Walz declares emergency, brings in police backup from Ohio and Nebraska as Chauvin verdict looms

Gov. Tim Walz has declared a state of emergency in the seven-county Twin Cities Metro and is bringing in police backup from Ohio and Nebraska as a verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial nears.

"We can’t live like this. We simply can’t. But we can’t have thousands of businesses burned and people put at risk," Walz said at a Monday evening news conference when asked about the security strategy.

Walz and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul said they would not order curfews for the entire week as the verdict looms. Curfews are likely on the city level on a day-by-day basis, not preemptively, a spokesman for the governor later said.

Walz is also asking the state Legislature to free up millions of dollars in emergency security funding.

Monday afternoon, the Minnesota Senate quickly passed $9 million in emergency funding to deal with unrest in the Twin Cities, with Republicans saying it was needed to keep the peace.

The instant cure for riots are riot guns liberally utilized.

When the chicken shit cowardly rioters understand there will be instant continues they will turn and run back to their parents basements and turn back into keyboard warriors.

Sure would be a shame if a lot of police officers resigned tomorrow.

"In your prediction, you forgot that there will be lots more free big screen TVs."

I'm tempted to visit one or more big box stores tomorrow and offer to buy 1-2 televisions at half price. I'll just tell them it's a better deal than BLM will be offering a few hours later.

The problem with that is that, after Nov 3, 2020, I have little use for a television.

They’ll be in the streets even if the verdict is guilty.

Don’t kid yourself.

My sons have always been taught there are severe consequences for their actions should they act in irresponsible ways. They also know it. Both Eagle scouts, both near or at the top of theirs classes in college, both constitutionalists. They know we will support and love them, but they also know they will have to take their punishment like men.

Skunk spray works great, on both rioters and fake news reporters.

In other words:

"You f#*&#*# jurors better get it right or the Democrat violent mobs are coming for all of you"

It’s not that. That’s the fear. So what ever may happen. No one should riot. There is no excuse for any of that shit.

It is possible that the dems have been cheating on elections for at least 10 years or so. Cannot explain why so many states and cities keep on electing incompetent lefties. The lefty candidates act as if they are above it all...so it looks like the people have voted for it but it is too prrdictable. How else can one explain george gascon or kate brown or ted wheeler?

“Mentally unstable self-hating white women...”

So, in other words, lesbians. Thanks. Duly noted.

Why the hell do they need even MORE cops, NG, etc., to stand around and watch everything burn? Might as well have them all go home since they’re not going to do a thing to stop the insanity anyhow.

They don’t want men because they have become unattractive to men, so they deflect the actual initial reason (craziness or gained weight) so they can blame men and not their own choices.
