The city of Minneapolis imposed a curfew and asked the National Guard to return to its streets after renewed rioting and looting Wednesday night.
The unrest was sparked by untrue rumors that a man wanted for a fatal shooting who killed himself as police closed in had actually been shot by officers.
Police almost immediately shared surveillance video of the suicide, but it did little to calm crowds who broke windows at retail stores, restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The sudden chaos prompted Gov. Tim Walz to declare an emergency in the city and mobilize the Minnesota National Guard and 150 State Patrol troopers. Mayor Jacob Frey also ordered a curfew from 10 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.

So arrest the curfew violators- that’s what a curfew means.
Sure, let them go. But if they return keep them locked up. They’ll figure it out quickly.
You gotta love Trump. By denying them federal aid, he’s making them move their fat asses and take control. Now the SJWs will get pissed at them for doing so! A double win!
They are looting and rioting over a killer who committed suicide. Stupid people. Asteroid please.
All of a sudden, simultaneous calls for the National Guard. It should have been done weeks ago. What the heck are the DEMs up to? Nothing they have been doing and will continue to do through Election Day is unplanned.
Again?
Hmm, it would not have to do with polls showing voters getting tired of this bs now, would it?

“The city of Minneapolis imposed a curfew and asked the National Guard to return to its streets...”
What are the rules of engagement?
Is it just a show of force?
Are the National Guard and law enforcement just bluffing?
They’ve already screwed the pooch. If the dems go all out and stop the riots now, it won’t change a thing. All of America and swing voters know exactly who cause all this mayhem and protected them for so long.
You can’t unring the bell and fix it with policy change now. That’s like cheating on your girl and thinking flowers will fix it. Damage is done...
“What the heck are the DEMs up to? Nothing they have been doing and will continue to do through Election Day is unplanned.”
You are SO right.
Were they hoping that sharing the video so quickly would placate the mob????
Well, here’s a real world example that trying to placate a mob doesn’t work.
Creating a situation where Trump can be blamed.

MONTHS ago.
I’m glad he’s not funding the rebuilding of these places, but libs are counting on a Biden win to secure the funding; more free sh!t for their “community activists”...
But wait! I thought Murderapolis was going to “reimagine policing” and defund its police department. The City Council voted to do so. Now they’re deploying police on the streets? Isn’t that oppressive?
Yeah, I know, as if . . . .
Why would you need a curfew when its mostly peaceful rioting???
