Jacob Frey: “Protests here in Minneapolis are peaceful.”

“Do you bear any responsibility as a local leader, Mayor Fry, to bring down the temperature right now? Of course I bear responsibility to bring down the temperature. That's part of my role as mayor. And by the way, Protests here in Minneapolis are peaceful.
