Riot Police, National Guard 'Completely Abandon' Perimeter in Minneapolis, Chased Away by Protesters
[PJ] Townhall’s Julio Rosas is on the ground in Minneapolis this week, reporting on the protests and riots. Tonight he’s reporting that the riot police and the National Guard have abandoned a perimeter they had set up earlier in the day, chased away by the rioters.
For the fourth night in a row, protesters and rioters have descended on Minneapolis to protest the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer, who was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday afternoon.
The city is under a curfew order, but rioters are refusing to disperse.
The situation on the ground is extremely volatile right now. Rosas says riot police shot him with a "non-lethal weapon" as he was kneeling some distance away, observing the scene.
