The Minnesota National Guard was seen handing out coffee and donuts to anti-ICE protesters in St. Paul on Sunday.
Video captured guardsmen in yellow vests offering donuts and coffee out the back of a vehicle. One National Guard member told WCCO-TV that this was a "demonstration of safety and security."
The Minnesota National Guard posted on X earlier this month that if troops were deployed to the Twin Cities, they would wear reflective vests "to help distinguish them from other agencies in similar uniforms."
The guardsmen in the video were seen one day after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Alex J. Pretti after he allegedly confronted officers during a Department of Homeland Security operation in south Minneapolis.

Now we know what Walz did in the NG.
Meeneesota Nice
“just surrender, it’s easier”
Yep.
Why don’t we organize groups to hand out laxative-laced coffee and donuts to rioters? Those porta-potties get mighty cold!
YGBSM
Unless these Guard troops were unemployed civilians (a possibility) they are likely losing $ everyday being off the job.
(Spits) Coffee and donuts - what BS....
So the National Guard are there to wait on the Bolsheviks.
How demeaning.
Decades ago, one of my close family members regularly handed out sandwiches and cigarettes to the Grenztruppen guarding the Berlin Wall.
Soon afterwards, tensions lifted and the Berlin Wall fell.
If the NG is not under orders to cause trouble (big IF), it might not be a bad thing for the NG to make nice with the protesters, then interpose themselves between protesters and the ICE officers. ICE could cultivate the NG guys out of view.
Seems like the perfect distraction for overweight, liberal screaming women.
Tampon Timmah the Tard has effectively installed yellow-vested tampon-dispensers instead of National Guards.
In the Philippines, the Communist agitators wear yellow vests and are derided as “YellowTards”
I am at a loss for words.
Anti-ICE protestors who are actively trying to harm ICE officers. This is disgusting.
Bribing the Left will not help the NG.
A clear signal to the communist insurectionists that the Democrat-controlled government supports and encourages them.
These specific “protesters” are paid insurrectionists, thus Enemies Domestic we take the oath to oppose.
If I were still in the Guard and ordered to cater to scum like that a court martial would be in the offing. Not the orders Senator SpaceBoy meant to be disobeyed.
What Moron gave those orders I wonder ?
laced with strychnine I hope.
See if they are there today.
If they are, the state is paying them.
What brand of hot chocolate did they serve, Swiss Miss, Nestle or Ex-Lax? I hope the latter.
