Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon also expected to speak. He addressed reporters earlier today.
“Devastating & heartbreaking that we’re here once again,” says @GovTimWalz. But property destruction “will not be tolerated.”
Walz calls on legislators to pass more police reform legislation. Stop pretending that police killings are “the natural order of the universe,” he says.
Curfew in Mpls from 7 pm until 6 am tonight says @MayorFrey

@GovTimWalz declares curfew 7pm to 6am tonight in Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka Counties.
