Minnesota Governor Tim Walz responds to fatal shooting

Published | Video Starts at 26:47

I'll have General Menke talk about where they're at and again, use this as an opportunity to stress the Minnesotans the frustration you have. And as you saw this, They killed a man, created chaos, pushed down protesters, threw gas indiscriminately and then left the scene. And then we're left to clean up. I understand the anger. I understand trying to parse who were the law enforcement on the scene when you got there after a man was killed is difficult for folks who are out there. (26:47–26:56)
