Gov. Tim Walz has declared a state of emergency in the seven-county Twin Cities Metro and is bringing in police backup from Ohio and Nebraska as a verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial nears.
"We can’t live like this. We simply can’t. But we can’t have thousands of businesses burned and people put at risk," Walz said at a Monday evening news conference when asked about the security strategy.
Walz and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul said they would not order curfews for the entire week as the verdict looms. Curfews are likely on the city level on a day-by-day basis, not preemptively, a spokesman for the governor later said.
Walz is also asking the state Legislature to free up millions of dollars in emergency security funding.
Monday afternoon, the Minnesota Senate quickly passed $9 million in emergency funding to deal with unrest in the Twin Cities, with Republicans saying it was needed to keep the peace.

This will be going on for a while. Possibly until even the crazies are privately bored with it.
Minnesota is not even contiguous with those states. Wisconsin Iowa and the Dakotas refused his request?
He’s actually a very good speaker. He’s a much better fence sitter.
Why would a cop do anything to stop the rioters when they will get fired and their lives ruined?
They can’t live like this? Didn’t they already live like this, last summer? Didn’t they pretty much choose to let the city burn already? What is different this time?
Don’t know where requests were sent. It also looks like there will be more invitees to the party.
My God, what kind of deathwish do you have to have to come in and supplement libtard minnesota?
Good Lord. no amount of money unless I can fire at will, unlimited. Cripes.
This j**k off needs to be”Walzed” out of office ASAP
They deserve him.
Many of them dont’ want men.
All of them want the resources of men.
“They can’t live like this? Didn’t they already live like this, last summer? Didn’t they pretty much choose to let the city burn already? What is different this time?”
All great questions.
Evacuate the innocent. Get them out as if they are refugees from a war.
Then pull back and cordon off that part of the city. No police. No firefighters. No emergency medical.
They want to burn their own city, let them. No insurance company would pay a nickel.
Yes they can, and they will.
Folks, have fun in the Twin Cities. And for the Liberals who think they’re safe in the Suburbs, well, they’re asking for it too.
Prediction: The cops will stay out of harms way, and watch. The BLM/progressive politicians/MSM will get the looting and riots they did everything in their power to bring about. Ratings bonanza. Calls for black reparations. Jesse, Al, Mad Max, Crump, etc. will be screaming for defunding po po.
You are probably right. Maybe the cops will just tell the mayor and Governor to get screwed, that they will not try to stop the rioters, because the mayor is on the rioter’s side.
Target has rebuilt and restocked.
In your prediction, you forgot that there will be lots more free big screen TVs.
What are the rules of engagement? If a bunch of ferals are shot, what will happen?
7 years really bad luck. And rioting.
