trying to keep police on this to ten minutes old. side of the police department addressing the police whenever and on the other side. they can, directly. they have positions on both ends no altercations at the moment of the department. trying to make sure the violence right now, joshua, we'll does not escalate. what started so promising for continue to stay with this group and get back to you later. peaceful protests and assembly, which is what the player pleaded >> thanks very much. for quickly turned. let's head from new york back >> before i let you go, you are out to southern california and talk to one of southern in a part of miami that is near california's distinguished members of congress. downtown miami, you're near a joining us now is maxine waters. good evening. historically black neighborhood noefr as overtown. >> good evening, thank you. is the miami pd headquarters >> what are your thoughts on where the protesting began or what we're seeing right now in did did begin somewhere else and southern california, in particular, some of the violence we've seen in parts of los end up at miami pd? >> it ended up at miami pd. angeles? >> well, you know, my thoughts it started on biscayne boulevard go back to -- way back to 1975 at the torch of freedom, which is a symbolic thing here in between 1975 and 1982 between miami, for the allowance of immigrants. people from the caribbean, who those years, the los angeles is helping to make this country a great melting pot, that's where the protesters started police department killed 16 people using the choke hold. out. they moved on to the highway. then there was a brief star at 12 of them were miami pd during the day. african-americans. i've been involved in this issue

later tonight as nightfall came, for many many years. i confronted the chief of police that's when we saw this change, then who was donald gates. police cars getting stomped on. we finally got rid of it in los the riots in the '80s, you angeles, and then it flaired up mentioned overtown, liberty again when we saw what happened city. areas that have had explosive with eric gardiner in new york. this is not a new issue, this is riots, going back 40 or 50 an old issue it's unfortunate years. reigniting some of the sentiment here joshua. that we had this murder of joy the tension between communities of color and the police, that there's been such effort to try to -- underground with a knee on to smooth and acknowledge better his neck for everybody to see. policing practices, here we are it has just inflamed folks. this evening with tension. so far, no reports of injury. it's really caused people. >> yeah, effort and some progress, i would say with the miami police department. we saw some video of some i'm sorry about the discussion, shopping area in miami being getting away from the choke somewhat overrun as it were. sam brock in miami thank you, sam. not sure exactly what part of hold. it cuts off the artery, you miami that is, might be the can't breathe. you die from it as george did. bayside marketplace, which sits i'm sorry the discussion goes right downtown miami on the intercoastal waterway. into what is happening with looting and violence and all of that's where that torch of that. friendship that sam brock was the fbi should know who the

referring to was placed. looters are, and where it's coming from. and if there are a few people starting it, these are probably people who have done it more if we zoom out a little bit than once. they should be able to apprehend further that looks like it might them and separate them from the be one of the -- might be a protesters. are they doing their job? shopping center near downtown and i want to tell you, it's miami, perhaps. because you see the arrows on unfortunate about the lootings. the floor. that probably is to direct shoppers around that center wherever it is. people take advantage of opportunities like this, to take things that don't belong to busy night in downtown miami. them. as i talk to some of the young people. they have a whole new deaf nipgs for looting. they say looting is a predatory let's make our way now to the heart of these protests to lending, and minority minneapolis, where the area neighborhoods where they're paying 300 and 400% on loans by where this police precinct once these payday lenders. stood. it's now a burned out shell. it's a predatory. there has been protesting for on and on and on. hours now. they have a different definition according to ali velshi. for it. he joins us with the latest on it's unfortunate that the what's going on there. we heard not too long ago the discussion and the information that we should be sharing with mayor of st. paul retracted a each other about where to go statement that the protesters from here is being diverted who were arrested were from out because of the other action. >> you mentioned daryl gates, he of town, out of state.

