Twenty-one officers from various Minnesota law enforcement agencies were injured and more than 102 protestors were arrested as a demonstration on the I-94 freeway in St. Paul turned violent Saturday night, with protestors hurling rocks, bottles, fireworks and bricks at law enforcement officers on the scene.
Hundreds of demonstrators began protesting at the Governors Residence in St. Paul Saturday night over the police-involved shooting death of Philando Castile earlier in the week before heading onto the I-94 freeway around 8 p.m., local Fox affiliate KMSP reported.
The interstate was shut down in both directions for more than five hours and the protests eventually turned violent, with demonstrators hurling bricks, fireworks and at least one Molotov cocktail at officers, according to the St. Paul Police Department.

I think of it every time I see these scenes from inner cities.
Rubber buckshot or one of those beanbag shotgun rounds might slow the perp down enough for an arrest.

It’s starting in Europe too. The plan is working perfectly
lol
Did the police take right to the rioters. This holding back solves nothing but will accelerate the rioters to a more violent methods. Killing has happened and must be returned in force. Has the violence become stronger? Ask yourself if restraint did any good.
Please immediately remove all police protection from the Minnesota governor’s mansion.
I’ve told my son and family, this is gonna be the summer of chaos. This has nothing to do with Trump or police. This was/is planned. It’s happening in Europe too now.
You heard it here first. There will be a fake assassination attempt, blamed on whitey of course.
Here’s another thing I think Obama is planning. There will be an incident where a deranged white guy shoots at the protestors from behind driving them toward the police. The all hell will really break out.
That is an Obama wet dream.
I’m so glad I live in a very rural area and will never have to deal with any of this.
Well, they might check to see if they start at 15 an hour..
21 workmens comp cases, 21 officers off work at least one day, not patrolling, and insurance rates skyrocket for the department.
I mean it, no more mucking around, get old school or don’t deploy.
That means shoulder to shoulder phalanxes and march these people right off the damn highway, resisting is a wooden shampoo. And bring the dogs.
Not just $15/hr but medicare at 55 and free college
Free money everywhere
Not only that, many cops are bailing from the inner cities going to the burbs where folks back them.
All those guys will retire there on disability and go to the bubs watch, u heard it here 1st
Whatever happened to the sound blaster and the skin blistering device so touted to break up violent demonstrations? Water cannons? Or are those methods only applicable to the lighter shade of demonstrator?
They're probably afraid the Justice Department will find that such methods violate some imaginary civil rights of the demonstrators.
I can attest to that personally. The officers here in St. Louis are doing it, Ferguson has been understaffed every day since Mike Brown and many of those guys have just plain had it, knowing that Ferguson is going to be the annual Mecca for the SJW, a perpetual civil disturbance.
I tell everyone I can do not under any circumstance become a cop. You will regret that decision.
I did.
Jokes on you. It's a big ole s*** sandwich and we all get to take a bite.
Good questions.
How many thugs were arrested?? The Police, sadly, are now AFRAID of BLACKS.
