An insurance company that covered several businesses destroyed during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis is suing the city for negligence.
"The areas and events that Hillard Heintze focused on included civil unrest that occurred at Minneapolis Police Department precincts, 911 response to looting, burglary, stabbings, and shootings, and evacuation of the MPD's 3rd Precinct," the complaint stated.
According to the HH report, the city suffered from "Minimal direction" during the riots, and the community was "Dismayed at the lack of leadership and planning from the city and the MPD, and expressed their overall distrust of the city and MPD officials."
"The city failed to capitalize on its training and experience from previous large-scale events to establish a framework for crisis response and guide its actions," the report said.
The MPD failed to follow "Established policies and protocols" in its request for the Minneapolis National Guard as the MPD's 3rd Precinct had been invaded by protestors.
"Overall, community members felt that the city had abandoned them, partially regarding the lack of response to vandalism and arson that occurred in areas where protests occurred."
In response to The Epoch Times' request for comment on the lawsuit, a spokesperson for the city of Minneapolis said: "The city has been served with the complaint and is considering its options."
