Boganey — who promised Monday that the officer involved in the shooting would be given "due process."
