Minnesota Governor Tim Walz declared a state of emergency in Minneapolis while also confirming that 150 National Guards will be brought in to help local law enforcement deal with the unrest.
"Minneapolis, it's time to heal. We must rebuild and recover. Dangerous, unlawful behavior will not be tolerated. The Minnesota National Guard and State Patrol are headed to Minneapolis to help restore order. I remain in close contact with the city and every state resource stands ready to help bring peace," said Walz.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey thanked Walz for his support after confirming the National Guard will be brought in.
"The unrest must stop and healing must start. Destruction will not be tolerated," Frey said. "Healing our city will require peace and all of us working together."
A citywide curfew is in effect in Minneapolis until 6 a.m. Thursday. During the curfew, people cannot travel on any public street or gather in any public place unless exempt.

More looting in downtown Minneapolis. Theyve now breached the Saks 5th Avenue store on 6th and Nicollet and people are making out with lots of goods.

If people are willing to burn down neighborhoods, destroy and kill on behalf of violent criminal sex offenders, they will riot for anyoneincluding someone who kills himself. This is #BlackLivesMatter

Video of the murder suspect committing suicide as the cops closed in at the link. This is apparently the event that kicked off the latest round of rioting/looting in Minneapolis.
A bit late I’d say.
About 90 days Id say.
What was the solution?? Tear gas, pepper spray, hoses, tazers...you didn't care...
The Dems are seeing the riots are not good for polling purposes so they are now condemning it. How many people lost their homes, lives, businesses, etc because of their politics!
Proof of the old saw...”give them an inch, and they’ll....you know the thing!”
Further proof that Feds, that’s you Barr, must go after the $$$ sources for the organized part of this charade....start locking people like Soros up for fomenting these “peaceful protests”...
Anyone calling what we are seeing happening in cities like Minneapolis the unrest is not being honest about what is happening.
It won’t be real civil unrest until our side starts shooting.
The obvious result of YEARS of Democratic leadership or lack thereof in cities and States. The Governor’s actions and that of the Mayor of Minneapolis is too little, too late. If concerned citizen’s of Minneapolis are worried about their businesses and their homes they will go into the voting booth and turn away from the DemoRat party. I used to attend the medical device show in downtown Minneapolis every year. Never Again.
So the Minneapolis mayor and gov are now thanking Trump for sending in the national guard? Are the National Guard allowed to restore order even if it means using live ammo?
So sez the publically neutered Mayor of Minneapolis.
I think polling is showing biden going to lose if destruction continues.
Lebron james hasnt got the message yet
The governor and mayor own the destruction and loss of life. They should immediately resign and sign over their ill-gotten wealth from holding office to the survivors of this political mess.
Warning graphic here
My first thought, also.
All this will do is going to HELP both TRUMP/PENCE because of these 3 simple words: LAW AND ORDER.
LeBron is an evil man. These guys are so stupid. Bad things in his future. Maybe he’ll hop on a helicopter and visit me on a foggy day up in thousand oaks. Lebron the pawn
