Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Sunday that while some Minneapolis residents felt safer with National Guard troops on city streets after demonstrations over the police-involved death of George Floyd turned violent, others felt terrorized by the presence of tanks while protesting.
.
.
.
The congresswoman also called for nationwide reforms beyond just getting justice for George Floyd by charging the other former Minneapolis police officers who stood by idly while former officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyds neck.

Neither the guy with sword and the other with a hunting bow were properly equipped to confront looters or rioters. I think a shot gun is the weapon of choice.
I understand their intent but futile gestures like these always get me down.

THE TERRORISTS ARE TERRORIZED, HOW DARE TRUMP DO THIS!, Hey camel girl they should all be shot

let’s hope they do feel terrorized by the presence of tanks. and that the tanks take the appropriate action in even the insurrectionists remain violent... burning down people’s stores, police stations, city halls, parked cars, stealing people’s property, threatening and beating people up....
its past time we have our own nice little “tiananmen square” to put a stop to these dangerous SorozNazi revolutionary gangsters. let’s give the commie/nazi leftist mass media something like another Kent State to headline on their 24/7 propaganda news. Give a clear warning to allow the treatening crowd to disperse or at least to cease violent attacks .... this will give any innocent people around the place time to disperse, get away safely...then roll the tanks!
(and if it were me I would send the very first good powerful tank for their ringleader hisself)

They should feel terrorized by the presence of tanks. Actually, they should have been shot full of holes by the guns on the tanks or run over by the tanks so that won’t feel anything.

Well, “Duh”, that is the purpose of the tanks. You can’t set it on fire, slash the tires, break the windows, nor flip over a tank so that must be very demoralizing to a “protester”.

Is she implying that law enforcement should just stand aside and let rioters do what rioters do best? Implying?
No. SAYING.
Just like in her beloved Somalia.
