Obama says Daunte Wright shooting shows 'how badly we need to reimagine policing'

Former President Barack Obama said the police shooting of Daunte Wright is evidence that the United States should “reimagine policing.”

“Our hearts are heavy over yet another shooting of a Black man, Daunte Wright, at the hands of police,” the Democrat wrote in a Tuesday tweet. “The fact that this could happen even as the city of Minneapolis is going through the heart-wrenching murder of George Floyd indicates not just how important it is to conduct a full and transparent investigation, but also just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country.”
