Minnesota governor says will fully mobilize national guard amid unrest over George Floyd’s death
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMINNEAPOLIS — The governor of Minnesota says he plans to fully mobilize the state’s National Guard and promises a massive show of force to help quell civil unrest following days of protests over the police killing of George Floyd.
Governor Tim Walz says he also spoke with US Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley about getting federal assistance to help stop the violence.
Walz blames much of the destruction in Minneapolis last night on well-organized, out-of-state instigators whose goal was to “destabilize civil society.”
Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington vows a stronger police presence and a change in tactics “because this is intolerable and we are coming to stop it.”
