“SWAT arrived on the scene soon after the Statehouse break-in. Officers used a loud speaker to announce an emergency was declared in the area, meaning any protester who refused to leave would be arrested,” NBC 4 reports.
The criminal mobs are “protesting” the death of George Floyd, who was killed in Minneapolis while in police custody on Monday.
It is the second night of riots in Minneapolis.
