Police and National Guard have been sweeping residential streets in Minneapolis, ordering the residents to obey the curfew – and marking those who refuse to go inside with paint, triggering a new wave of outrage over police abuse.
A squad of heavily equipped National Guardsmen and police officers are seen running through a street in a suburban area of Minneapolis. The footage that surfaced online shows them approach residents who videotape their passage and yell “get inside, go inside!”
Eventually, one officer can be heard shouting “light ‘em up!” at which point the squad fires off volleys of paint at the bystanders. They swiftly take cover inside.
