Crump criticized police's explanation of the shooting, holding up printed-out photos of a Glock pistol and a Taser. Potter used excessive force in the stop and Wright should not have been pulled over for a minor infraction such as an expired car registration during the COVID-19 pandemic, Crump said.
"So it's very difficult for this family to accept that this is an accident when you have a veteran who's been on the police for 26 years," Crump said.
The Wright family was going to the funeral home to see Daunte's body for the first time Thursday, Crump said. Wright's funeral will be held April 22; civil rights leader Al Sharpton will deliver the eulogy.
