Protests following the death of George Floyd, a black man who pleaded that he couldn't breathe while he was held down with a knee by a Minneapolis police officer, have spread nationwide. Follow here for the latest updates.

Law enforcement officers faced improvised explosive devices and a"highly evolved and tightly controlled group of folks bent on adapting their tactics to make it as difficult as possible to maintain that order" last night in Minneapolis as protesters blanketed the city, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said at a news conference late this morning.

"I think what's really important to recognize is the tactics and the approach that we have taken have evolved and need to evolve the same way. With a sensitivity to the legitimate rage and anger that came after what the world witnessed in the murder of George Floyd, and was manifested in a very healthy gathering of community to memorialize that on Tuesday night. Was still present to a certain degree on Wednesday.

“This is the largest civilian deployment in Minnesota history that we have out there today,” Walz said then."This is an operation that has never been done in Minnesota."

They never were.

There are other trying to disrupt the message of injustice. Search those out but dont try to stop, spray, turn around, impose the matching protestors.

LET PEOPLE PROTEST! DO NOT INTERVENE THE PEACEFUL PROTESTS.

This is the left! VOTE RED TO STOP THIS SHIT!!!!

Looters & arsonists are not protestors...thieves at best

precisely. w/ the bad cop arrested and charged w/ murder it’s apparently now about having fun breaking and burning neighborhood businesses and the property of innocent people - and, of course, looting to get free stuff

Where is Mr. Bar. The top law inforcement officer in the country. Must be bunkered up with trump and Mitch American traitors!

They never were, they are America's scum that hate and steel because they don't want to work. PERIOD

Agree. I support the movement but TOTAL DISGUSTED how ppl are acting. No need for all the extra

He’s correct. It’s about racism in the ranks of the MN police department.

Bullshit

Oh honey. You don’t get to make that determination

Yeah they are left wing Antifa riots

--- It's alt-right groups, white supremacists, anarchists, & Trump-loving dupes responding to Russian ads inviting them to keep America great & fight ANTIFA. Black ppl don't roll with delayed ignition pyrotechnics. ---

They should release the political affiliation of those who came from out of state and acted violently.

How tf would he know? Fuck this old white dude

He’s right. It’s about ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE WHOS BEENS KILLED FOR NO REASON !!!

Minnesota AG keithellison tells JoyAnnReid that he has evidence and ample reason to believe that outside agitators are coming to Minnesota to cause harm & damage and incite violence

This Guy hasn’t learned his lesson yet. Yesterday the coronary Report says that George Floyd died do to his underlying conditions. Just another cover-up

While in Brazil CNNBrasil is promoting RACIST journalists to analyze racism acts in U.S. Shame! BlackLivesMatter

Well no shit. It stopped becoming abt him when the first store got vandalized

this is why its happening

Black want come America? No, White brought black here. This is the final result.

American Spring indeed really

Derek Chauvin started the violence.

yes. they fight against the social stratum

As a white man, he’s qualified to say that.

It’s Domestic Terrorism White Boys(Trump Supports) he authorized this

keep pushing us and we will shut this shit done harder then corona stop pushing us!!!!

naw its about fighting to live fuck your guard

Kent State, May 4th 1970. National Guard activated & eventually 13 people were shot, 4 casualties by the Guard. Lesson? The Military isn't the local Police...

Maybe next time there is video of a cop killing someone they will be arrested.

Tebe treba ubitu

Come down hard on those animals. They can’t win.

Does anyone know who left a truck load of bricks on the street in Minneapolis where the Protesting is

It’s not! It’s retaliation towards the corrupt control and violence we experience everyday from TERRORIST MinneapolisPD !!!

Not protesters--domestic terrorists! This is not the way to protest George's murder.

😷

cnn Please stop making it seem like you understand what's going on. You don't. Please stop making accusations about people of color. This is NOT what you want to do.

Support us police violence against terrorists, what about Hong Kong?

They never were

За такие твитты я люблю твиттер

He's a fool. The protest is not just about one man's death but the overall oppression that people face because of corrupt government and law enforcement agencies. Floyd was the straw that broke the camel's back. The Governor will most likely make it worse.

More than 90% just want too loot and cause damage

You are right mr. Mayor, it is about the knee on the neck for years and years

My conspiracy theory - this was a setup from Mr. Floyd's murder to all the unrest. His crime didn't match the arrest. The time it took to murder him, the policeman's wife filing for devorce? Time will hopefully clear all this up

Totally agree this is for the next Floyd, just remember they tried others ways and did not accomplish anything. So thumbs up the protest.

They're waking up to this now?

Justifying massive goverment/military show of force by claiming outside agitators are responsible for violence is deceptive and naive.

What does destroying somebody's shop or somebody's car have to do with the murder of a black man. It has nothing to do with the death of a black man. The people who are looting and burning are just trouble makers, they dont care about the life that was taken.

The Mayor & Governor should be removed from office. They made idle threats of curfews and then let the city be burned down by ANTIFA and Soros, and media like CNN are complicit.

The loss of human dignity is a deadly disease rather than a virus

The government immediately brings in the KKK shock troops and the White house Secret Gestapos to kill American freedom. Mad trump sends the USA to hell with his maga hoax.
