I checked the citations on two statements and found significant problems of presenting unsubstantiated claims as established fact. Both examples are found in the section "Events," "In Brooklyn Center and Minneapolis–Saint Paul," "Day 1: Sunday, April 11,"
I deleted both statements.
These are the only two citations I checked, but the language throughout appears heavily politicized. Other problems include:
The errors listed above raise the question of how often the article veers from demonstrable fact to push a narrative.
This article needs substantial checking of citations and a warning at the top until any needed rewrites are complete.

I'm not sure why this is a recurring theme on Wikipedia, but, while the term "protests" has not been defined by the US gov't, the term riot has:
(1) an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons, which act or acts shall constitute a clear and present danger of, or shall result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual or (2) a threat or threats of the commission of an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons having, individually or collectively, the ability of immediate execution of such threat or threats, where the performance of the threatened act or acts of violence would constitute a clear and present danger of, or would result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual.
This was a riot by the legal definition in the US. We should rename the article to reflect this. I would like feedback on changing the title to Daunte Wright Protests and Riot. PreciseLanguage ( talk) 10:51, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
