George Floyd's death: Trump lashes out; police precinct breached

Demonstrations in the wake of George Floyd’s death boiled over for a third straight night asprotesters gained access to the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd Precinct building, forcing officers to evacuate. Tensions have been rising for days since the death of Floyd, a black man who died in police custody after a white officer pinned him to the ground under his knee. Early Friday,President Donald Trump lashed out on Twitter, calling Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey "weak" and labeling looters, who have damaged multiple businesses over the past few days, as "thugs."  Twitter later put a public interest notice on that tweet, saying it "violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence." In an early Friday news conference, Frey pledged that police would continue to serve residents in the precinct and that the building was "just bricks and mortar."
