27:53Now PlayingSenate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka addressed the media Friday, May 29, in response to the civil unrest in Minneapolis and St. Paul as a result of the officer-involved killing of George Floyd.
Citing a failure in leadership, Gazelka said, "It should have been no secret, no surprise, that we were going to have huge unrest...and the guard should have been called in right away, and it shouldn't have been a couple hundred, it should have been a couple thousand members of the guard."
He further said that he hopes the Governor calls for a curfew and that law enforcement officials are much more aggressive in arresting those that commit crimes.
Gazelka said he further expects during a special session that a bill to aid small businesses impacted by COVID-19 closure will be expanded to assist businesses destroyed by the rioting.
