Schumer echoed Jeffries' statement but also emphasized the need for a thorough investigation on the state and local level.
"I watched the video. You felt like your stomach was being punched. Looking at the video, there seemed no justification for what these agents did.

The pair's press conference came as hundreds of protesters squared off with federal agents in Minneapolis on Thursday. Federal authorities appeared to detain at least four protesters during the demonstration.
