'I urge for peace at this time,' says Minnesota governor 

As protests continues to rage across the U.S. cities over the killing of George Floyd, a black man who died this week after being pinned down by the neck by a white police officer in Minneapolis, the governor of Minnesota has called for calm. 

"Minnesotans are asking for and deserve confidence that we can respond to this crisis, and we will. We are continuing to coordinate efforts at the state and local level while accessing resources from across the country to keep our communities safe," Governor Tim Walz tweeted on Saturday morning. "I urge for peace at this time."
