Police shooting to protests to more protests...

WCCO Black Lives Matter  2016

Racial tension in the city of Minneapolis stemmed from a fatal shooting of a 24-year-old black man by Minneapolis police. The shooting led to a series of protests by Black Lives Matter, demanding the release of the video of the shooting, and camped out in front of police HQ for nearly three weeks. Some were shot. Eventually, the BLM protesters were evicted in the middle of the night.

Fifty years ago, the Twin Cities were ravaged by a series of six tornadoes. Thirteen people were killed, and thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed. WCCO Radio was on throughout that disastrous evening, mapping the storms’ path without the use of radar. The station was credited with saving hundreds of lives, as Edgar Linares reports.