was the police chief during the what else has shifted in terms rodney king case and the riots of our understanding of what's that followed. i would like to believe that going on? i'm going to keep one head on a things have gotten at least somewhat better in los angeles. swivel here. the protest, the kerr few has lapd and l.a. county sheriffs gone into effect. have had their controversy since mostly everyone has taken a then. not to suggest that their seat. they've been advised to by organizers here in case there's an attempt to make arrest. departments are great to any there's no attempt to disburse extent. but do you think things are them at the moment. we're in front of the fifth getting better, at least in southern california. the relationship is getting precinct. the information he gave this better with the public in morning. anyway? >> let my say this, a lot of the mayor, the governor, they're what is going on, is not always sure that everybody who was involved in this protest in any reported. we don't get the information, negative way was out of the there is a demonstration going area. on in south los angeles about a killing that took place, just a it does seem they may have wrong couple years ago, and so while information. this is an entirely peaceful what we see is sporadic information about those who are

process. there has been looting and being killed at the hands of police, we don't get the full setting fire to property. picture. we don't know everything that's this is a larger gathering, everyone has stood up. going on. so all i can say is, obviously they were all seated. they have now stood up. they have closed the highways with this resistance -- with into the city, by the way, this kind of protesting, anyone coming from the suburbs evidently in the minds of can't get in. people, all across this country, you can get out, you can't get in. there's a black hawk helicopter things are not getting better, otherwise you wouldn't have this that is circling above us, and kind of protesting out in the you can see organizers behind streets in new york and in me. listen to this for a second. florida and california, all >> it's past 8:00 right now. over. i understand even in utah you have people who are protesting they can only arrest us if we're and resisting the police on sitting right here. these issues, evidently in the >> so they're telling people to minds of many people, things are sit down in the event there is not better. an arrest. >> congresswoman, over the last few days, we've heard a number the difference between tonight and last night, is that last of provocative comments from night there was a line of people and a line of police. president trump as per usual ase tonight there is no -- there are no police around here, there are police in that building over there. most racist chiefs that ever that is the fifth police walked the earth. the president also said today. he said this today, let me play

precinct. there are police over there. there's a black hawk helicopter a quick sound byte. flying at fairly low altitude. that's a national guard chopper. >> maga is make america great people are moving away. again. this is interesting, they're by the way, they love african-american people. moving away from the precinct they love black people. where they've been protesting. maga loves the black people. they have been here for hours and hours and hours. i heard that maga wanted to be but at this point they have there, a lot of maga wanted to decided that they're going this way. i don't know whether that means be there. they love our country. they're avoiding a confrontation >> okay, crib sheet for any with police or what they're doing is doing what they did white people out there, if you're playing the home game. last night. staying on the move so the curb please don't refer to us as the few cannot be enforced. black people. there has been no conversation that's worth at least ten points here about civil disobedience. and may save your life. there is a call for the other tell me whether you think the influence of the president is the primary factor, is it an three police to be arrested. abetting factor. since the curfew has closed, the these things that have gone on entire crowd has stood up and are not new how much of this do are moving away from the fifth you put directly on the district police station. again, we do not know. president and how much of this do you know where everyone's headed to? is deeper systemic stuff we haven't dealt with yet?

>> forest lake, calhoun. toward uptown. >> the reason for moving away? >> i have no idea? >> this president has been >> are you planning on going responsible for dog whistling to much of that constituency that inside? >> i'm following the crowd. follows him. and saying to them, get tough, >> have you seen anything that and telling police officers to hasn't been peaceful today? >> no, it's all been peaceful. be rough on those that they arrest. he has a -- basically undermined >> so it's what we did glean, john lewis, one of our civil rights leaders and talk about what most people have told us. most people have come up to us him. and basically said, we live in and they've been listening to our coverage. are you telling people that it's rat holes and on and on and on. peaceful. we have been saying so. he is disparaged by so many even the nights where there's ways. been looting, it's been mostly that conversation about loving blacks is so disingenuous, he's peacef such a liar. and yes i think he's emboldened those who are racist, he's peaceful. [ crowd chanting ] emboldened police officers to be nastier, to be tougher to do things like the choke hold. i believe all of that. when he comes out and makes statements like this, he has no

credibility. i don't think anyone's paying >> my name is chad morgan, any attention at all about what canton, ohio, i'm 100% from this president is like. many people think he likes the minneapolis. they want to make their voice confrontation. heard. >> have you heard from anyone because he wants to be a dictator, he wants to have about what's going on? martial law. where you're going here? this has been whispered for months, particularly in minority >> we're going to where we're communities. that the president wants to have martial law, he wants to take heard. we're not heard being silent. over and have police control. they heard us, you reported -- so we don't trust him, we don't they reported when we were believe him, and he needs to burning stuff. you're probably the only one just shut down and stop what he's doing and get out of the i've seen walking with this peaceful protest. you show that, that's your job. >> thank you, sir. way and let people try to come up with solutions. thank you, sir, i appreciate it. >> it is worth noting that >> does not seem like anyone here is looking for a federal law forbids the military confrontation with police from performing domestic law tonight. and i have to tell you. that is what i have been seeing. enforcement in the united states. there is an exception for while it's been interesting to see the fires and the looting. i have been reporting the last insurrection, but i don't believe that's what this is. few nights that most people if anything, these folks are involved in these protests are trying to improve the not involved in that. government. that's at least what the law they're involved in peaceful says. i wonder where you want this to prosets with signs about

