Protests erupted near Minneapolis for a second night on Monday evening, despite a city-wide curfew.

Hundreds of protesters waved signs and chanted slogans in front of the police station in Brooklyn Center, in Minnesota, after police killed Daunte Wright in what they've described an 'accidental discharge'.

Demonstrators taunted police through newly-erected wire fencing around the station, and carried signs saying "Jail all racist killer cops," "Am I next?" and "No justice, no peace".
