Hundreds of people packed a Minneapolis church on Thursday to say goodbye to Daunte Wright, the young black man killed by a white officer in yet another high-profile police shooting.
In a ceremony at the Shiloh Temple International Ministries, attended by the family of George Floyd and others who have lost loved ones in police arrests, Wright, 20, was remembered as a “jokester".
He was shot and killed on April 11 by a white officer during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Centre, a Minneapolis suburb.
Many in the Minneapolis area believe the charges are not enough.
"We definitely have Daunte Wright front and centre in our hearts," Nekima Levy Armstrong, a civil rights lawyer and prominent local activist, told The National.
"We are going to continue to demand murder charges and if and when we have to, we will return to the Washington County Attorney’s home in Stillwater.”
After Wright’s death, dozens of protesters gathered outside the home of Washington County Attorney Pete Orput, demanding murder charges against Ms Potter.
The shooting came during the Chauvin murder trial and for many, it was further proof that policing needs to change in a country where police kill about three civilians every day, with people of colour disproportionately among them.
“Can we just have a moment where you guys aren’t killing anyone?” Ms Levy Armstrong asked.
Chauvin's conviction came as a shock to many in the black community, which seldom sees officers held accountable for deadly shootings.
“People who didn’t believe that a conviction was possible now see that it is possible” Ms Levy Armstrong said.
On Thursday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called for two minutes of silence to honour Wright.
Activists in the state said they would not rest until policing improved and Wright’s family received justice.
“We will pull up at the home of an elected official or law enforcement officials and disrupt their comfort,” Ms Levy Armstrong said.
"We’ll be peaceful but that’s going to be a disruption to them."
In his eulogy, Mr Sharpton urged politicians to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which would ban some police techniques including the use of choke and carotid holds.
“We are fighting for a federal law, because if we have to keep fighting state by state we’ll never solve this,” he said.
