Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says last night's violent protests are a reflection of the reality the black community has faced and 400 years of inequality. He says to ignore it would be to ignore the "values we all claim to have."

Minneapolis Mayor @Jacob_Frey: "We need to be working with community to sort through those set of action steps."

He says the city needs not have an "ignorant peace" but an "awaken" one & that work is about "protecting community" & the infrastructure needed during a pandemic.

Chief of the Minneapolis Police Department Medaria Arradondo: I know there is a "deficient of hope" in our city. I know this department has contributed to that deficient of hope. We need people to stay safe. Our priority is the preservation of life.
