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.

Aiding and abetting a riot is a crime, also.

They should be handing out SSRIs, anti-depressants, and mood stabilizers.

...laxative-laced coffee and donuts...

Or Viagra to the men who "identify" as women.

NG wearing reflective vests to show which side they’re on? When I was a lad, we played shirts and skins. I vote the LeftyLoonyBolshevikBS side gets to be skins.

The communists are trying to create an armed confrontation between the guard and ICE...

Whatever, this can only turn out badly...

And this is the National Guard Walz wants to replace ICE with? I say Pres. Trump should withdraw ICE from them and let Walz and his national Guard deal with the blood bath that will follow. When they begin to beg him to “come save us” he should demand all those fools that initiated the ICE withdrawal have resigned and will face their constituents.
