Updates from protests against the death of George Floyd in police custody: • Protesters torch police station. • CNN crew arrested while reporting. • President Trump draws warning from Twitter for “glorifying violence.” Full coverage:

A protester carries the carries a U.S. flag upside, a sign of distress, next to a burning building Thursday, May 28, 2020, in Minneapolis. Protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody Monday, broke out in Minneapolis for a third straight night.

“With regard to?” Frey responded. Then he added: “There is a lot of pain and anger right now in our city. I understand that ... What we have seen over the past several hours and past couple of nights here in terms of looting is unacceptable.” While live on air, Jimenez was handcuffed and led away. A producer and a photojournalist for CNN were also led away in handcuffs.

Protests first erupted Tuesday, a day after Floyd’s death in a confrontation with police captured on widely seen citizen video. On the video, Floyd can be seen pleading aspresses his knee against him. As minutes pass, Floyd slowly stops talking and moving. The 3rd Precinct covers the portion of south Minneapolis where Floyd was arrested.

In St. Paul, clouds of smoke hung in the air as police armed with batons and wearing gas masks and body armor kept a watchful eye on protesters along one of the city’s main commercial corridors, where firefighters also sprayed water onto a series of small fires. At one point, officers stood in line in front of a Target, trying to keep out looters, who were also smashing windows of other businesses.

“Please stay home. Please do not come here to protest. Please keep the focus on George Floyd, on advancing our movement and on preventing this from ever happening again,” tweeted St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, who is black. The group marched peacefully for three hours before another confrontation with police broke out, though details were scarce.“It is time to rebuild. Rebuild the city, rebuild our justice system and rebuild the relationship between law enforcement and those they’re charged to protect,” Walz said.

“We’re burning our own neighborhood,” said a distraught Deona Brown, a 24-year-old woman standing with a friend outside the precinct station, where a small group of protesters were shouting at a dozen or so stone-faced police officers in riot gear. “This is where we live, where we shop, and they destroyed it.” No officers could be seen beyond the station.Others in the crowd saw something different in the wreckage.

Riots, they're riots.

In US Blacks are super powerful-in major cities they control 1/2 fed/state judges/police depts/FBI/administrative govt/congress/Freemasons, plus have richest celebrities-2nd only to US Jews. More powerful than Chinese/Asians/Arabs/Indians/Mexicans/etc whom they routinely oppress.

CNN crew arrested !! The policemen need to get it stra8

Donald Trump has snapped the spinal cord of America. RIP🥀

Black Sunday Riot Colfax Riot New Orleans Riot Memphis right Riot Opelousas Riot In all of the above riots white people stormed the street and murdered innocent black men - even military men returning home from war. I don't want to hear shit about an AutoZone & Target.

Whatever happened to the freedom of press in the land of the free.. CNNArrests

Minnesota 1 of STRICTEST DEM-LED SHUTDOWNS in U.S! Yung PeopleSO frustratD with DEM LDRs,even LOCALs.If DEM-run Ldrshp wasn'tSO bad/peopleNot so restrctD,tensions wouldn't lead to destryN loc busins/ActionsSpeak Loudr thN wrds/PRES takN Actions to CHANGE Inept,Unusual DEM CONTROL

It’s important to remember that this police officer (who was definitely in the wrong) would have done the exact same thing to a Asian, Caucasian, Eskimo whatever. Either he just snapped or was naturally a violent person

Sad but it’s a very powerful picture JulioCortez_AP 📸🙌🏼

JonLemire I hope JoeBiden can fix this , cuz it is scaring the crap out of me. The 😈 should not be running our beautiful country.

My heart goes out to everyone in my city who lost their home or job in the. 😓 MinneapolisRiots arrestDerekChauvin

That is one good photo taken, the capture of symbolism with it, nice photography camera man.

You are holding it wrong.

I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots, in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard FridayThoughts

Staged and the criminal media blames Trump.

It's spelled RIOT!

Bunch of subversives

Re CNN arrest. Are not the police required to inform you of the reason you’re being arrested?

You need to change your heading! It was not a death in police custody! It was MURDER AT THE HANDS OF BADGED TUGHS ! There is 9 minutes of video evidence,what else do you need? 😡 Resist NotMeUs

Can you please appropriately label them as 'riots?' Protesters don't loot and destroy property.

remember cops like trump do not believe in the 1st amendment....

