(Worthy News) – President Joe Biden is calling for calm after a night of unrest in Minnesota triggered by the police shooting death of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old black man.
Biden urged the community on Monday to “wait and see what the investigation shows,” repeating that there is “absolutely no justification for violence.”
“The question is whether it was an accident or intentional. That remains to be determined,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “Peaceful protest is understandable.

But that does not justify violence.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
