In some of these communities, as soon as someone gets lots of money, others immediately start trying to claw and get their hands on it.
This story was in the media for a while, but now the media is giving very little coverage to how this story is now playing out.
It doesn't exactly support the narrative they were trying to create.
(Some of these thugs who get shot by police really were bad people)
Remember, the death of Dante Wright triggered riots, and the family of the deceased Wright is surely in the lineup to receive massive amounts of settlement money from the city.
Just when the Wright's thought they played the race card for millions, their little monster's murderous past comes out to snatch the riches from their greedy racist claws.
The estate of Daunte Wright, the man accidentally shot by police some months back while he resisted arrest in a Minneapolis suburb, is being sued by one of his alleged victims. Twenty-year-old Wright you’ll recall had an active warrant for carrying a weapon and fighting with police, which was why they were trying to arrest him the day he got shot. He also had open armed robbery charges pending.
This was, of course, forgotten at his funeral. According to the New York Times, his “family and friends remembered Mr. Wright for his bright smile and outgoing demeanor, and as a dedicated father to a toddler, Daunte Jr., who was almost 2. As a freshman at Thomas Edison High School, he was voted a ‘class clown.’
"He attended Patrick Henry High School in Minneapolis in 2018, said the school principal, Yusuf Abdullah, who said he ‘was just like any other kid.' "
I know a little about Patrick Henry High School and can sadly say that Principal Abdullah is correct and that Mr. Wright is indicative of the type of kid that institution of learning produces.
The Reverend Al Sharpton eulogized the young man he'd never once met with "You thought he was just some kid with an air freshener," Mr. Sharpton said. "He was a prince, and all of Minneapolis has stopped today to honor the prince of Brooklyn Center."
Well, it looks like this victim who is being held up on a pedestal, in his violent wheelings and dealings around the Minneapolis metro area, may have shot a 16 year old in the head, leaving him with permanent injuries. Now that family wants some of the settlement money that's sure to come.

KARE 11 reports
The mother of a teenage boy who was shot in the head and critically injured in 2019 has filed a civil lawsuit claiming the shooter was Daunte Wright – the young man whose name made national headlines last month when he was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center.
Wright's death sparked days of protests over racial profiling and police use of force.
A newly filed lawsuit claims that Wright shot 16-year-old Caleb Livingston in the head at a Minneapolis gas station on May 14, 2019, leaving him with permanent physical and mental disabilities.
Livingston's mother is seeking damages from Wright's estate to help pay for her son's continuing care.
Although Wright was not criminally charged before his death in connection with Livingston’s shooting, the civil court filings in the case allege that "evidence generated to date reveals that the perpetrator of this crime was Daunte Wright."
Livingston's mother also alleges in court documents that Wright was a gang member with a lengthy criminal history.
Gas station shooting
Daunte Wright and Caleb Livingston had been childhood friends, according to a memorandum filed in the lawsuit. In fact, it says Caleb's "first sleep over as a boy was at Wright's home."
As time went on, though, there apparently was a falling out. Court filings say Livingston "beat up" Wright in front of others. That may have been a motive for what the lawsuit claims happened next.
Shortly after 9 o'clock on the night of May 14, 2019, the lawsuit says Livingston was at a gas station/convenience store in the 1800 block of Lowry Avenue in North Minneapolis. It claims Wright was there, too.
It alleges Wright "brandished, pointed, and discharged a firearm" at Livingston, with one bullet striking him in the head.
Weapon found?
Caleb Livingston survived - but with severe and permanent injuries.
At the time, no one was charged in the shooting. But attorneys for Livingston’s mother point to new evidence they say links Wright to the crime.
One year later, in June 2020, Minneapolis police received a report about a man with gun. When they arrived, a criminal complaint alleges that Daunte Wright jumped out of a car and fled on foot. However, officers said they found a loaded black Ruger .45 caliber handgun on the floor of the car where Wright had been sitting.
Wright was charged with fleeing police and carrying a handgun without a permit.
In a recent filing, an attorney for Livingston’s mother told the court "Based on reasonable information and belief, this gun is being compared to the shell casings found at the scene" of the 2019 gas station shooting.
The filing says the Minneapolis Police Department has not released details because their investigation is "active and ongoing".
Case originally sealed
Attorney Michael Padden filed the case in Hennepin County court on May 4, but originally asked that the case be kept confidential.
He cited the widespread publicity and protests surrounding Wright’s death which occurred during the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
He also argued that making the case public could jeopardize the police investigation and interfere with possible negotiations with lawyers for Wright’s family to settle the case.
A judge recently ruled the court files could be released.
When reached by KARE 11, Padden released this statement: "We had to commence the lawsuit because of the statute of limitations. MN law does not permit a case like this to be or remain sealed. Having said that, the allegations are valid."
Wright's estate has not filed a formal response to the lawsuit.
KARE 11 attempted to reach Wright family attorney Ben Crump, but has not heard back.
If true, then Wright was either a new father or expecting his son at the time he was allegedly shooting his friend in the head.
All Wright's victims should get a taste of what is sure to be a massive settlement. It seems that every settlement gets successively bigger. George Floyd's family got $27M.

By the way, just for the record, I am personally against the idea of families getting money for the wrongful deaths of their children.
All the more so when it is taxpayers footing that bill.
In my opinion, stories like this just help show how ridiculous that can be.
I will point out that it's very likely the lawyers in this legal battle are going to eat up half the settlement money. That might even leave the family members bankrupt and in an even worse financial position than they were before. (If they have to fight to keep the settlement money that is headed towards them, but then lose in court; with the money ultimately going to the family of the victim's victim instead of the family of the victim)
