This story will be updated as protests continue throughout the country. Please check back for updates. All times Eastern.Minneapolis' city council vice president said the government is still adjusting to the situation, but is handling it"in the best way that we can given all of the chaos, all of the unrest, all of the anger and pain in this community."
"By declaring racism a public health emergency it provides us the opportunity to name the virus that has infected our American institutions for centuries but in addition, it gives us the opportunities to ... you can’t really begin to cure a disease until you know what that disease is," she said."It’s an infectious disease just like the coronavirus and it’s not just Minneapolis."President Donald Trump tweeted that the National Guard is now in Minneapolis.
National Guard members patrol the protest area in Minneapolis, May 29, 2020, after three days of violent protests over the death of George Floyd.In a statement to ABC News, the National Guard said they were not authorized to disclose specifics about their"tactics or use of force." Biden said that he will be speaking more later today about the situation in Minneapolis. He also addressed a CNN crew being arrested.
"These problems will require systematic change to start the healing process. It won't be easy, but it's essential," Crump wrote on Twitter.CNN reporter Omar Jimenez and his production crew were arrested in Minneapolis live on air Friday morning while reporting on the Floyd protests. They were released about an hour later and Jimenez was back on-air reporting.
CNN president Jeff Zucker spoke to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz who apologized for State Police's arrest of Jimenez and their team. Walz said he was working to get them released and that he takes full responsibility for what happened.At least 70 people were arrested or summonsed during a series of protests that started in Union Square and spread through Lower Manhattan through Thursday night.
One person was arrested for assaulting a police officer for throwing a garbage can into a crowd and striking a police officer in the head. "These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen," Trump tweeted early Friday morning."Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts."
He needs to step down. He is a hen and cannot handle the pressure. He basically just sit and wait.
Who has seen the whole video? They weren’t complying with what the cops were asking
Hey Gov, fyi... many other news media outlets are covering this story but 1 black reporter get arrested Along with your apology answer why is this so? OmarJimenez GeorgeFloydWasMurdered
wish our president was as good as our governor DumpTrump2020
Handled it better than realDonaldTrump
national guard should arrest the police
ما رادت غير وطن 💔
This is an unfortunate example of what to expect from violent protests being dispersed. Although they are supposed to be nonlethal they will cause significant pain.
WritesMore At least the Governor sounds much more intelligent and stable than Trump.
I can’t breathe! GeorgeFloydprotest BlackLivesMatter GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloydWasMurdered GeorgeFloydMurder OmarKamal
How far are they going to protect these thugs criminal cops? The dump in the WH gave some ideas based on his sick mind 😷
It was a riot, not a peaceful protest.
Déjà vu NOW IN MINNESOTA! SAME SONG! SAME DANCE! BLAH-BLAH-BLAH! SAME BULLSHIT! PASSING THE BUCK! RUN-AROUND! NOT-MY-FAULT! NOT-MY-DECISION! WE-DID-OUR-BEST! MORE EXCUSES! LESS RESULTS! WE-WILL-FIX IT! WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU! WE ARE WORKING ON IT! BLAME GAME IN MOTION !
Media
cops are starting the riots
Umm That's during RIOTS in Minneapolis. Twitter really needs to fact check these news organizations. What is happening in Minneapolis is not protest it is down right RIOTING.
What is he doing about officers who need to be charged, fired, disciplined, held accountable. That whole force has obvious problems
but killing George Floyd is under investigation because apparently our Police Procedures allow for neck take-downs.
Kudos to the sign language interpreter. She’s awesome!
No excuses! Yjis should not even be an issue. It should have never happened.
That arrest, wasn't it staged?
“Journalism” 😂
Refreshing
That policeman must die too. Shame
White Supremacy infiltration of police
Good
But are they getting charged?!?!
cnn is a proxy for the ccp
My governor acts like a leader. He took responsibility for and apologized privately and publicly for the arrest of a CNN reporter. When has realDonaldTrump ever taken responsibility and apologized? NEVER!
Soros was paying $15/hr but does that include medical too
She deserved it. Consequences are a real thing.
Leave it to ABC to display bruises on a protesting looter encouraging reporter, why is she even there, I guess this violence helps their ratings
FakeNews she was in the middle of a RIOT
The only solution to white police violence is Voting Blue VoteBlue JusticeForGeorgeFloyd JusticeforAhmaudArbery CriminalJusticeReform
I mean I guess now that there is rioting trying to calm it so 'you can work on it', yet when it was peaceful ya'all wanted to pepper spray and tear gas and ignore. Got it....
We must stop this kind of atrocity on US soil! We must stop this kind of killing on US soil! We must stop this kind of murders on US soil! We must stop this domestic terrorism on US soil! We need Amendment 28, i.e. Freedom of Breath!
To avoid rubber bullets and related injuries, she would be wise to avoid riots and looting. Pretty simple solution.
