After a second night of violence, local officials are calling for peace. Congresswoman Betty McCollum, who represents Minnesota’s 4th district, which includes St. Paul and nearby suburbs, issued a statement. It read, in part…
“George Floyd died needlessly. His memory is best honored and respected by acts of kindness, humanity, and non-violent civil action. We must stand united as Minnesotans against racism, inequality, and injustice. And, even though there is anger, we must stand together peacefully.”
Senator Amy Klobuchar’s morning Tweet acknowledged people’s anger and pain but implored Minnesotans to stop hurting each other more.
Everyone is hurting. Anyone with an ounce of humanity is outraged by George Floyd’s killing in the hands of police. The case cries out for action, charges & justice.
But we can’t hurt each other. As a new day dawns pls listen to the Mayor re your safetyhttps://t.co/PeWfSlEChz
