Maybe I'm making too much of this, but a leader saying "another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement" just gets people whipped up even further unnecessarily.
Especially in a case where it appears the officer made a mistake, and was not attempting to use lethal force.

I am closely monitoring the situation in Brooklyn Center. Gwen and I are praying for Daunte Wright’s family as our state mourns another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement.
