MINNEAPOLIS — Gov. Tim Walz confirmed the Minnesota National Guard will deploy to support local authorities after Hennepin Co. Sheriff Dawanna Witt formally requested the assistance of the National Guard.

Later Saturday afternoon, the city of Minneapolis also requested support from the Minnesota National Guard to "help local police and emergency personnel protect community safety" in the area around Saturday's fatal shooting "and at other posts as needed."

Is the Guard REALLY being called in to protect property, or against ICE?

Maybe a bit of both. The Democrats want their Somali graft, but a city in ruins will count against them later.

Trump should take command of the Minnesota National Guard now, just to be on the safe side.

Now is the hour.......it will not take long for PDJT to take command of the MNG and expand its deployment.

This is more than just good news.

Frey and Walz are going down.

I think the dangerous part is that the governor of Minnesota knows he’s going to jail so he may use the guard as a way of intimidating the feds

Articles of impeachment for Gov exist...but can’t be introduced until 17 Feb (opening of legislative season). I expect this period to take 4 to 6 weeks, as testimony/evidence is introduced. GOP control Minn House...but as it goes to the Minn Senate, that’s slight majority of Dems....so it’ll end there.

I would guess maximum intensity for Antifa/riots to be mid-Feb to mid-Mar...with US Army protecting state house building/participants.

“...then will they see the MN Natl Guard as just another fascist-adjacent paramilitary force that must be similarly fought?”

Tough question, we will know before the day ends what the likely outcome will be in the short run. I remember the Detroit riots in ‘67 that president LBJ call in the both the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions and MI governor Romney (Sr) called in the Michigan National Guard. If this is any indication perhaps the sitting president has ultimate control.

One might think that the US Army might have a wee bit of say over a NG unit of any state.

“ Dawanna” Police Chiefs, Sherrifs and Fire Chiefs across the fruited plain are obese black women. Wonder why they make such competent leaders?

The exit strategy is to nationalize the Minesota National Guard, and send in the Marines to “help” them.

But what are Sheriff Dawanna Witt’s reasons for requesting the “hep”?

“...help local police...protect community safety.”
____________________________________________________

The Minneapolis police aren’t doing a damn thing to “help.”

Frey gave them their stand down orders.

Is it possible for the President to federalize the Minneapolis police?

They weren’t worrying about public safety when the late lamented Good was in the middle of the road obstructing traffic and justice. My bet is that they are hoping for a clash between the guard and ICE.

Yep. Now its time to ask the question about ignoring illegal orders now, isnt it? This is alot of effort and cost to cover up a Somali/taxpayer funded democrat kickback scheme.

Gov. Tim Walz confirmed the Minnesota National Guard will deploy to support local domestic terrorists until he can cover up fraud operations in his state and make sure no dots lead to his name but it’s futile to late.

The democrat party must be paying the deadbeat protesters to protect their scam voter base and who knows how much money they are making off such operations nation wide?.

Has any elected democrat reminded the MN NG to not obey illegal orders yet?

Is Timmy Tampon sure they’ll show up? They may all head off towards Italy like he does.

Obummer and then Biden invited these 3rd worlders in for the vote but also to disrupt normal Americans, to make our lives miserable, to radically transform America. Then the fraud, the abuse, crime, no assimilation, the welfare....they contribute nothing....and I don’t like them or the very stupid people who riot for a group of people that would simply rape and kill them. I just don’t care.
