Minneapolis mayor calls for calm after a second night of protests over George Floyd's death collapses into chaos, leaving Target looted and an AutoZone on fire
—Joyce Karam The Tribune reported that while some protestors tried to extinguish the flames, others "danced gleefully in front of the flames and smoke, snapping selfies."
KSTP reported that the Minneapolis Police Department said "they are aware of what is happening in the area and are working on the matter." that smoke was also "billowing out of the Cub Food store."One man was fatally shot in the Lake Street neighborhood around the time of the protest, though it's unclear the circumstances of the shooting. According to the Tribune, police had "little information about the circumstances of that death.
"I understand the frustration of my community members, but I'm really disappointed that people feel like the only way to express anger is through destroying our own community. I mean, tomorrow, where are these moms ….going to be able to get food and diapers for their children? We're in a pandemic. Stores aren't even open," Jenkins said according to the outlet.
