Minneapolis City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins and Mayor Jacob Frey on Tuesday condemned the tactics of protesters who shouted at Jenkins and blocked her from leaving an event in Loring Park until she agreed to a list of their demands.
In a statement posted on Facebook, Jenkins said she was "verbally attacked, berated and held 'hostage' against my will by a large group of angry protesters."
She added: "Every citizen of this City has a right to bring forward their concerns, but no citizen has the right to detain and coerce anyone to do anything, that includes elected officials."
Activist D.J. Hooker, who posted the video to social media, said in an interview that the encounter lasted approximately two hours.
