MINNEAPOLIS — In casting blame on those responsible for the worst damage from the riots, local and state leaders attributed it to people not from Minnesota.

But publicly available data does not support those claims, KARE 11 Investigates has found.

“I think our best estimate of what we heard are about 20 percent are Minnesotans, and 80 percent are outside,” Gov. Tim Walz said during a Saturday morning press conference.

I want to be very, very clear,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said during the press conference. “The people that are doing this are not Minneapolis residents. They are coming in largely from outside of this city, outside of the region, to prey on everything we have built over the last several decades.”

A review of all the arrests made by Minneapolis-based police agencies for rioting, unlawful assembly and burglary-related crimes from Friday to Saturday tells a different story.

86% of those arrested in Minneapolis during the riots, were found to have home addresses in Minnesota.

Asked about his comments during the same news conference, Governor Walz declined to repeat his claim that "80 percent" of the violent protesters came from outside Minnesota. He said the estimate was based in part on law enforcement intelligence information and that the state would continue to monitor developments.

Requests have been made to Mayor Frey’s offices for the data they used to arrive at the conclusions about who was responsible for the destruction, but they have not yet responded.

The data also does not confirm whether white supremacists are behind some of the rioting and looting, as Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington suggested during the Saturday morning press conference.

One Dem lie down, many more to go!
 
The Governor and Mayor did correct the record. You left that fact out of your post, partisan much? They took responsibility, more than can be said for error free Trump eh?

Both mayors from the Twin Cities, and Gov Walz stated the same thing; the rioters weren't from Minneapolis, or even from Minnesota. All 3 told the same lie in front of the cameras, following the partisan lie that this was done by outside forces. I can understand why you're upset, but really dude, don't you think their actions had more consequences than this thread?

What consequences do you think resulted from initially suggesting that the rioters were not from Minneapolis, and then correcting themselves to say most were?

The lie is on the front page the correction is on D6

They tried to suggest it was conservatives stirring the pot that led to riots too.

It built a conspiracy theory in the mind's of some, that the government staged the riots, or white power groups did it, and even that drug cartels were behind it. I'm sure Minneapolis residents felt a higher level of fear, when their Gov told them that 80% of the rioters are exotic boogiemens from faraway lands.

But at least they corrected this theory when evidence was presented that it was faulty. They should be praised for this. Why can't our federal leadership do the same?

Everybody wants to blame someone for the riots. Democrats want to blame out of staters and white supremacists, Republicans want to blame BLM and Antifa. Truth is, none of them are right. This is an organic, natural reaction of outrage, which multiple groups are attempting to coopt and use for their own purposes.

That 86% is in line with what DoJ is investigating as 15% being “management” from out of town fanning the flames envouraging mayhem, arson, and destruction, then blow town.

I am upset they disseminated false information, which was corrected. They are more men then Trump who can't admit one mistake, oh wait, Trump is perfect of course.

Why did you leave out the part were the record was corrected? Oh of course, it did not suit your lean.

No correction was added to this story, which was updated at 8:11 PM 5/30/2020. KARE is a local news station operating in Minneapolis, owned by NBC. If anything, this goes to show that its not always Breitbart or Fox that you should question.

However, none of that changes the validity of the story.

Oh look, the interloper is concerned about news coverage in Minneapolis now. I'd bet you lived in Minneapolis at one time, and you're a complete expert on Minneapolis culture, and local media aren't you? Or, you know bullocks about Minneapolis or its culture, and you're touting again.

And the very last sentence of the article states that the sum total of white supremacists arrested for rioting (Dem talking point from Saturday) was one person, who was deemed to be a white supremacist because of his Facebook profile.

Correction: 2 Dem lies down, many more to go!

The media has been trying to claim that "white supremacists" are somehow behind black people rioting. We're getting into 2+2=5 territory.

The info on the white supremacist arrests went from 40 yesterday, to 1 single person today. That person was deemed a white supremacist because of memes he posted on Facebook. This is To Kill a Mockingbird in reverse, times 1,000.
 
The great majority arrested were white supremacists.

The left benefits from telling obvious lies, because they degrade people's sense of truth. The more blatantly disconnected from reality a given piece of propaganda is, the better it serves this purpose.

According to police records on total arrest, only one had a Facebook page who has identifiable support of white supremacy.

Sorry, your fake claim doesn't jive with the actual arrest records.

nice rant and totally irrelevant to what you quote.

Correcting what showed to be YOUR falsehoods all the way down to your outright lies is something I've NEVER seen YOU do.