go from here. i mean, these protests are justices, about arrests, about eventually going to end sooner or later, the problem of the way remembering george floyd's name. about i can't breathe. that law enforcement engages that is fundamentally what's with communities of color is happening. we are now moving. this is a crowd of 7,000 people still here. who have left the precinct. what is your best case outcome they have made a decision to not get into confrontation with from this? >> well, let me just say that authorities at the district. they're walking to a church. there is not going to be a best we don't know what church that is, but we're walking with them, case outcome until justice is and we're going to find out exactly what's going on, joshua. done. there's not going to be a best >> i'm trying to figure out case outcome as long as this president is providing the kind where you are. it looks like you're walking of undermining of opportunities west from where the fifth to get rid of this kind of precinct is? you were in an area -- if you are where i think you are. injustice. there's not going to be an you're in an area of minneapolis outcome that you or i or others that is very multiethnic, there's a somali american would be comfortable with, will feel good about, until justice, we have a president who owns the enclave like a half mile from you. and i've seen that area in attorney general. previous coverage, i had the you have a president who is pleasure to report there a while nothing but a lap dog for the back. i heard that area was very president of the united states. not representing the people.

transitional, people that moved you have a president who has into the neighborhood both taken part in -- diversified it and improved it. i wonder if you've heard anything from people about what happens after all of this. [ inaudible ] we don't believe we can have about the aftermath, recovery, justice with this administration, and with the way cleanup. or are people washing their he's basically urging violence hands of it. >> your characterization of the and confrontation. and so we need to get rid of area is correct. it's a transitional area for him. i tried to convince america a somali americans, it's the long time ago that he should be largest somali american population in the united states. impea impeached. however, that did not happen, many of whom are wage earners, and so now we're stuck with him. some of whom are business and this is a president that owners. some of them are frustrated believes he has the power and because their restaurants have the authority to do anything he been looted, but they are wants to do. as a matter of fact he's a want fundamentally part of this crowd as well. you can see on the sides. to be dictator. he loves putin and kim jong-un, you can see people on the sides he loves the way they have supporting the march. can't really hear you right now, control over his people. joshua, i'm going to send it to in so many words highs said so. you for a second. we need to elect a new leader. we need to get rid of him. >> ali velshi for us, the crowd if we're looking for justice now. is on the move away from the if we're looking for them to go out and do what they should do

fifth precinct police station in to arrest those officers, who minneapolis. we'll see which way they are heading. we heard that gentleman who said stood there with the police officer who had his knee on the he's from canton, ohio. neck of this man. he's not from minnesota but he's that's not going to happen. it is not happening. here to be part of the peaceful if you think the protesters can protests in minneapolis. it's not been quite so peaceful just go away without us getting in los angeles, and that's where suggestions. there is not going to be good we find aaron mcglocklin outcomes now. >> that's california tonight. the lapd has mobilized the congresswoman maxine waters. entire police department, they glad to have you with us. basically told all the officers, be ready to be called in at a thank you very much. moment's notice. where are you right now and we heard earlier from ali what's going on? velshi that the crowd was moving >> joshua, they're mobilizing from the fifth precinct down to the entire police force, all gather elsewhere. and now we are hearing that tear 10,000 personnel are being gas has been fired. pulled off their holidays. let's listen in for a second. their weekends. because of the kind of violence we've seen unfold here. it's going on some -- into the fourth night potentially of violence here. in los angeles. people out on the streets.

