Video Shows CNN Crew Member Hit by Water Bottle at Brooklyn Center Daunte Wright Protest

Video footage taken from the ongoing protests in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota show a CNN crew member being hit in the head with a bottle of water.

A second video reportedly shows protesters chasing people associated with CNN away from a police precinct, pelting their vehicle with eggs and other food as they depart.

The first video showed a woman urging another protester to act peacefully towards the CNN crew member. Then, an open plastic water bottle spills fluid as it bounces off of the crew member's head. It sent him staggering backward and falling onto the ground.

After standing back up, nearby protesters summoned a street medic while the man remained dazed. Other protesters jeered and mocked the man for falling over.

"It's all good. No worries," the crew member said when questioned about his well-being following the attack. "All good," he repeated while smiling.

Protesters just chased the entire CNN crew away from the police precinct.

In a second video—also posted by Washington Examiner reporter Nic Rowan—protesters reportedly chased the CNN crew away. In the video, people yell, "Get the f*ck out of here!" as the men walk directly to their vehicle.

When another man walks up to one of the crew members, brandishing a small item in his hand, the crew member puts up one hand and says, "We're leaving. We don't want any trouble."

Eggs break against the men's driver's side door and window as they depart.

The protests have been in response to the lethal police shooting of Daunte Wright. Wright is a 20-year-old fatally shot on April 11 by Brooklyn Center police officer, Kim Potter.

In a Monday press conference, now-former Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said Potter hadn't intended on shooting Wright. Gannon played an unedited clip of bodycam footage showing Wright's murder.

In the clip, Potter yelled "Taser!" as Wright struggled to escape the officers trying to arrest him. After Potter shot her weapon, she said, "Holy shit, I shot him," as Wright sped off in a car.

Gannon resigned two days after Wright's death. Potter also resigned. She will be charged with second-degree manslaughter. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

Daunte Wright's father, Aubrey Wright, has said he can't accept the explanation that his son was fatally shot by mistake. The deceased man's aunt, Naisha Wright, has said that Potter should "pay for what she did."

Activists have said that Daunte Wright's murder shows that the system of law enforcement in the United States is "irreparably broken."
