During the Minneapolis mayor’s press conference about their police chief resigning over the very controversial police shooting and killing of an innocent Australian woman, protesters completely took over the presser.
It got wild pretty quick:

Here’s a much longer version:
This was the case where a Somali cop shot through the driver side door of the police car where the woman was walking towards to talk to the police about an attack she saw. She died from the gunshot wound, and people are very angry that the police dash cam and body cams were turned off.
Here’s the statement about the resignation:
