CROWDS ARE BACK ON THE
STREETS PROTESTING. THIS IS A
LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE WHERE
HUNDREDS HAVE BEEN GATHERING
FOR THE LAST FEW HOURS.
THERE IS NO CURFEW THERE
TONIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR A WATCHING.
FOR 6 NIGHTS IN A ROW
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PROTESTING.
THE FORMER OFFICER SHOT AND
KILLED HIM.
WE WANT TO BEGIN LIVE NEAR THE
BROOKLYN CENTER POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW?
Reporter: IT WAS A VERY
PEACEFUL PROTEST.
ONE OF THE LARGEST PROTESTS
THEY HAVE HAD SINCE SUNDAY
NIGHT.
THE FENCE THAT WAS PUT UP TWO
SEPARATE PROTESTERS FROM POLICE
WAS BREACHED.
FENCE THAT THE ZIP TIES WERE
ACTUALLY CUT AND PROTESTERS
WERE ABLE TO GET INSIDE OF THE
FENCE FOR A MOMENT BUT THEN THE
OFFICERS PUSHED FORWARD.
PEOPLE BEGAN TO GET INTO THE
AREA WHERE THE BROOKLYN SENDER
POLICE DEPARTMENT IS. CAREER
TONIGHT IT WAS VERY PEACEFUL.
YOU CAN SEE THE OFFICERS.
THEY HAD BASICALLY MILITARY
TRUCKS THAT WERE PARKED IN
FRONT OF THE PRECINCT IN
BETWEEN THE BARRIER SET UP LAST
NIGHT THAT HELPED KEEP THINGS
PEACEFUL.
YOU COULD NOT SEE THE OFFICES
THAT OFFICERS BUT RIGHT NOW IT
IS A DIFFERENT STORY.
THERE HAVE BEEN TWO ORDERS TO
LEAVE, DISMISS, TRY TO GET THE
CROWD.
NUMEROUS CALLS FROM MEDICS
BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE OUT HERE
PROTESTING PEACEFULLY WERE
ACTUALLY HIT BY SOME OF THESE
MUNITIONS.
RIGHT NOW PEOPLE ARE AT THE
GATE.
THEY STILL HAVE THEIR UMBRELLAS
OUT IN CASE THERE IS PEPPER
SPRAY.
WHAT WE SEE TO THE SOUTH OF US
SEE A MILITARY BUILDUP.
YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS THAT ARE
COMING FROM OVER THE TOP.
THAT IS MEMBERS OF THE
MINNESOTA NATIONAL GUARD
ADVANCING TOWARD THE BROOKLYN
CENTER POLICE DEPARTMENT.
MANY OF THE PROTESTERS TELL ME
THEY WANT CHANGE.
THERE ARE EVEN PEOPLE ON LOUD
HORNS TELLING THE PROTESTERS
NOT TO THROW ROCKS OR WATER
BOTTLES.
YET, THERE WERE SOME OBJECTS
GOING OVER THE FENCE AND THE
OFFICERS HAD NO OTHER CHOICE
BUT TO TRY TO RETALIATE AND
PROTECT THE AREA.
NOW THE FENCE HAS BEEN
REESTABLISHED.
SOME OF THE CROWD TO DISPERSE.
THEY SAY THEY WANT TO BE
PEACEFUL.
RIGHT NOW, THAT IS NOT
HAPPENING.
THAT IS BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE
THINGS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
THE NATIONAL GUARD IS MOVING
THIS WAY.
WE DO SEE A BUILDUP OF OFFICERS
ALONG THE FENCE.
WE DIDN'T SEE THEM EARLIER
TONIGHT.
RIGHT NOW ALL YOU SEE IS
OFFICERS LINED UP AGAINST THE
FENCE TAKING IMPOSTOR TO MAKE
SURE THEY PROTECT THE PROPERTY.
FRANK AND AMELIA, WE WILL STAY
OUT HERE AND BRING YOU THE
LATEST.
THINGS ARE CHANGING EVERY
SECOND.
I AM SO SURPRISED.
WE TALKED TO AT 9:00 AND IT WAS
SO MELLOW OUT THERE.
WE COULD KIND OF SEE FROM OUR
HELICOPTERS AND IT LOOKS LIKE
PEOPLE COULD GET THROUGH THE
FENCE.
OBVIOUSLY, SOME PEOPLE DID GET
THROUGH THE FENCING.
Reporter: THAT IS RIGHT.
FRANK, WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER,
WHAT SET THE TONE HERE, THERE
WERE A LOT OF MINISTERS FROM
THE COMMUNITY THAT CAME OUT
FIRST.
THEY SAID A PRAYER BEFORE THE
PROTESTERS GOT TOGETHER.
THEY GOT TOGETHER AND
BASICALLY, THE TONE WAS
FESTIVE.
PEOPLE WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME.
WE PEOPLE WERE EXPRESSING THEIR
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO
PROTEST.
THEN THE FLASH BANGS AND
OBJECTS STARTED GOING OVER.
THEY ARE SANDWICHING WE ARE
TRYING TO MOVE BACK.
THE NATIONAL GUARD IS MOVING
OUT.
