Hundreds of protesters again filled the streets in front of the police station in Brooklyn Center, where an officer shot and killed Daunte Wright during a traffic stop over the weekend. The protesters — shouting obscenities, shaking the police station’s security fence and occasionally lobbing water bottles — began thinning out as the 10 p.m. curfew approached Thursday. Police did not issue a dispersal order or respond to protesters with tear gas as they had the previous nights. Most of the protesters left by 11 p.m.
