. >> the force that was on lake street that arrived yesterday morning with the safety patrol they secured their locations throughout the day supporting the state patrol, continued their operations, the recommendation from the police officers that they were in direct support of were to leave the area immediately so they followed those directions and their police brothers and sisters out of the area. our team went and occupied in assembly area where they reconstitute, reorganize, prepare for a following mission, they remain and were redirected in support of the deferment of public safety which i mentioned, where that force was relocated to and remained. >> we are hearing reports that it is not only the criminal element, some white supremacists have come to minnesota and are causing the destruction. are there white supremacists causing destruction in the city? >> unconfirmed reports, we have intel from all the different agencies, i can't confirm this. my suspicion is yes, it is worse than that, the cartels are trying to take advantage of the chaos. that is what the situation is, highly coord

there's a-- a large hispanic community, latino community that lives along lake street, and much of it now is destroyed. a lot of these businesses that have taken generations to be built were gone in the night of rioting. >>reenivasan: have you seen the size of the peaceful portions of the protests stay the same, increase, decrease, the type of people who are coming? >> they appear to be the same. there was a protest just before sunset, before the curfew yesterday on interstate 35w through downtown minneapolis. they marched, they closed down the freeway, as you have seen in past protests. and that dispersed, and people walked away. and, on thursday evening, there was a similar protest tside the hennepin county government center in downtown minneapolis, demanding the prosution of the police officers involved. again, that was a peaceful protest. the actions that you're seeing with looting andioting, the governor, other authorities here say this is a separate group of people. many of them do not live here, and they're coming in to foment chaos because they see the tension that has built a

people out there on lake street in 3:00 hurt the people. they weren't the people that wanted to mourn the loss of a friend, a relative and a neighbor. and then they saw the national guard, minnesota state patrol and this team moving down the street. vast majority of them did what we thought they would do. they left. there were a few that decided not to leave. that was a choice they get to make, but we had advised them what that choice would result in and we took action to respectfully and carefully take folks into custody as was necessary. and t was a very limited very structured and extremely disciplined approach in making those arrests. we are proud of the fact that despite what you have seen over the last few days, gas and cannisters and foggers, almost no chemical agent was necessary to be used last night. we did it the old-fashioned way. command presence, a uniformed presence and a clear intent to keep the peace, restore order and keep people safe. my cast today is a little different, having accomplished that mission and i think we hav

on lake street was george floyd. that's what we've got to get o out. >> reporter: governor, question to you and for the general. are you concerned that the civilian leadership of minneapolis, the police department. [indistinct] for the general, what are the limits? >> candidly i don't think this is a secret to anybody that the tension between the minneapolis police department and many of their communities is a pretty well-known thing. i'm certainly -- i don't know any way to express it other than that they have lost faith in them and felt that they were part of the problem. certainly seeing a uniformed minneapolis police officers knee on george floyd's neck on monday pretty much tells you where the public is thinking towards that. i don't think that you could think it was a mistake of who is leading that down there that i change the tone that was there. i'm concerned. i think it would be disingenuous. i know this is painful. it's hard. there's going to be recriminations. there's going to be going back and looking at

right hi right now i am in a neighborhood park in powder park right on lake street that. endured a lot of damage in the last few nights i came here because i got a message on facebook that our city count the city council member that represents this area along with a few other organizers were wanting to gather the neighborhood and come up with a plan to keep the neighborhood say i spoke with a few residents here in the crowd and they feel that if they feel very scared about what's happened in the last 4 nights in the city of minneapolis there are a laundry connell who is the 9th ward city council member pleaded with people in the crowd and said that immigrant businesses largely latino immigrant businesses that are on lake street are asking for the community's help they're asking for people to show up and and and keep guard as i drove around along lake street this morning to get to this meeting there were thousands of people cleaning up glass you know picking up trash so i think the mood right here here right now is one result and they also said that they are going to do ev

