A Minnesota police department denied accusations from critics who believe they deployed undercover officers to undermine protests happening in Minneapolis.
Why would an actual person protesting Floyd’s murder, do this just to make the rest of the protest look bad?”
St. Paul Police denied the man with the hammer was one of their officers.
Minneapolis has been engulfed by demonstrations since George Floyd died on Monday night, after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin pressed a knee into his neck.
“What the world has witnessed since the killing of George Floyd on Monday has been a visceral pain, a community trying to understand who we are and where we go from here,” Walz said.
