A night of rioting and looting has left multiple buildings torched and businesses ransacked in Minneapolis, after protests over the police killing of an unarmed black man escalated into violence.
Footage from the scene shows the scale of the destruction, with the city’s streets starting to resemble a war zone. On Wednesday night, multiple buildings across the city were set on fire, with smoke and fire still billowing from the ruins in the morning.
Some properties looked like they had been targeted by an air raid rather than violent protesters, with only their walls left standing.
Multiple stores have been stripped clean by the looters.
