The police in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, prohibited tear gas - then broke their own rules almost immediately

• Brooklyn Center police banned tear gas and other crowd control measures in a new ordinance.
• They broke their own rule almost immediately, as videos showed tear gas being deployed just 15 minutes later.
• Minneapolis is grappling with protests after the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright at a traffic stop.

The Brooklyn Center police passed an ordinance banning tear gas and other crowd control tactics, but it was not long before they ended up breaking their own rules.

According to local media outlets, a resolution to limit police control tactics was passed in the city at around 8 p.m. on Monday. The ordinance restricted the use of tear gas and other chemicals by Brooklyn Center police officers, as well as rubber bullets, and called for limited violence with a ban on chokeholds.

Also restricted in the ordinance was "kettling" - a term used to describe the use of police lines to fence-in and arrest large numbers of people at once.

Minneapolis police are currently grappling with a fresh wave of protests after Daunte Wright, 20, was shot at a traffic stop on Sunday by officer Kimberly Potter.

Twitter videos posted just 15 minutes after the incident showed members of law enforcement deploying tear gas just 15 minutes after the resolution was passed- a clear violation of the ordinance.

Other videos on Twitter also showed multiple people being pepper-sprayed in another clear violation of the ban on chemical irritants.

Closer to 9 p.m., more videos showed tear gas being deployed to disperse protesters who were on the streets and in violation of the 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew imposed by the city.

It is unclear if the officers shown in the videos are part of the Brooklyn Center police department, or other law enforcement agencies.
