Minneapolis<\/a>\u00a0Mayor Jacob Frey said Saturday that officials think “white supremacists” and “out-of-state instigators” could be behind the\u00a0protests in the wake of\u00a0George Floyd<\/a>\u2019s death, but a report showed that “about 86 percent” of arrests so far are mostly of in-state residents.<\/p>\n Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz also\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0Saturday that the majority of the protestors arrested were from outside Minneapolis\u00a0and sought to take advantage of the chaos.<\/p>\n However, a\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0by KARE 11 showed “about 86 percent” of the 36 arrests listed their address in Minnesota, and that they live in Minneapolis or the metro area, according to data the outlet analyzed from the Hennepin County Jail’s roster. Five out-of-state cases came from Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri, according to KARE 11.<\/p>\n The Minneapolis Mayor\u2019s office and police department did not return Fox News’ repeated calls\u00a0for comment.<\/p>\n “We are now confronting white supremacists, members of organized crime, out of state instigators, and possibly even foreign actors to destroy and destabilize our city and our region,” Frey had tweeted Saturday.<\/p>\n We are now confronting white supremacists, members of organized crime, out of state instigators, and possibly even foreign actors to destroy and destabilize our city and our region.<\/p>\n — Mayor Jacob Frey (@MayorFrey) May 30, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
