Gov. Mark Dayton
Governor Mark Dayton says he’s asked his staff to determine what, if anything, can be done to prevent a repeat of last night’s (Mon) protests that shut down I-94 in north Minneapolis, resulting in 42 arrests. “I’m very uncomfortable with the fact that it happened. I deeply regret that it happened,” said Dayton at a late morning news conference at his State Capitol office. The protest came after police shot 24-year-old Jamar Clark early Sunday morning, allegedly while he was handcuffed and on the ground. Dayton says he supports calls for a federal civil rights investigation.
