At 8 p.m. Friday, dozens gathered near the fifth Minneapolis police precinct, the latest in the daily protests following the police shooting death of Amir Locke.
Protesters began blocking intersections near West 31st Street and Pleasant Avenue, then moved into Uptown.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crews saw a shattered bus stop, people knocking trash cans into streets and various graffiti, both near the precinct and on and near businesses on Lyndale Avenue South.
Saturday afternoon, a spokesperson from Minneapolis Police said the group of 70-100 protesters were “mostly peaceful” while walking in the street, but that they did cause some property damage with graffiti and unconfirmed reports of broken windows.
Police also said the group stopped by the fifth precinct twice; some protesters graffitied cement barriers outside and others threw “objects” at the building. No other information was available.
