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.

494 and 694 might require a longer route instead o f straight through 94 but a modern GPS should indicate slow traffic conditions. Nicer trip on the bypass routes anyway.
Wow. If Minneapolis has to import national guard units from other areas there must be a buildup of force.
Wow. These people are complete morons.
Embrace the suck, MN.
They know what the verdict is going to be. They don’t want their paid rioters gassed.
How about Napalm?
“the Minneapolis City Council voted 11-1 to oppose the use of tear gas and other munitions”
Give them cookies and milk instead.
It would be interesting if the rioters turn their sights from looting and burning small businesses and started torching the Vikings stadium, large corporate office buildings and the multi million dollar homes around the lakes just west of downtown. I think the sob sister liberals would want the National Guard to fix bayonets and shoot looters on sight.
They’re cowards going for easy pickings. They don’t have the collective balls to go after a hard target.
Minneapolis will be a burned out shell of itself in two weeks.
