CNN: Protesters Set Minneapolis Precinct No. 3 on Fire Over George Floyd Death

‘You hear people cheering every time they get through one of the windows there’

EXCERPT:

SIDNER: "So I’m going to let you see the pictures for yourself. This is the Third Precinct here. There are fires burning to the left of it at the wine and liquor store on your left. But back, in the back of the precinct, you are hearing people throwing things against the walls, against the glass, against anything they can. And now the fire alarm, you’ll see it flashing inside of the Third Precinct. Behind the Third Precinct, just behind it is a fire that is billowing and has been going for a few minutes now really strongly. But you hear people cheering every time they get through one of the windows there with whatever it is they're throwing. It sounds like they're throwing. You can see pieces of concrete. There's someone climbing up the wall right now of the back of the Third Precinct. Kicking the window in. Trying to climb up the wall. People are trying to get in the building.”
