St. Paul Police officers seen kneeling in solidarity with protesters at Governor's Mansion
A group of St. Paul Police Officers and at least one State Patrol deputy were seen kneeling in solidarity with peaceful protesters outside the Governor's Mansion Monday afternoon.
St. Paul Police closed Summit Avenue to accomodate the protest which the department said was peaceful. During the protest, those gathered kneeled down together, symbolizing the actions of a Minneapolis Police officer who was seen kneeling on the neck of George Floyd before he was pronounced dead.
The St. Paul and State Patrol officers at the protest were seen joining the crowd in the symbolic kneel.
Police say more than 2,000 people joined the protest Monday afternoon.

This was happening at about the same time another peaceful protest was being scattered for a photo op.
