Minneapolis, Apr 22 (EFE/EPA).- Hundreds of people gathered on Thursday at a local church to bid their last farewell to Daunte Wright, who died a week-and-a-half ago when a police officer shot him once in the chest at a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center."Daunte Wright's life mattered," attorney Ben Crump said, asking those on hand to repeat the phrase a number of times during the service. "We have to fight for our children ... because our children need to know how much we believe in them, how much we believe in their future. Because they do have a right to life and liberty and their American dream, and that is the plea for justice."
