Protesters gather near the 3rd Precinct in Minneapolis during a rally Tuesday in response to the death the day before of George Floyd in police custody. While city leaders debated if abandoning the precinct would make things better or worse, a section of south Minneapolis burned. Between 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, and 7 a.m. on Thursday, May 28, the Minneapolis Fire Department responded to 16 fires within blocks of the 3rd Precinct. Records recently released by the city of Minneapolis document the decisions within City Hall and the Capitol that led to Mayor Jacob Frey’s order to abandon the building. The mayor said protecting the building wasn’t worth sacrificing another life. But Frey and Gov. Tim Walz have traded accusations over why a mission to deploy the National Guard was delayed until after the Third Precinct was lost. #3rdprecinct Four men have been indicted on charges related to the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct arson that took place during the protests following the death of George Floyd. #GeorgeFloyd Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, Davon De-Andre Turner, Bryce Michael Williams and Branden Michael Wolfe were all indicted on one count each of conspiracy to commit arson at the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct building. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/