It's just sad that we still live in a world full of egotistic people who consider other colors or race inferior. Better look at yourself humbly for you were once immigrant (if not slave) hundreds of years ago yourself. BlackLivesMatter RealAmericansWereIndians NoToRacism

Since a majority of those in the streets are non blacks,there were no bullets flying & no arrests made.Imagine if there were only Black faces in shadows of fires, looting & destroying. Let's be real, it wouldve ended diff last night but Dick & Jane's son is out there so hold off

CNN CREW ARRESTED ABOUT TIME.

Really? That’s all that happened last night?!

OmarJimenez OmarJiminez arrested with no explanation,no charge declared and lead away out of site JUST LIKE A BLACK MAN . Hope he doesnt get a knee to the throat or shot or beat up like GeorgeFloyd THE REASON THIS WENT FROM PROTEST & PRAY PEACEFUL TO WE PAST THAT

Sooooo much winning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

NBC29 Destruction, theft, This is how you get justice for George Floyd.🤦‍♀️

JonLemire You forgot to add that having been warned by Twitter, that the White House Twitter account then retweeted the Presidents 'glorifying violence' tweet. BOTH should be suspended with immediate effect.

Yet Twitter does nothing about this

Guys get killed = we need to burn down target for free legos?

JonLemire

realDonaldTrump is a racist that is fanning the flames! The first thing he does is call for killing more Americans, hasn’t he killed enough through his lack of leadership of COVID19! He should resign today.

‘Murica

ARREST THOSE MURDERS THAT KILLED GEORGEFLOYD ON CAMERA!!!!!

It’s fun living in Trump’s America, never a dull moment. Amazing how one man has single handedly dismantled a stable country in such a short time.

A Beautiful View!

Is the President threatening mass murder not the headline?

“Protesters torch police station.” *Rioters torch police station. Protesters demonstrate peacefully in pursute of justice and what they feel is right (and this is definitely a reason to protest racism and police brutality agains African Americans) This act is riot, not protest

They are not 'protesters'. They are angry, hateful thugs, bored with life, that find any excuse to do evil. Every one of them who loots, burns down a business, brutalizes another person should be sent to prison for a long time.

I'd say lies by him and for him represent at least 50% of all the lies on twitter. Ban him or at least spank him for the behavior and suspend his account for awhile.

Update regarding MLK raping women

The liberal dilemma

And a school shooting to top it off?

Libs were peddling social distancing just a minute ago, mocking and shaming actual protests for even stepping foot outside during the 'deadliest' thing ever on the planet earth. Funny how riots destroyed all ur fetishes of anymore control. Lib schemes always self disintegrate.

Fact-Twitter is a left wing and does not like Trump, this was shown in 2016, they even called all Trump supporters (N word) Twitter needs to be reg. not protected from lawsuits

This is what happens when the Mayors, the police departments and the police unions allow crappy cops to remain on the force. We need to hold these liberal Mayors, PDs and Unions accountable. HARSHLY

Arrest the murderers!!!

realDonaldTrump looking for opportunity to Floyd’s murder! 1st he acted as if he cared,to see if that gets him some black votes! If it weren’t election yr, he wouldn’t even mention it! Black ppl aren’t fools; we’ll never forget Charlottesville neonazis support or Central Park 5!

The white house requoted that violent tweet as well.

President TRUMP’s violent rhetoric has fuelled POLICE BRUTALITY and RACISM in the United States. The DEATHS of GEORGE FLOYD and AHMAUD ARBERY prove that EVIL people have been encouraged to do HARM to BLACK people under the FAILED leadership of TRUMP

CHARGE THE MIRDERERS NOW!

And more looting from 'protestors'.

Crowds protest in Minneapolis after death of George Floyd, but investigation will take timeFour Minneapolis police officers were fired after the death of George Floyd, who was black. Whether his death will be considered criminal is unclear. Wait... are protests allowed again? I thought we all agreed that protests spread COVID19 and 'putting lives at risk'? Have these people signed waivers or something? Or is this okay because it is not conservatives doing the protesting? What investigation , when everyone can see how a wicked act was displayed in a broad day light .. ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️. Why not put that white policeman to law. And let justice prevail .. So it's ok to protest now?

‘George Floyd’s life mattered’: Biden condemns death of black man in Minneapolis police custodyJoe Biden condemned the “horrific killing” of George Floyd, the 46-year-old black man who died in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department, demanding a civil rights investigation into the incident by the Department of Justice Этот твит важен для меня He called on the FBI for a civil rights investigation? Yes, Biden condemned it, as everyone with a soul or a shred of humanity should. The fact that stepping up and doing the right thing in this country is a headline, AND that it's not our actual President doing it, speaks volumes.
