Protesters gathered in Brooklyn Tuesday to voice outrage and frustration over the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who was fatally shot by police on Sunday in Minnesota. 
The 20-year-old was shot by a police officer in Minnesota during a traffic stop. Bodycam footage released by the Brooklyn Center Police Department captured the encounter.
Authorities say police officer Kim Potter attempted to fire a Taser and accidentally fired a gun instead. She has since resigned, as has the department's chief.
Protesters showed up to the Brooklyn demonstration with bikes and say they hope it makes a big statement as they ride through the city.

They say they are tired of seeing the same narrative happen over and over again.