on lake street was george floyd. that's what we've got to get at. >> question for you and the general. first of all, are you concerned with the civilian leadership in minneapolis after the loss of control by the police department? and for the general -- >> candidly, i don't think this is a secret to anybody that the tension between the minneapolis police department and many of their communities is a pretty well known thing. i don't know any way to express it other than they had lost faith in them and felt they were part of the problem. certainly seeing a uniformed police officer's knee on george floyd's neck on monday pretty much tells you what the public is thinking towards that. i don't think you could think it was a mistake of who was leading that down there and that it changed the tone that was there. i am concerned. i think it would be disingenuous. i know this is painful, this is hard. there is going to be recriminations. there is going to be going back and looking at this as there should be. my top priority no

those of the demonstrators, they have appeared on lake street.ise and we are struggling to hear you a little bit and i am afraid we are what make i'm walking away. we're out of time too so we'll have to leave it there but thank you so much for talking to us and do try to stay safe for us. tim nelson, the reporterfor for us. tim nelson, the reporter for minnesota public radio, bring us a really valuable insight into what exactly is happening there on the streets of minneapolis. but is it from me. i'm lewis vaughan jones and this is it from me. i'm lewis vaughanjones and this is bbc news. goodbye. well, friday was a very warm day across the uk. in fact, the hot spot was scotland — temperatures got up to 28 degrees. and saturday in most parts of the uk will be every bit as warm — at least the low to mid 20s in most major towns and cities. it's been so reliable during the lockdown that the spring has ended up being the sunniest one on record, so this has been confirmed by the met office. now, high pressure is in charge of the weather across a large c

. >> this is just one sample of a number of fires that are burning here along lake street a very poplar street here. but this has really nothing to do. i should say the location of where the incident happened. it happens to be in proximity to the police precinct where those officers worked. but the fires and the looting spread for five miles and i'm probably close to the center of it right now. in fact, i'm just getting word that police are going to be lining up to protect firefighters for the most part until now they have just been allowing these buildings to burn. there has been several auto parts stores that have been damaged. there are also been several grocery stores that have been burned and certainly smoke and fire damage and i saw somebody walking down the street with what looked to be electronics. somebody else with a golf cart or golf bag. very active scene as police are letting daylight come up and hopefully some of these folks will go home. ainsley: all right. thank you so much, bill. let's bring in judge andrew napolitano fox news senior judicial analyst. what do you make o

news here is that the national guard is pretty far up lake street that's the street that's just behind me to to the west i'm sorry just right behind me and he said that he thinks that the national guard is going to do a kind of a military flanking tactic where they're going to draw the protesters in and and surround them so we'll see what happens this evening but you're right the curfew went into effect a little over an hour ago and people are still out on the streets although when i was bicycling my way over to this spot because i live in this neighborhood. to streets were empty i mean people or inside because behind all these businesses it's a residential neighborhood. allison give us some indication if you can when we we seeing shots of 2 guys being far protesters is that predominantly the state police that's doing that all has the national guard moved in yet. the national guard is here made when i talk to one national guard they said that they've been on site for this morning i don't know if you heard but just behind me there were some loud booms it's either them been national guar

i think we need to take a hard look about reinvesting, bringing lake street back. we're hoping there is insurance for these folks, different things we can do. but certainly getting our vitality back is one. let's go to theo. reporter: [inaudible] gov. walz: good. >> the first question, are they armed? yes, they are currently armed. a little background on that. yesterday, we received what i assessed was a credible threat, specifically to the minnesota national guard. that credible threat was made available to us by the fbi. i shared that with governor walz , along with my recommendation that i felt as though it was a credible threat, and as a result we should arm the minnesota national guard. governor walz concurred with me and authorized me to arm the minnesota national guard. what are the limits of their use of force? we traditionally do not talk about the use of force, because it is an operational issue, but i will tell you this. our guardsmen maintain the right to self-defense. i think that is where i'm going to leave it as it relates to the use of force for the

