United States: Minnesota declares a state of emergency due to racial violence

On 28/5, the Governor of Minnesota (USA), Mr. Tim Walz declared a state of emergency in St. Petersburg cities, Paul and Minneapolis, as protests related to the murder of George Floyd continues to get complicated.

Minnesota had to rely on the National Guard to deal with the riots. Protesters were constantly smashing, smelling and clashing with security forces. Authorities are looking for ways to calm public opinion and call for calm.

A riot of violence began in Minneapolis, after a white policeman murdered a black man named George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for a long time.

The incident has sparked a nationwide outcry against racism, with people constantly holding protests to arrest police groups involved in the incident.

Both the local investigation agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have confirmed that they are making the case a priority.
