Minnesota Protestors Started Dance Party While Waiting to be Arrested
Hundreds of protesters were arrested in Minnesota as two marches converged to shut down a Minneapolis highway — with some apparently trying to signal indifference or boredom by dancing while waiting hours to be rounded up.
The groups, including the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Regression, converged on Interstate 94 just after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, snarling traffic in both directions for miles, according to WCCO.
Police in riot gear initially followed the group from a distance — before ordering all of them to sit and wait to be arrested, according to the station.
