Tanya Kerssen posted the video to Twitter shortly after 9:30 p.m., showing what she says is the Minnesota National Guard and Minneapolis police sweeping her residential street in the Whittier Neighborhood."

This is OUTRAGEOUS! Shooting at citizens on their own porch because they will not go inside.
I saw masked people wearing black standing on the porch that all ran inside and the age of the people were quite commonly shared, so were these people really obeying curfew or were they gathering to go out for the night later?
Why are they not shooting paintballs and/or beanbag rounds at the rioters and looters? I say they’re cowards...
How times change in a week. Last week this would have probably been perfectly fine, so long as it was being used to enforce social distancing.
I kid, it isn’t ever ok. But I mean from the perspective of our enemedia.
Idiot cops certainly aren’t helping themselves
That one rioter was right when he said violence was coming to the suburbs. We just didn't know it was going to be at the hands of the police.
If the police continue in these un-lawful exercises, There is going to end up being a lot of dead Cops.
I’ve never been involved in a curfew, so what does that mean? You cannot let your dog out to go to the bathroom, or you cannot take a smoke on your own front porch? I truly did not know curfew meant house arrest.
Of innocent people.
This sounds like a city that really needs to rethink its screening process when hiring police officers.
Curfew...mandatory curfew. Stay inside order. Cops patrolling have no idea if someone on your porch is you or a rioter, or a sniper. Get your *ss inside.
When the national guard come to your town I pretty much think that means you stay indoors.
What is the situation when there’s a curfew during other riots or during looting after a hurricane?
Nope
If these units, I am guessing others were also patrolling towards the riots from different directions, did not ensure groups could not congregate and tail them, they could be surrounded.
I hate the need for this but understand why keeping people inside with the threat of force was needed.
Dressed all in black .... could be Antifa!
They should have been in Reno. Curfew went into effect and the cops and NG were “reminding” folks to disperse. Pffffttttt! The useless mare (named hillary) said don’t arrest anyone unless they’re harming someone. Smashed windows at city hall and some businesses downtown and started a fire inside. Rolling dumpsters at the cops. Tear gas deployed. Lots of grafitti. Curfew? LOL! Knowing the cops weren’t gonna do much it was ignored by the POS assclowns.
It was guard, not cops
“Curfew...mandatory curfew. Stay inside order. Cops patrolling have no idea if someone on your porch is you or a rioter, or a sniper. Get your *ss inside.”
Exactly.
