Protesters who were marching from Minneapolis to St. Paul were tear gassed by police as they tried to cross the Lake Street Marshall Bridge

More than 80% of people booked into Minneapolis jails over the past 2 days are from MinnesotaMore than 80% of people booked into jail in Minneapolis on riot and other potentially riot-related charges over the past two days are from Minnesota, according to a CNN analysis of data from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s office.

Those charges amounted for more than half of the total jail bookings over the 48-hour period. Three of the arrestees were listed as Illinois residents, while others were from Alaska, Florida, Michigan and Missouri, and one had no address available. It’s not possible from the data to say for sure that the charges were linked to the protests. And the data only covers people booked into jail, not necessarily all arrests. Hennepin County includes Minneapolis, but not St. Paul.Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Saturday that protesters “are coming in largely from outside of the city, from outside of the region, to prey on everything we have built over the last several decades.

And Gov. Tim Walz had suggested that 80% of protesters were from out of state, but didn’t provide data at a Saturday evening press conference to support that figure. He said some of the information came from “human intel” and he spoke of “other data points,” but didn’t provide details. “We'll see tonight, whether it's right or wrong,” he said.

St. Paul mayor Melvin Carter said Saturday morning that “every single person we arrested last night, I’m told, was from out of state,” but retracted that claim on Saturday evening, saying he “takes full responsibility” for the mistake.

wow with writers like this no wonder your fake news

Tear gas the shit out of them

ET to ET: We;ve got stuff a lot better than their 'tear gas' -- shall we use it?' Other ET: 'NO, we'll wait, maybe they'll all kill each other off and we won't have to intercede again.' ET; Okay, let's think about another ice age or some extra volcanoes, that'll work.'

Terrorists, not protestors!

Point of correction-: Rioters and LOOTERS not protesters. FAKE NEWS CNN !!!!

This is the anger stored all those days and years, now being unleashed BlackLivesMatter

This is why CNN is garbage. Playing interference for the police state. Sad.

America cities need to remove these social handouts suppressing these people

Americans have lost it. Trump is stiring it.

Cops have PPE

Watching the live footage from MinneapolisRiot is surreal and not something you expect in the land of the free! We saw riots and protests like this in the Middle East where they are not so free! Is there freedom in America? GeorgeFloydprotest America Freedom

U think these leaders are smart enough to act in a way that will ease the tension MN has a very terrible record of killers cops been Let off hook. So there is a distrust. The protesters demand was simple arrest the 4 killers What wrong with that If that will ease the tension.

CNN CNNPolitics Stop calling these LOOTERS and RIOTERS who are breaking the law 'Protesters'. They have destroyed property, attacked & destroy businesses that will cost us millions. CHANGE YOUR TITLE TO RIOTERS were marching from Minneapolis to St. Paul...

Meanwhile in Flint MI letswalk

CNN don’t need tear gas to cry. Comes so natural.

Fist bumps👊🏼, hugs and solidarity ☮️ peaceful protest Flint Strong, Flint United

To watch these people riot and steal seems an insult to the gentleman that was murdered..

Oh CNN 🙄

Please just STOP ! You are making things worse not better! How do you look at yourselves in the mirror everyday

Calling rioters protesters is like calling CNN a news outlet.

“No one cares about social distancing anymore...”

It’s sad to see something that started with so much passion for a true purpose become mutated into full on anarchy with robbery and arson of targets having nothing to do with BLM . Literally just made police more afraid of the black community and that breaks my heart

Rioters and Thugs who were marching from Minneapolis to St. Paul were tear gassed by police as they tried to cross the Lake Street Marshall Bridge

Don’t you get it. We’ve taken all we can take. You murder our women and children and dare us to do anything about it. You murder us black men and walk unpunished. You miscalculated. We’re men. And we will fight to the death for our families and freedom!
