Tim Pawlenty.

I’m sure they are already called up -but this was them being called in to this situation. I’m sure they try not to use military units for ordinary policing.

Thanks for the name. ROFL! Never connected.

I'd seen clips of the rioters on FOX. While Denver had police in full riot gear, the St. Paul police didn't look as well protected. Maybe because they didn't get out of hand so much in Denver, everyone relaxed a bit?
