Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced Saturday morning that he is authorizing to “fully mobilize” the state’s National Guard after violent riots rocked Minneapolis for the fourth night in a row following Monday’s police custody death of George Floyd.

Speaking at a press briefing on Saturday, Walz said that by the afternoon, another 1,000 National Guard soldiers will be in Minneapolis in addition to the 700 that are already deployed to the city.
