MINNEAPOLIS (KFGO) Gov. Tim Walz activated the National Guard as Minneapolis braced for more violence over the death of a handcuffed black man in police custody.
Rioting on Wednesday and Thursday reduced parts of one neighborhood to a smoking shambles, with burned buildings, looted stores and angry graffiti demanding justice. The unrest ravaged several blocks, with scattered rioting reaching for miles across the city, following the death of George Floyd.
Mayor Jacob Frey urged the governor to activate the National Guard. Another protest was announced for Thursday evening near county offices downtown.