and fans and east of hiawatha, hundreds in lake street. crowds for thousand or more in downtown.e reassessed the assets we had, personnel that we had, to be as many of those as we could be at. did not even with the numbers that have enough officers and personnel to meet those operations successfully. we picked missions based on our capacity, focused on the fifth precinct area. with critical infrastructure, were being targeted, to hold those places of critical infrastructure as we speak. they were able to rally on that area to disperse the crowd and make what i am told is a neighborhood of 50 arrests. in excess of -- larger than the mobile field force we utilized last night to clear the hiawatha in the lake street area, actively engaged but the level of resistance we've seen tonight has increased exponentially. we have had officers shot at, what looks to be munitions targeted toward the officers, we are continuing to push that crowd east of hiawatha, the attempt to do was a did off of the streets to restore order there. we recognized as we do that continuing to hold the area, to m

right now i don't mind 27 to avenue and this is just a few blocks away from lake street a few blocks north of lake street where i was earlier in front of a bunch of buildings that were people were cleaning up right now i'm at the it's called the ivy arts building and it was home to a lot of artists studios a yoga studio a dance studio a paint shop this building has been nearly destroyed and gutted by fire and from some of the on peaceful protests that happened last week right behind me you see people dropping off groceries because we're not too far away from a grocery store that was also boarded up and looted last week so neighbors here and people for actually from all over like surrounding suburbs in minneapolis are dropping off groceries for residents here because the grocery store is closed i talked with one man who walked over here to get a bag of groceries some bread some milk a somali woman who needed some food for her children so they're getting it they're picking stuff up here so i talked with one of the a woman named molly who's yoga studio was here in this building she even

of lake street and crowds of thousand or more in downtown. we reassessed the assets that we had, personnel that we had, and redeployed to try to be at as many of those as we could be at, but we recognize that we simply did not -- even with the numbers that i'm talking about -- have enough officers and personnel to meet all of those missions safely and successfully. we picked missions based on our capacity. and those missions focused on downtown, nicolette and also focused on the fifth precinct area of nicolette and lake. we continue to hold our critical infrastructures around other places that we believed through good intel that were being targeted and would have been destroyed, and we have continued to hold those places of critical infrastructure even as we speak. at the nicolette and lake area, our field forces were able to rally around that area. they were able to disperse the crowd and make what i'm told is in the neighborhood of about 50 arrests. we have a mobile field force of in excess of 300 -- larger than the mobile field force that

and with that team together, we put together 250 to go in and restore order on lake street. we created a mission. it was very specific. i'm a mission-driven person. we talked about the fact that we were going to be respectful of people's rights and we were going to keep the peace and make people safe and we were going to follow our training and protocols by making a public announcement that they needed to clear the streets. and if they didn't clear the streets, arrests were imminent. we made those announcements repeatedly so no one would be confused about our intent or what we were there to do and we began to move to clear the streets. i will tell you that the vast majority of the great people of minnesota and the great people of minneapolis who are having their guts ripped out about the floyd murder and we'll call it a murder, that's what it looked like to me. i don't want to prejudice this from a criminal perspective. i'm calling it as i see it. they don't want people out there on the streets at 3:00 in the morning when we arrived. people out there on lake street in 3:00 i

well rikard even goes beyond that where you see the rioting take place on lake street in many haha that's my old neighborhood that's where i grew up i grew up right there in south minneapolis i grew up 2 blocks off a lake street which is the major street that everyone sees burning and the buildings down today show us this was very personal to me because it's a neighborhood i grew up in for 18 years until i joined the united states navy can you understand the frustration of. being felt with so many african-americans and others by the way because what i've seen in pictures is there are just as many non african-americans as there are african-americans in these protests who are furious of what they saw on tape with that police officer and they were at least one of those officers namely the one who had the need of the gentleman's neck prosecuted or at least charged immediately. well again i can answer that i can tell you this rick as a former governor and as a former mayor because i was mayor of brooklyn park minnesota there's sort of the war situation you can never imagine as an elected offic