a peaceful situation. protesters here on this >> nobody was doing anything. intersection standing off with the line of police. they pulled in, they opened fire. they're aiming their fire now, police helicopters overhead, in they're working toward us. stark contrast to what we saw playing out an hour ago, as >> step back, get back, get police were trying to push back. you're hit, he's hit. protesters down the street step back. i got it, i got it, i got it. firing rubber bullets with tear we got gas here. back up, back up, back up, back gas. up. they are now moving toward us. another woman in her leg, they they are now moving toward us. were being treated on the side of the road as this unbelievable >> they're shooting, guys. push has unfolded. put your helmets on. as you can see back there, they >> miguel, stay with me. managed to clear that stretch of boulevard, and here this we got gas. situation is a presence now. the lapd has declared this an continuing to fire at us. unlawful assembly, which gives there we go, here's a gas the protesters here two choices. canister. either disburse or get arrested. there has been no provocation that is what it means when an joshua. there was nothing that happened unlawful assembly is declared in whatsoever, the police pulled the city of los angeles. into this intersection at this point we have not seen unprovoked right into the middle any arrests from police so far. of the crowd, split the crowd,

started firing in both >> it looks like on the left directions. they now have fired at us. side of our screen, we're looking at pictures from is anyone here yet. downtown los angeles. where you are looks like beverly the gentleman next to us got hit. and that is what has happened. and hayworth, i think. this is the first interaction we you're a few weeks away from cbs television city, not far from have seen tonight with the police. those are police with national you. it looked like earlier there was guard, they continue to move. a crowd trying to get into one of the gates, the beverly >> guys, put your masks on, the boulevard gate of cbs television gas is coming in now. city. this is where they tape the and that's what the situation price is right, the late late is. they have -- unclear what their show, the young & the restless. did they get into cbs television intentions are. city? whether they're standing or it looked hairy for a while. moving in. >> i'm going to shoot at this >> from that aerial footage, it looks like police were guy. >> they're going to shoot. successful in their attempts to >> what are they going to shoot? >> they're going to shoot you? push that crowd back. we have been unable to reach cbs >> no. >> do we need to come back to you in a minute. at this point for comment on let me give you a second to what unfolded literally on their catch your breath. you do what you need to do. door stop. over that way, you can see they let me talk through what we're looking at now. managed to torch a police car down that way.

they vandalized a furniture shop based on where they are now, the over this way. crowd ali velshi was with they and we did witness protesters throwing bottles at police as well. this all started peacefully, it look like they're near the started around midday at a park avenue of franklin and nicklet. not far from here. people gathered to protest the they will run into nikko let death of george floyd. mall, which is downtown it quickly devolved. minneapolis, presumably, the protest crowd will be heading these young people out here for back there. if we could go back to those the most part, young men and pictures in a second. women want to have their voices let me talk to you about some of heard, want to make they're the people we saw on that line. points. and they're doing it in a sometimes violent fashion. among the folks you saw firing tear gas canisters, some of them >> aaron mclaughlin for us. in black uniforms. those are minnesota state patrol. the ones in the drab uniforms, it's been a night of protests in those are minnesota national guard. minnesota national guard has and around the white house. been tasked with backing up law lafayette square was pretty heated over the last few hours, enforcement. so they're not supposed to be and certainly last night. what's it like tonight? making arrests, per say. their job is to be a force >> joshua, it's tense, you may have caught the crowd of people multiplier for the mission that the minnesota state patrol has. rushing past me, in that initially the national guards introduction here. this protest is organic, it's mission was to guard government grown and shrank and moved buildings like the state

around the outer barrier of the capitol, the bureau of criminal white house. tourists notice lafayette park apprehension, the ramsey county as the park north of the white public safety building. house. if you've ever had your picture st. paul is in ramsey county. taken in front of the white and to assist the fire house, now it's a police perimeter. department so fire trucks could get in and put out the fires we one of several agencies that do saw yesterday. midnight yesterday, tim wall police and washington, d.c.. the main group of protesters behind me here, have been in retasked the minnesota national guard to assist law enforcement. this uneasy stand-off for the and this is part of that last three hours or so here. across makeshift barricades. retasking. it is one of the few times that law enforcement has been called protesters chanting all of the out in the united states. usual chants, and occasionally certainly with the assistance or throwing water bottles and at least the knowledge of the fireworks, which when they go federal government, governor wall says he had been in off startle everyone, and you conversation with the defense see those rushes. secretary. and that the defense secretary like what we just saw here was aware of what's going on. today. the other event in the last 45 the national guardsmen used in minutes or so was the return of various ways, sometimes to the president. who a lot of this is aimed at, support civil rights protesters the federal government and the or people who are integrating federal response from the segregated schools. president. and sometimes to do things like when the marine one helicopters this. again, you're looking at live flew over head, the president pictures from minneapolis. this looks like the group had was booed and cursed by a crowd. been moving north from the fifth

