Following the protests in Atlanta, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said, “This is not Atlanta. This is not a protest.”

She continued:

“This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. This is chaos. A protest has purpose. When Dr. King was assassinated we didn’t do this to our city. So if you love this city, this city that has had a legacy of black mayors and black police chiefs and people who care about this city where more than 50 percent of the business owners in metro Atlanta are minority business owners, if you care about this city then go home.”

Lance Bottoms also said, “We are better than this. We are better than this as a city. We are better than this as a country. You’re throwing knives at our police officers. You are burning cars. You have defaced the CNN building.”

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, there was a curfew placed for 8 p.m. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz tweeted, “I urge residents to comply with 8pm curfew and go home immediately. Law Enforcement needs to respond to emergencies, restore order, and keep Minnesotans safe.”
