MINNEAPOLIS RIOTS: Violence continues as protestors ignore curfew, burn building

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) called in additional National Guard troops after thousands ignored the Minneapolis mayor's curfew on Friday evening as part of the fourth night of demonstrations in the city over George Floyd's death. Walz said Saturday he would move to activate an additional more than 1,000 guardsmen after mobilizing 500 on Friday night. "Minnesotans are asking for and deserve confidence that we can respond to this crisis, and we will," Walz tweeted early Saturday morning, saying state and local authorities were coordinating their efforts to tamp down on violence. "I urge for peace at this time." Authorities had announced earlier in the day Friday that one of the officers involved in Floyd's arrest, Derek Chauvin, would be charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Chauvin was seen on video kneeling on Floyd's neck for about eight minutes as he was heard saying "I can't breathe" before he eventually died.