>> we're hearing from chicago's police precinct up nicolette mayor lori lightfoot about what's happening in the city avenue. making their way in the there. >> i watched as protesters direction of downtown ali, are hurled not just words but you all right? >> i got you, i got you. yeah, you can come to me. projectiles at our police department. br bottles of water, urine and lord knows what else. >> are you okay? i saw protesters armed with >> yeah, you can come to me. >> what's happening. shovels, bats, hammers and metal us through what's going on. >> joshua, i have you back here. pipes. >> we got hit with teer gas, it now, to be clear. i've marched in a few protests was that fast. we have had a good sense of when in my day. but neither i nor anyone that i was ever with saw the need to it's going to come. bring weapons in order to lift there was no warning whatsoever. up our voices and express our they pulled into the station, jumped out of the car and they first amendment rights. now, i want to give praise to just came in and started those here in chicago and across shooting. we were very close, we weren't anywhere near the front of the the nation who have come crowd, we were maintaining together peacefully to express security protocol, we were

probably in the last third of their righteous anger and their the crowd. grief and to make their voices and they intercepted the crowd, heard as is their first they broke the crowd. when put us very close to the police and they fired on us. amendment right. but i want to express my there were flash bangs that came disappointment. and really my total disgust at out. they actively aimed their guns at people. i will put my career on this. the number of others who came to there was nothing at any stage today's protests armed for all in the protest that was not -- >> i will tell you this, i've out battle. been here for three days, i have you don't come to a peaceful not seen this level of aggression at all. protest with a bowling ball or a we have sirens now, they are hammer or a shovel. moving now, they are moving or a baseball bat. closer it appears. you don't come to a peaceful they have split the crowd. protest with bottles of urine to half of the march was in front and has moved forward. throw at police officers. you are now hearing sirens, >> i applaud the vast majority there are people moving in, i'm not sure. of individuals who came here to make true and lasting change is that is the situation now. peacefully. to the rest of you, i'm here to when asked miguel to take a call you out for your quick spin around we have protesters now moving closer. recklessness. and for your obscene disrespect the police continue to fire.

to the righteous cause that you >> it sounds like there's chanting do it, do it. are trying to hijack. when you or anyone behaves in like they're daring the state this way, we all lose. troopers to fire on them again? >> guys, i got hit. hold on. by giving the very same forces of oppression that we are fighting against, the false >> let's come back out for a minute. ali velshi is standing by on the validation that they crave. scene with us. i want to announce that effective at 9:00 p.m. tonight we will be imposing and pushing back the crowd not far. enforcing a curfew from 9:00 the team is making their way p.m. to 6:00 a.m. until further toward downtown minneapolis. it seems that something may have hit ali in the knee or in the notice. i also want to applaud our leg. we'll give him a minute to police officers for maintaining their professionalism and compose himself. this is something of what we may strength, despite blatant and have expected. often frequent provocations. we heard from governor walls to the men and women of our police force, i want to say i this morning. state officials said they were know you are exhausted, and i determined to regain order on know you're risking injury and the streets of minneapolis. illness to do your job. nbc's morgan chesky is also on i want you to be clear that your

city stands with you. those streets. are you seeing what ali is seeing. we can only work when we work together. >> we are just a block away from we are the great american city of chicago. the fifth precincts. and in chicago, we look out for you're seeing patrol using tear each other. we get each other's backs, and gas. as you can see, a just deployed we keep each other safe. that's what we've always done smoke canister. we had several hundred if not and that's what we will always 1,000 people gathered in this do. we will protect our city. intersection just about 20 and we will protect each other. minutes ago. and then the state police we are proud of our long legacy arrived, they gave the order to of speer holding all peaceful disburse, they gave the crowd about a half hour to leave on protest movements that have their own. but when they didn't leave this shaped and reshaped this nation area, now the state police generation after generation. started moving up little by and i will not let criminals little, using tear gas. take over our city and shame the not everyone has that at all. majority of us. we are better than them. you can see state police running through that gas. and the disgusting display that trying to move this crowd away. they put on today. and i want to be clear not here.

