Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said on Thursday that many of the people who looted businesses and set fires amid the peaceful protests of George Floyd’s death on the second night of protests are not believed to be from Minneapolis.

At a press conference on the ongoing investigation into Floyd’s death, Arradondo was asked about allegations that some people who were looting businesses were from outside Minneapolis.
