Dozens of people have been arrested for rioting and burglary overnight. Gov. Tim Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard to help stop the unrest. Walz said this is an emotional time after what happened in Kenosha Wisconsin, and here with George Floyd.

Minnesota State Patrol is in Minneapolis to help as well, with around 150 troops being brought in. In response to the unrest in Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frey declared a state of emergency.

Due to the unrest, Metro Transit had stopped bus and light rail service in downtown, but they are now running here along Nicollet Mall again.