More violence only begets more violence
As a result, these looters screw over their own Community they're suppose to represent. Just like Democrats, they only hurt the Black Community & discourage any positive development & opportunities for all minorities in the neighborhood. TruthMatters
Land of the Free 😂 😂 😂 their President tells us he’s the leader of the Free world certainly not the same free world I live in here in the UK remembera time when USA was respected for stopping dictators creating a police state & stifling freedom of the press..
需要中国去支持一下抗议者吗？
Things Trump will/would never say: “That’s a valid point and critique.” - GovTimWalz
Oh lord, the libs are at war trying to stop ObamaGate
WE MISS YOU OBAMA IN THE WORST WAY!!
Wise words from the former President.
The World needs President Obama right now. Big, Hateful Orange exacerbated this 😔
Racism isn’t the issue. The issue is that government allows murder as a matter of public policy.
Just more of your memorized clichés ..I was not surprised at all it’s an old white fuck
That is true leadership.
Then why were they arrested? They followed the officer's directions and repeatedly said they were with CNN as well as provided credentials.
But the murderer was not arrested.
We must stop this kind of atrocity on US soil! We must stop this kind of killing on US soil! We must stop this kind of murders on US soil! We must stop this domestic terrorism on US soil! We need Amendment 28, i.e. Freedom of Breath!

Who would of imagined when all the white people voted for Obama that he would have the complete opposite effect on the nation
Awwwww what a inspirational words from mass murderer and sociopath.
Well actually, it is normal in 2020 because of Barry. He divided this nation and erased decades of progress.
Police murder of black and brown people was already an ongoing scourge before Trump and Pence, but under this regime, it has and will continue to get qualitatively worse. Encouraged and enforced at the highest levels of power.
Spoken like a true leader
You kept the racial divide going .
M.Obama, please get P-45 to resign.
GMA Thank you BarackObama you are the epitome of class and knowledge. EveryLifeMatters
hOW MANY NEW NORMALS CAN YOU FIT INTO ONE YEAR
GMA Why didn’t Obama do anything when Ferguson and Baltimore burned. He called the looters thugs
.Sounds great...so when you get prosecuted don't be calling anyone the R word....
Now we're setting a standard of 'new normal' because of one officer's bad decision.
America have to stop prejudice...
You did your best my brotha and we are all proud...Now get your wife in there as the VP pick!! We need her!!
We must stop this kind of atrocity on US soil! We must stop this kind of killing on US soil! We must stop this kind of murders on US soil! We must stop this domestic terrorism on US soil! We need Amendment 28, i.e. Freedom of Breath!
He's right. Trumpers will hate that the black president spoke out, watch them flutter on your feed with redirectives and gibberish.
You tell him Obama, him being all the leaders of each State, each Municipality of the United States, are we going backwards now?
This isn’t advocating violence !? What the heck is going on in this world. Up is down
How about they treat EVERYONE as equals and make EVERYONE'S safety their top priority.
american police taught hongkong police a good lesson about how to deal with riots .
Why would he not condemn the rioting, looting and destruction of property? He loves race wars.
This is how a President responds to a crisis.
Sorry we need a video of him saying this, you putting writing on a picture doesn't make it a fact
Youre a liar. Americans. wake up and read history. this is not new. why allow republicans and democrats to continue this, this has gone on since 1828 and 1854. is this not enough? TO HELL WITH REPUBLICANS AND TO HELL WITH DEMOCRATS. TO HELL WITH THEM ALL
BWAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!! CNN assholes getting what they so richly deserve for impersonating journalists!
When will the people become the top priority?
Anything about disciplinary action, including training, for the officers who arrested the crew without cause?
When are the Sanctuary State run Dems going to be Arrested for all those they MURDERED in Nursing Homes?
4 arrests is a hell of a lot cheaper than having 2 of your cities set on fire. justsaying
Social Justice is best realized by stealing tv's from a private business and burning down affordable housing buildings, we must all do our part to thieve and destroy.
Trump sent them because he hates cnn
I hate cnn and this even shocked me. Somthing china would do.
Apologize to the people of Minneapolis for allowing outsiders to come into their city and burn down their businesses and their communities while you stood down and watched it burn!!
Chief of police have an apology like this? Didn’t come across my timeline. Would like to see it. If hasn’t happened, he needs fired too.
The National Guard was instructed & knew exactly what they were doing when they arrested the Black CNN reporter. The GOP has been trained to hate CNN. No way they randomly chose this reporter to detain. The arrest was meant to send a message.
There are good cops who do good things, and there are good cops that do bad things. There are also bad cops that can do good things. But these PIGS are BAD COPS DOING BAD THINGS!! ARREST THEM NOW! If police are not held to rule of law then neither should citizens!
I call bullshit!
ARREST THEM NOW
Stop airing this bullshit. No charges are being announced and anything any of them are saying is a waste of time and totally condescending to the public. ARRESTtheOFFICERS Vote2020
1. Public trial of relevant police. 2. Remove all charges against protesters. 3. Establish an independent committee to investigate the abuse of violence by the police force. 4. Trump must resign. 5. Carry out universal suffrage immediately. Five demands are indispensable.
Not impressed!
