Protesters gathered for a second time in Boston this weekend to call for justice and change following last weekend’s police shooting death of Daunte Wright.

The former police chief in Brooklyn Center said Potter, who is white, mistakenly fired her handgun when she meant to use her Taser. Both the chief and Potter resigned Tuesday, and Potter was charged with second-degree manslaughter.
More than 100 protesters marched Sunday night on the Harvard Bridge that carries Massachusetts Avenue over the Charles River, connecting Boston with Cambridge.
