The governor of Minnesota called up the state’s entire national guard Saturday for the first time since World War II, awaiting what could be a fifth night of violent protests brought about by the death of an African American man in police custody
For the past four nights, protesting has led to looting, arson and other violence in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as other cities across the United States
“We are under assault,” first-term Gov. Tim Walz said as he promised “full strength” would be used to restore order
Governors in at least seven other states -- Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, Wisconsin, Colorado, Utah and Texas -- also activated National Guard troops to help quell protests that in many areas have turned violent. Some cities, such as Portland, Oregon, and Los Angeles, have instituted nighttime curfews after violence occurred in those cities
The protests are over the death of George Floyd, who was shown in a video lying on the ground with a white officer pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck. Floyd, who was handcuffed with his hands behind his back, pleaded repeatedly, “I can’t breathe.”
