As curfew approaches, people march on the streets of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota calling for justice for Daunte Wright. Officer Kim Potter, the police veteran who fired the deadly shot, has quit the force.
The chief of police has also stepped down. The city manager has been fired. Jonathan Mason, who mentored Daunte Wright in high school, talks to Anderson about Wright's hopes and dreams.  

And in the trial of Derek Chauvin, it was day one for the defense. But testimony under cross examination from a key witness might have been more useful to the prosecution. 
George Floyd family attorney, Antonio Romanucci, joins Anderson.

Plus, a Los Angeles Police Department use-of-force expert says former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin used “deadly force” on George Floyd when none was necessary. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, has tweeted “Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd in cold blood.
