The Minnesota National Guard has activated over 500 soldiers on Thursday night to St. Paul, Minneapolis amid the violent clashes that happened after the police killing of an unarmed African American, 46-year-old restaurant worker George Floyd.

As of Friday morning, some buildings were still on fire in Minneapolis and protesters could be seen on the streets in the city. 

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said he expects "there will be charges" against the four officers involved in Floyd's death, according to a report from CNN.

Local media reported that so far there have been no official charges against the officers involved in the death of Floyd.
