The city of Minneapolis faced significant civil unrest following George Floyd's murder, prompting Mayor Jacob Frey to request National Guard assistance two days later.
It wasn't until Thursday that Governor Tim Walz signed the executive order activating the National Guard, amid escalating riots including the burning of a police station.
The delayed response to the chaos in Minneapolis has led to ongoing scrutiny of Governor Walz's actions during a critical period of unrest and conversation about racism.
As Minnesota became a focal point for discussions on racism and police violence, Governor Walz's leadership during the riots has come under increased scrutiny with Kamala Harris's nomination.
