Fox News
The Minneapolis City Council in a near-unanimous vote Friday approved a resolution calling on law enforcement to stop using tear gas, rubber bullets and other nonlethal munitions during protests, according to reports.
Minneapolis was also bracing for potential unrest when the Derek Chauvin murder trial concludes. The former Minneapolis police officer is accused in the police-custody death of George Floyd. Council Member Jeremiah Ellison claimed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and police have condoned "indiscriminate assaults, gassing, and arrests of protesters" just to protect a police station, FOX 9 of Minneapolis reported. Ellison added that he didn't believe the munitions were useful in dispersing protesters.More Related News
