According to RIA Novosti, after the dispersal of the protesters and the departure of representatives of US law enforcement agencies, journalists with the permission of the police remained in the gas station along with the owners of the gas station and helping people protect it.
Then a minibus with policemen drove up to the gas station, who, “pointing their guns at people”, demanded that everyone enter the gas station building.
Then, despite the explanations of the journalists that they are representatives of the media, and the IDs shown, the two officers used a tear spray against a member of the VICE television crew and a RIA Novosti correspondent.
It was previously reported that police and the US National Guard dispersed a protest in Minneapolis using rubber bullets and tear gas.
Protests in several US states began after an African-American African American George Floyd died in hospital on May 25, arrested by police officers, a 46-year-old Minneapolis resident.