lake and park. and nicolette and 31st street. so we continued our support to the minneapolis fire department, that we began yesterday. we also have over 100 soldiers currently at nicolette mall between hyatt hotel and grand street, supporting traffic-control points, in support of our state highway patrol. this morning at approximately 12:30, i believe, in cooperation and consultation with colonel matt langer, the commander of the minnesota state patrol, the governor authorized the minnesota national guard to increase our strength. the initial request was for 1,000 additional soldiers to support the department of public safety and our state highway patrol. governor waltz and i have looked at different ways that we're going to mobilize this force. and currently, what we're going to use are units that -- who would normally report to their normal training this weekend. my belief is that we will exceed the 1,000 mark. as the governor mentioned, this will be the largest deployment inside the state of minnesota in history. at the conclu

there simulating chanting there were some michigan dancers there i think it was also out on east lake street earlier this year excuse me westlake street earlier and people i mean. thousands of people out on the street with broom and paper with trash bags shovels cleaning up broken glass there were people here who did and water even near the 31st nicolette station you know. nicollette streets at people handing out water that was the salvation army was out i was also at the division of indian work which is a nonprofit here in minneapolis and they collected hundreds of bags of groceries to deliver to people because right now all of our grocery stores are pretty much closed i've seen a few open but pharmacies grocery stores are all close right now. so you got a sense of what the next few hours might bring. well you you know you have the governor on just earlier saying that he is going to have his you know deployed the full national guard that could be up to 10000 soldiers i was just reading from a press release from the national guard itself i think you know earlier today i was at a meeting in p

. >> so that force that was on lake street arrived yesterday morning with the minnesota state patrol. they secured their location throughout the day. this evening in support of the state patrol they continued their operations. there came a point this evening where the recommendation from the police officers they were in direct support of were to leave the area and leave the area immediately and they followed those directions and followed their police brothers and sisters out of the area. our team then went and reoccupied an assembly area where they would reorganize and prepare for a follow on mission. the force never left minneapolis. they remained in minneapolis. they have been redirected in support of the department of public safety. the mission that i mentioned is where the force was relocated to. they remain there. >> we are hearing reports that it is not only the criminal element that was here but now white supremacists have come here and are causing destruction. >> the unconfirmed reports, and we are trying to get that. we have intel from all of the different agencies. i can con

on lake street. my job is to make sure that tonight, that the community is safe and that our team is ready to keep it safe.eep it >> my name is matt langer and i have the honor and privilege of serving as chief of the state patrol. details herehash the provided and the role of the state patrol. i was thinking about what to say this week. difficult is the first word to come to mind and it does not represent every thing that has happened this week well enough, but it represents the challenges that that the minnesota state patrol has faced as we have worked hard to combat the lawlessness, the dangerous behavior and of the criminal activity that has occurred in the city of minneapolis and other places. specifically, last night, because as you have heard, between midnight and 1:00 a.m. the governor asked the state patrol to lead an event in the city to quell the unrest around the third precinct. there are many challenges in that area. wasof the main challenges there were fires set and attend minneapolis r

a lot of people were boarding up their windows along east lake street.ple are really angry and people are still really scared. ands at the corner of 29th lake street earlier. heavy minnesota state patrol presence. a woman was confronting them and yelling at them that they were out here protecting -- she expected the same kind of protection for her son, her nephew that they were doing to businesses on lake street. definitely a sense of anger. a sense of raw emotion right now in the city. we are in the middle of a pandemic, where there has been over 100,000 deaths related to covid-19 in the country. people are feeling -- i think that just adds to the sense of urgency and fear here. history ofas a racially charged conflicts between the police and people in the community. this is just a tipping point. this is something they feel like something needs to be done. that is what i am hearing from a lot of people on the streets today. anchor: police across the u.s. have condemned the actions of the four officers in minneapolis over the death of george floyd. it is