not now, not ever in chicago. from a numbers standpoint, they superintendent brown will now have tripled the amount of law address you. enforcement in minneapolis >> a curfew will be in effect in tonight. than they did the prior two or three. so much damage happened. chicago starting at 9:00 p.m. and you can see people making their way away from this street chicago time and ending at 6:00 a.m. until further notice. right now. that building is just one of the she also called out people who came as she put it armed for all dozens that have been burned over the past several nights. out battle with bowling balls, a in the meantime, state police continue to make their way up hammer, a shovel, a baseball this street. we're going to continue to move bat, bottles of urine thrown at this way. police officers. you are looking at images of peaceful protests that took place including across the chicago river and around the lake shore of chicago. those protests were be set by at we're going to keep moving back. least a few people who did not that's the sound of a flash intend to protest peacefully. bang, we're going to keep on here are the scenes we saw walking back. earlier in chicago. follow the police orders here. plenty of us to talk about with our panel. an activist and the keep going that. watch out. as you can see, police and state

patrol. we haven't seen any national guardsmen yet. we know there's at least 1,000 that arrived here today in minneapolis. let's keep moving. right now. they made a point. the governor said today they were not going to allow the damage that they've seen over the past several days here, and that's why we're seeing this more aggressive position taken by law enforcement than we've seen in the prior days. let me catch my breath. you can see. we know the st. paul police department helping out tonight. i want people to see this, this is the sight we have not seen in any form. we have not seen this kind of presence the past several days. and so we anticipated this kind of response whenever that curfew

was enforced. >> don't shoot. >> whenever that curfew was made yesterday at 8:00 p.m. we're still walking, still walking. this is certainly -- this is proof that -- >> don't shoot. >> law enforcement tonight not taking any chances. >> are you okay? >> yes. >> okay. all right. >> press, press, press, press, press. >> it's okay. press, press. >> i got it. i got the camera. >> i can't hear. >> watch out for that. >> here. >> there. >> all good.

>> thanks. >> your phone's on the ground. you get your phone back? you good? >> yeah. yeah. >> okay. are we still live? are we still on right now? >> you're still live, morgan. >> okay. we're still live. we're still livement oka. hey, paul, we got to walk this way, brother. flip around. be easy, brother. okay. all right. so we're now two to three blocks away from the fifth precinct of minneapolis police. they are expanding that footprint by the second, and they are not hesitating to use teargas, flash bangs, whatever they need to do, to keep these crowds moving. i want to turn the camera this way. that massive crowd has now gathered here, and it appears that they're not moving. we are going to slowly make our way over this -- this direction. stay with us. here we are.

we're in a parking lot. you made a point, earlier, the roads into minneapolis have been shut down on the interstates. however, people are allowed to leave. and that's the message tonight, made very clear by the law enforcement here, you are not allowed to stay here after this curfew. but you are absolutely welcome to leave and get out of here. and they're certainly driving that point home, using the method -- using the tools at their disposal right now. it appears, at this point, that -- little space between us and law enforcement. paul, let's just go back. let's just go back. yep. kind of get our bearings. i want to go over where these people are. you can see police not advancing on us anymore. over there, beyond that -- and, paul, let's walk over here to the crowd. they all have their hands up. i'm curious to see kind of what the reaction is because, again, we have not seen this kind of

response from law enforcement, really, since this all began. and so you can see those people kind of standing there, their hands up. i anticipate that state patrol line, they are over here on this block. they should be making their way up. yep. you're starting to see that crowd move. and we know that -- we know that -- woo -- this -- these are people that came to peacefully protest. and the majority of them, at least during the day that we met, were from minneapolis. >> they're shooting at reporters, too. be safe. >> we know about 20% of them, roughly, traveled in from the suburbs. at least, those that i spoke to today. all right. we're going to -- you can see -- you can see that crowd. state patrol in the distance. and you can start to hear, if you listen closely, i'll be

