Violent demonstrations erupted in Minnesota and elsewhere late Monday as people angry over the police shooting of a 20-year-old man the day prior ransacked stores and threw bottles, bricks, and other projectiles at law enforcement officers.
Approximately 40 people were arrested in Brooklyn Center, where the April 11 shooting occurred, for crimes including curfew violations and rioting, Col. Matt Langer of the Minnesota State Patrol told reporters during a briefing just after midnight on Tuesday.
