Protests took to the streets of south Minneapolis for the fourth night of both peaceful and violent protests. Targets of the violent protesters were near the Minneapolis Police fifth precinct where they set fire to a Wells Fargo bank, a staffing agency and the vacant K-Mart building. 

Saturday morning brought out dozens of volunteers to help clean the streets after looting hit the area hard the night before. Sweeping up debris, moving large pieces of bricks and removing graffiti happened all over the area by residents of the neighborhood and people coming in to help. 

Minneapolis right now: neighbors from different backgrounds filling Lake St in mass clean up. Hold this image in your head—w/the image of a knee on a neck—to show what we can do and what we urgently need to fix. Don’t let destruction by vandals from elsewhere distract pic.twitter.com/w43IsfJyDr