quiet, the sound of sirens. that has not been heard for a very long time. >> they're coming from behind. >> they're coming from behind! over there. >> we are seeing police start to roll in here. ohio, wisconsin, and also minnesota. states that have decided to deploy the national guard in response to protests. that, those states' governors believed, would become violent. from the report we got tonight, ali velshi, the only violence is coming from those in uniform. this is not the spirit of what we heard from minnesota's governor and from the state's law enforcement leaders earlier today. the spirit of what we heard from

them, earlier today, was that they were concerned about the presence of people who would come in, from other states, from other parts of the country, who would be causing trouble, who would be causing violence. who would exploit these peaceful protests, to make them violent. according to the reporting we've gotten from ali velshi and morgan chesky, the protests were peaceful. and it seems like the only shots that have been fired, the only trouble that has been caused, the only unrest that's been caused, has been by people in uniforms and riot gear. this is very different from the spirit of what governor tim walz said. although, they were clear that they wanted the streets cleared after the curfew so that they could focus on keeping people from doing those things that caused so much trouble last night. what you were seeing were officers from the minnesota state patrol, backed up by the minnesota national guard, using

crowd dispersal methods to try to push people back from where they were. as i was following along with morgan, it looked like he was making his way up nicolet avenue. generally, into the direction of where we saw ali velshi moving. will be interesting to see which way those crowds go, and which way law enforcement may push them. there is much more for us to discuss tonight. this is what's happening in many cities across america. let's hand over coverage, now, to chris jansing, who will take us further. good evening, chris. >> good evening, joshua, thank you very much. and we are going to continue to watch these scenes as they unfold because it has been very dramatic. it has been dangerous. and it has been exactly what police said they were going to do. be more active at a time when nightfall is settling over minneapolis. and ahead of the 8:00 p.m. curfew, there were interstates in minneapolis and st. paul that shut down.

thousands of people, still on the streets. and police, as you can see, taking action. the death of george floyd, continuing to spark another night of protests here but, elsewhere around the country but, this is, indeed, the center of it all. tensions have been flaring throughout the evening. in spite of the fact that, throughout much of the day, our reporters on the ground have shown how people have been peaceful, how people have actually come into minneapolis to try to clean up from three nights, previously, of violence. but we do have eight states now, georgia, kentucky, wisconsin, colorado, ohio, utah, washington, and texas, joining minnesota. and you are looking at these live pictures from minneapolis now. calling in their national guard to respond to these protests. this has been an -- a day, also, when attention has turned to

people who have come from outside of minnesota. who have come outside of minneapolis. they have made up the so far. minneso minnesotans have over the death of george floyd. but people from all over the country, officials say, from various ideologies, representing a patchwork of different groups have increasingly turned up as the protests have grown in size and, in many cases, thein level violence. let me bring in jonathan kay pardon, msnbc analyst and also columnist for "the washington post." jonathan, let me get your reaction to what we're seeing tonight unfolding. >> what we're seeing unfolding is a country in chaos. i don't know if you remember this. i went to college in minnesota.

i went to college at carlton, which is about 45 minutes south of minneapolis. so i spent a lot of time in minneapolis. i have been through that area where george floyd was -- was murdered. more than a few occasions. and so, to see a state that i know and that i love, and a city especially, minneapolis, that i love, undergo something like this from the murder of george floyd, to the destruction of some people who have no regard for the community that feels under siege. to seeing the governor and the mayor of minneapolis and st. paul. but, particularly, of minneapolis, feeling compelled and duty bound to call on the national guard. for the governor to feel duty bound to bring in the nation guard to restore or try to

restore order in minneapolis isd tell from listening to the officials today, was something they r saw in the -- the television coverage coming from morgan, in realtime, those police officers and the national guardsmen, they're not messing around. and as -- and, as joshua pointed out, you know, the governor did say, many times, that they wanted the folks off the street by 8:00 p.m. eastern. >> so much for that. we are watching, again, a very intense scene in minneapolis right now. we have seen teargas dispersed. we have seen officials move in. we have seen various levels of law enforcement trying to disperse the crowd.

this is an nbc news special report. i'm chris jansing, bringing you a special report on nbc news and msnbc. another night of protests across the country. many of which may face orders to disperse very soon. a curfew took effect in minneapolis one hour ago. but, in just the last couple of minutes, we have seen police there firing teargas at protestors, heightened tensions in a city that is now in its fourth night of protests following the death of george floyd. and minneapolis is where we find msnbc
