WASHINGTON, MAY 29 - Third night of unrest in Minneapolis. A fire broke out outside the commissariat of the former agents involved in the death of George Floyd and the building, besieged by protesters, was abandoned. A procession marched into the city center demanding justice and chanting slogans against the police and Donald Trump.
Not far from the place where Floyd was suffocated, a group of troublemakers attempted to storm a mall but was repelled by police tear gas. Local media report how the protesters managed to enter the police station by shattering the windows, vandalizing the offices and setting part of the building on fire. The latter was evacuated for safety, after officers fired rubber bullets at the demonstrators. Other buildings in the area have been vandalized by setting fires.
