Sure seems like it.
They can’t even provide enough coverage for firefighters to do their job.
They got a stand down order the first night and this is the result where the anarchists sense weakness.

I would love to know what the Gov and pussy mayor heard from Esper and Gen Milley today.

Walz is a phucking idiot and a whimp. Instead of dealing with this and riot, instead of being a MAN and LEADER he’s playing games with this white supremacist bullshit to get off the hook.

It’s disgusting and MN deserves to burn electing this asshole.

“Walz said 80% of rioters are not from Minnesota. I didn’t hear him say Antifa. He claimed it was cartels and white supremacists.”

Gee, I hate to stereotype or racially profile, but while watching video of Target and other stores being looted, the perps didn’t much resemble what I would call “white supremacists.”

The Minnesota Governor is closing the barn door after the barn is EMPTY.

My point: Now that all the destruction has been done ( 4 nights ).. now he's gonna get serious? What a JOKE!

Great job governor of POSTURING for your legions of DUMBA$$ constituents.

I’m kind of old, but I do remember other Dim politicians blaming “outside agitators” for civil strife before.

most are blacks with some paid for Antifa groups in the mix. No organized rioting by the cartels or white supremacists. This Walz sounds like a real dummy.

These ‘outside agitators’ likely were sent by Putin.

I do believe I heard Thursday morning Public Radio reported people were busing in from Chicago and one other location I don’t remember. If that was the case, they should have been turned away because of the Corona virus in the first place.

The last 3 months have really proven what a huge mistake it is to give the rats control over your state.

By all accounts, law enforcement presence was almost undetectable as the violence rapidly accelerated until just before midnight and into early Saturday, when hundreds of police officers, state troopers and National Guard troops, some in armored vehicles, fanned out into troubled areas, confronting rioters with mass force, tear gas and orders to disperse issued via bullhorn.”

bullshit.. They were no where to be found...

I watched alpha news’ live stream last night. not a cop or guardsman to be found.

Criminals are tough. Church goers are docile. Who are you going to choose to arrest?

Need to cite stories or GOP pols on insurance costs of all the damage in Minneapolis and St Paul, both public and private property.

This is the costs of rat politicians running that state. All of the red counties just need to increase GOP votes by 5% to win two House seats and 10 electoral votes in November.

From my perspective looks very good for Trump winning WI and MINN now. Must keep voter fraud in check.

My daughter, her husband and my grandson live within blocks of the epicenter of the Minneapolis riots. Fortunately she and our grandson have taken refuge with us in a western suburb. The riots are personal to me.

Governor Walz has no leadership and has utterly failed to reestablish order. Roving gangs of rioters are now moving at will and are now targeting the suburbs. The Governor’s curfew was a joke and unarmed National Guard units are having no effect. The police are being overwhelmed. It is time for President Trump to federalize the National Guard and bring in professional armed troops to establish order.

Minnesotans are appealed by this lack of leadership. The Governor was quick to shut down business and churches for exaggerated fears of Corona virus, but when cities are burning with riots all he can do is wring his hands and beat his breast with mea culpas about how we are all steeped with white racism. Minneapolis MayorFrey is an absolute joke and pulled back police to let the rioters burn a police station hoping placate the rioters and I guess to somehow expiate our white racism sins.

This is the result of decades of governance by the liberal DFL party. As one Rev. Wright once said....the chickens have come home to roost. .

“Sending out young men with no ammunition to do the job that seasoned police are trained to do.”

Who says they have no ammo?
