Rioters have set the Minneapolis police station on fire.
The police station fire is just one of many that have broken out across the city during the third straight night of protests, looting and riots.
Reports say protestors forcibly entered the building and lit several fires inside. The Minnesota National Guard has been activated and 500 soldiers are on their way to the city. The police department appears to have evacuated the building, and the fire department has not responded. The entire police station is now on fire in Minneapolis and police and firefighters have been instructed to stand down. The city is going to burn to the ground tonight.
