George Floyd pinned down by Minneapolis police officer
Several major cities in the United States have ordered curfews, but protesters continued the march at night, mourning the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
On Friday, Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minnesota) told reporters that 80% of the Minnesota protesters arrested are not residents of the state.
He also urged the protesters to honor Floyd in a peaceful manner.
“Our great cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under assault by people who do not share our values, who do not value life and the work that went into this and are certainly not here to honor George Floyd,” Walz said. “They need to see today that that line will stop and order needs to be restored.”
