Daunte Wright’s family is going viral with their demands of granting a life sentence for the cop who shot and killed him recently.
The 20-year-old passed away this week when he was fatally struck with gunshots by a cop who claims she accidentally pulled out her gun, assuming it was a taser during a traffic stop. Now, the family demands justice and they believe there is simply no better way than by giving the officer a life sentence of imprisonment.
