Day 3 of protests and day 2 of chaos in the aftermath of the police murder of George Floyd. Last night, protests devolved into rioting. A lot of Minneapolis businesses were smashed and looted, some burned:

Today, riots and lawlessness have started early in the business corridor of a a poorer neighborhood in St. Paul, twin city of Minneapolis. I don't think it even started as a protest there. I don't fully understand why this has sprung up over there.
There was a press conference from the local FBI office in which the prosecutors and other people on the podium for whatever reason basically announced nothing, besides the lack of an announcement of an arrest/charge for any of the four police officers directly involved in the murder. This will surely add fuel to the situation.
Back over in Minneapolis, the city seems to have had its share of rioting and is protesting peacefully for now. Peaceful protests have begun in Minneapolis' downtown central business district as well as in the south part of the city where some of the protesting and rioting happened last night.

Good on-the-ground coverage in St. Paul now in Minneapolis.
Local NBC affiliate had some aerial shots above Minneapolis. Seems to have gone offline. Might return, but a unique aerial view from earlier this evening, at least.
This guy is streaming live from the middle of it in St. Paul. I watched a furniture store truck get stolen and break down a wooden fence on his stream a bit ago:
