On Friday, the Minneapolis City Council voted 11-1 to oppose the use of tear gas and other munitions as part of Minnesota's response to protesters.
Thursday night, police never ordered any of the crowd to disperse, as the crowd thinned out and was in the 20s about 90 minutes after the 10 p.m. curfew took effect in Brooklyn Center. However, the previous four nights featured law enforcement using tear gas and other less-lethal munitions on protesters.
Over 3,000 National Guard soldiers have been deployed in response to the unrest seen in Brooklyn Center after former officer Kim Potter shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon. The National Guard has been on standby as the Derek Chauvin murder trial has been ongoing and will head into closing arguments for the case on Monday.

DEMOCRAT ENDGAME? Patriot law enforcement officers will retire or quit. They will be replaced by anti-Christ agitators.

That replacement has been going on for the last 50 years, as Police Departments were replacing qualified men with unqualified women and minorities.

We’ll see how quick they change their tune if there’s a Proud Boys march.

Hmmm. Weird headline. I don’t think they should fire tear gas on protesters either. Rioters and looters on the other hand...

The NG leadership is remiss in allowing their troops to be put in harms way by the fools in Minneapolis. The commander should tell them he’s going to pull them out if they aren’t allowed to defend themselves and the public effectively.
He won’t though. Probably another dancing prancing REMF.

If they’re blocking the roads, they aren;t protestors.
They are rioters and it’s the responsibility of the authorities to clear them off the streets.

Can they still use Water Cannons? How about running them over with Tanks? How about a good, old-fashioned ‘Hickory Shampoo?’ *SNORT*
Watch for, ‘The People’s Republic of Madistan’ to follow suit!

“On Friday, the Minneapolis City Council voted 11-1 to oppose the use of tear gas and other munitions as part of Minnesota’s response to protesters.”
What authority does the Minneapolis City Council have over “Minnesota’s response” or for that matter that of Brooklyn Center?
