On "The Story," MacCallum visited violence-plagued North Minneapolis and spoke with former Councilman Don Samuels, who served from 2003 to 2014. Samuels stood outside his home, and told MacCallum that Minneapolis had just been getting a handle on its gun violence problem when Floyd's death caused rioting and lasting damage in the city. He attributed some of the uptick in violence to the fact that the current city council has decimated the Minneapolis Police Department and effectively left troubled neighborhoods to fend for themselves. Don and his wife Sondra are among several community members in the Jordan and Hawthorne neighborhoods suing the city over its insufficient policing, the ex-lawmaker told Fox News. he said, referring to Lonnice Thornton and her young daughter Ellie, who also told MacCallum about their harrowing experience in the neighborhood.