the destruction continues as you walk along lake street in the loop of chicago. the cleanup is also going on swiftly. this is a street cleaner. it's only been a couple hours since this area cleared and they have got about a dozen sanitation trucks up the road. they are making their way this way as well as leaf blowers to try to clear all this debris and glass and other stuff that's left all over the sidewalks and inside of these businesses. it's been indiscriminate. we have seen mom and pop shops. this looks like a cards and stationary store. we have seen neiman marcus. a nike store. there is a subway and a dunkin donuts. just about everywhere you look you see destruction and graffiti. you don't see protesters because they apparently made their way to another part of the city. rick: this has to be heartbreaking for you. >> it is. i'm not from here. i only moved here a year ago. this city is a beautiful place. we are one block from the beautiful chicago river. not too far from the lakefront. the magnificent mile is world famous for its shopping. instead we are seei

lake city, utah. look at that. look at the streets of salt lake city. and as i said, atlanta, georgia, out-of-control last night. it is unbelievable to see what is happening in almost every major city in this country and still -- heads up, heads up, we're hearing from salt lake. and still, i am waiting for a call for calm, something from the leadership in this country. where is it? there is atlanta. this is what's happening on the streets of atlanta right now. where's the call for calm? where is the leadership? so far, nothing. as all of this plays out, as many cities in america are burning. cnn's paul brook ham mond takes us to the streets of los angeles. take us there, paul. what are you see something. >> reporter: we talked into the groh, the upscale walking mall. right over here, the blis police both was on fire. all of a sudden look what happened here. there was apocalyptic. they jumped inside and began looting this nordstrom. go ahead, walk over here and take a look inside. so we saw these looters, leaving, some am them with plastic bags full of c

that put in all of the work to build lake street to build community so minnesotans you must stay in place tonight. the governor activated the state's national guard its 1st full mobilization since weld war 2 throughout the night dozens of protesters were arrested. many other cities across the country also imposed curfews the sunderland's declared a state of emergency after incidents of looting one national retail chain is temporarily shutting store was in several states. many protesters hope the lawlessness will not drown out the message. a lot of people are trying to change the subject focus on the right to work with the city with a lot less i want to parse it out so he had to come out here we had to show 2 that we were willing to stand up and fight for what we desire this is nothing if you started with the visiting team appearance and lamp was a great way to defeat israel it's not just them it's all of the same stuff save their names we are sick and tired of this injustice in our system to all of us to stop. the outrage is spreading as demonstrators confront the institutions that they s

police protection for the fire trucks are here to take out fires along the streets here this is lake street pretty much every store is boarded up and the store owners are staying in front of their stores or in this course with baseball bats and what have you just to be prepared for the worst if the worst is happening stuff and so what is the plan right now to try to get this situation under control. the plan this is a very good question the governor said that the national guard will be deployed and . from how it looks like here local authorities are actually really in need and the community here is the need to have some added security patrolling the streets perhaps tomorrow i haven't seen any national guard personnel and so for now however that's what authorities say well it's going to happen the government has as you know declared an emergency so a national guard will show up probably in a few hours if they break tomorrow who knows but i really need to say that you know this is a really hard blow for this community because of course you know we're in this mess for a coronavirus everybody k

lake street has been remarkable if you are trying to do a live shadow or a report, we had car fires, one after another exploding. gunshots in the air. you saw a t-mobile getting looted, and a footlocker being looted, some of them in cars and we traced it back to here, i will no star doing next-door, what is going on in there? are you robbing the store? >> for liquor. >> what do you think about what is going on? >> i think that this is a little bit too much. most of these people did not even participate in the protests. it is like a cover-up just to get. >> they are using this as a cover-up? >> yes, this is just -- >> are you concerned about your safety? >> know, this is my first time out here. i was driving in my car for the past two days. so this is my first time actually being out here. >> what is your impression when you look around and see what is going on? >> this is just not even part of the protests. most of it is not. it is out here, getting free stuff. >> shannon: steve harrigan, talking with a young woman who said she thinks a lot of what she is seeing where you are is just

