At the time of the photograph, the Brooklyn Center Police Department was heavily fortified in response to protesters who had gathered outside. Protesters had gathered in response to the police killing of Daunte Wright on April 11, 2021. Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter claims to have confused her Taser with her handgun when she fatally shot Daunte Wright during a traffic stop. Officers presented Daunte Wright's air freshener, handing from his rear view mirror, as justification for the traffic stop.
