Gov. Tim Walz activated the state's National Guard and lawmakers pleaded for peace as protests and looting continued in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area.
MINNEAPOLIS — A police precinct was burning in Minneapolis as protests over the death of George Floyd raged on for a third straight day.
He called the vandalism and arson"unacceptable," but he vowed that officers would continue to patrol the community served by the 3rd Precinct."We will continue to do our jobs in that area," Frey said. The Minnesota National Guard said on Twitter that 500 soldiers had been activated for duty in the Twin Cities."Our mission is to protect life, preserve property and the right to peacefully demonstrate," it said.
But as police circled the store and faced off with an angry crowd, looters broke into a T.J. Maxx close by and made off with whatever they could carry. That store was later reported to be on fire. President Donald Trump late Thursday weighed in, blaming local leadership for the unrest and threatening to deploy National Guard troops that were already in position in the Twin Cities.
"Out of concern for the safety of riders and employees, Metro Transit bus and light rail service will be suspended," the transit agency announced at about 2:30 p.m. In Louisville, Kentucky, where Breonna Taylor was killed by police during a raid at her home, officers with batons and riot gear patrolled as a crowd chanted in protests. One officer was seen firing what appeared to be a paintball gun, and people in the crowd behaved as though there was an irritant in the air, video showed.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis later expressed sadness over the state of the demonstrations."I was absolutely shocked by video evidence of a motorist attempting to run over a protestor," he said in a statement.
