On the ground in Minneapolis for @townhallcom and surveying the damage from last night's riots in the aftermath of George Floyd's death. Looting is still occuring.
For those asking where the cops are, they are across the street protecting the 3rd precinct police building from a large crowd that's right outside.
🚨🚨🚨Things have escalated as Minneapolis police moved in and rioters are starting to throw bottles and other items at the cop cars, resulting in police responding with tear gas and pepper spray.
A fight broke out as Minneapolis police were trying to evacuate an injured person. Got caught in the middle as police moved in.
People are now just screaming at the cops.
Protesters have blocked most of the intersection at East lake Street and Minnehaha ave. A group even dragged a cart collector from Target into the street.
Someone, who looks like a member of Antifa, is cutting through the fencing around the 3rd precinct's police building.
A restaurant nearby that says they are minority owned. Looks like it's untouched.
