A protester is going viral online for a television interview he gave to CNN recently during demonstrations in Brooklyn Center, Minn., in response to the fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright.
“I’ve been here all four nights,” the protester said on Wednesday night, just days after Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, was fatally shot by a police officer during a traffic stop.
“I’m just standing here today with soup for my family. And we’re just watching all of this unfold. It’s very unfortunate,” the man, who was holding a soup can at the time, says while winking at the camera.
“You’re not planning on using that, are you throwing it at the police?” CNN’s Sara Sidner then asks the man.
“Like I said, it’s for my family,” he added.
