Minnesota Gov Tim Walz has extended a curfew in the Twin Cities for another two days and says the state's National Guard will be demobilized amid ongoing George Floyd protests in the state.
Minneapolis has been the center of protests - some peaceful, some violent - for days over the death of Floyd, a handcuffed black man who was killed on May 25 after white Minneapolis officer, Derek Chauvin, 44, pressed a knee into Floyd's neck as he pleaded for air and cried 'I can't breathe'.
The protests prompted officials to impose an 8pm curfew in a bid to make it more difficult for protesters to move around.
During a press conference Monday morning, the governor extended that curfew for two more days after consulting with the mayors of Minneapolis and St Paul.
'We are extending the curfew for two days but the times will change. It will go from 10pm to 4am.
Walz said the reason for the time change comes from the 'vast majority' of Minnesotans who 'are able to abide by this'.
The governor then said that the state's National Guard troops will soon be transitioning 'back to their homes. Many of them will be going back'.

Done on purpose to enact Chaos to blame Trump
The bottom line: the Democrats REAL platform is to hurt and punish fellow Americans any way they can. The proof? Most Dem. politicians have been spewing so much hatred and name-calling of the American public over the past several years, that seeing fellow Americans suffer is the only way these sadistic liberal monstrosities can get sexually aroused. I'm dead serious.
There was a time when most Minnesotans got up at 4 a.m. to do farm chores or milk the cows.