lake streets the police designed zones where they cleared protesters out of those zones and the and the state. the national guard part and national guard part guard has the. job to secure perimeter so just seconds ago before we started our life so with you guys yes there were national guard humvees and troops right a year securing the perimeter and if you look further walk behind me the next line is police and in all fairness those guys are a little nervous too it's not every day that you have to clear protesters from our existing curfew i think so we got the taste. a little bit of being back and coming our way but everything is fine and i just wanted to share that with everybody this is the reality here in minneapolis right now police is organized and determined to enforce this curfew with the help of the national guard and that's what they're doing they as i said half designed zones which they work through clearing those zones of protesters who would not obey by the curfew. steffen since you have pain in minneapolis it seems like there's been a building on fire and trouble is being no

>> these are the same protesters we were with about a mile away down at the lake street mitchell bridgewe have arrived at the third precinct. this precinct burned two nights ago, the area hardest hit. police have come up to the front of the protesters. give us a look. jump on up there, pete. you can see them with their heads up. they have been completely peaceful. they want to have their voices heard. clearly they have had fair warning. they knew if they were out tonight they would face police. they have prepared for this. they are very organized. young people put this scene together and they want to walk the streets of minneapolis and have their voices heard. clearly police -- i don't see where the police have gone. it looks like they have moved off. down the side streets we see no police. it was stunning there was such a heavy presence on that side of the bridge and they fired huge volleys of tear gas canisters to move the protesters off the bridge and allowed them to walk down lake street. that is the burned out remnants of the third precinct that was the initial focal point of so mu

southbound areas around lake street, we have a closure in san francisco.e recommend these areas to get around. they are closed until 7:00 so you will see some brake lights. it is a little busier and then there are still closures in place on a highway near mountain house . they are hoping to have this opened by 6:00. we will keep you updated. traffic control is in place and this is from an overnight accident involving a bigger area. that is a look at the morning drive. let's check your forecast and say hello to mary. >>> good morning to you. we're looking at a gorgeous golden glow with the camera as we look east around mount diablo and for the bay bridge and the east bay. it is a pretty site on tuesday. we are looking at temperatures in the 40s and 50s. concord and oakland are in the 50s. low 40s are in santa rosa. here is what you can expect, mainly clear skies today and then through our afternoon, more sunshine is expected with daytime high's about 5 degrees above average for this time of year and even warmer on wednesday into thursday and by friday our l

particularly on lake street in the area of the third precinct. they held their ground. they had their m4 and m16, some of them had clips, some of them did not. we saw the national guard vehicles, there were humvees with mounts for weapons on the top, but no weapons on the tops. and then after 8:00 and the announcement was made, we saw the presence of the national guard, and we saw them back up. and then we saw them back up again. we seldom continue to backup into the area of highway 55 bridge. they stopped for a little while. a bunch of smoke came out and by the time the smoke cleared, by the time the protesters had clear the area, the presence of the national guard was just no longer there and you did not see the troopers with the state patrol either. >> rick: mike, i know you been to plenty of these. one more question in terms of personal safety and the level of violence, those brazenness of this particular amount of demonstrators, how would you compare it? >> it is probably a little worse than we have seen in other places. mostly because there is just so much chaos,

i live between lake street and california street on 17th avenue. as a neighbor i wanted to say that i see this project. it has been held up for various reasons. i don't understand why it is stopped for so many years. i want to echo what the first caller's sentiment has been. not only am i speaking on behalf of myself but on behalf of other neighbors. we feel these stopped projects make no sense for our community. additionally, it is my understanding the planning department has supported this project, much the project sponsor or the developer has done what they needed to do to work with the planning department, and if that is the case, it seems to me that i as a san francisco citizen would like to support the planning department in doing their job. they have done their job and the project is proper. this should be moving forward rather than stalling the way it has been for god knows how long. it is an eyesore. that is all i wanted to say. thank you very much. >> we will go to the next caller. 4288. >> would you like to speak in public comment? >> ye
