The owners of a popular Minneapolis restaurant are suing the city and Mayor Jacob Frey over their response to riots, triggered by the death of George Floyd, that burnt down their restaurant.

Kacey White and Charles Stotts, owners of the Town Talk Diner and Gastropub, claimed that Frey and other city leaders did not react adequately to protect business owners and residents from looting and damage in the riots.
