WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden called for "peace and calm" on Monday following an evening of protests after a police officer in a Minneapolis suburb shot and killed a 20-year-old Black man during a traffic stop.
Biden called the shooting death of Daunte Wright on Sunday "a really tragic thing" and said he watched "fairly graphic" body camera footage from the officer who fired the fatal shot.
"The question is was it an accident? Was it intentional?" Biden told reporters at the White House. "That remains to be determined by a full-blown investigation."
"I think we've got to wait and see what the investigation shows – and the entire investigation," he said.
Biden stressed there is "absolutely no justification" for looting and violence.
"Peaceful protest is understandable," he said. "And the fact is that we do know that the anger, pain and trauma that exists in Black community in that environment is real – it's serious, and it's consequential. But that does not justify violence."
He added: "We should listen to Dante's mom who is calling for peace and calm."
This may be the first thing Biden has said with which I agree.
nice words Mr. President...peasceful protests are OK, but stop the looting and violence
However, the Vice President would disagree

Typical newspaper reporting...
"WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden called for "peace and calm" on Monday following an evening of protests after a police officer in a Minneapolis suburb shot and killed a 20-year-old Black man during a traffic stop."
a more accuate and maybe slightly less inflammatory comment would have been...
