DULUTH, MN -- On Wednesday, Black Lives Matter Twin Ports and its supporters, took to the streets of Duluth to demand justice for Daunte Wright.<\/p>\n
\"The only thing I can say is I'm tired. When is it enough? Because it's a year later and it's still going on,\" said Lamarquita Leach, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Twin Ports.<\/p>\n
Leach helped organize the Black Lives Matter march in Duluth on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
A community now hurt by the death of another black man, Daunte Wright. Wright was shot and killed by Officer Kim Potter in Brooklyn Center. She is now facing a 2nd-degree manslaughter charge.<\/p>\n
\"The second degree is not what she did. She innocently murdered somebody and there was no accident. A taser weighs much less than a handgun. A handgun weighs two pounds compared to a taser like c'mon now,\" said Leach.<\/p>\n
Others in attendance Wednesday said it's time to change the policing system.<\/p>\n
\"Complete reform. Just complete. They just got to abolish it and build from the bottom. I'm sorry. It starts from within,\" said Kenneth Fair an activist.<\/p>\n
Fair traveled from Minneapolis to take part in the march. He said politicians need to stop talking about change and instead take action.<\/p>\n
\"They have to speak with their actions and not their words. I'm sorry, Jacob Frey, the governor. They need to step up,\" said Fair.<\/p>\n
Calls to step up and make a change as a community mourns once again.<\/p>\n
\"I can't even say I thought a change would have been made by now. We've had centuries to change racism, and we didn't do it,\" said Leach.<\/p>\n
Leach said they will march again Tuesday and Wednesday next week to continue to make their voices and messages heard.<\/p>\n
