The governor made an obvious point, that they can’t even begin to arrest everyone involved, so arrest is not a solution. He also said that their officers and national guard on scene were being shot at. The perpetrators also completely ignored the silly curfew, and in fact just escalated the violence that much more.
That tells me it’s time to order everyone off the streets by a stated deadline, and to announce that anyone engaged in criminal activity of any kind after that time will be shot on sight, period.
What I just posted on Jim Rob’s thread:
The white guys and gals need to be rounded up if possible, shot if not.
Leave the blacks alone.
Then the police and NG cannot be accused of racism and can say pretty-sounding things about how they left black people alone to loot and destroy their own neighborhoods out of frustration for the injustice suffered at the hands of one white police officer. The police and NG can further say it was racist for the whites to partake in these riots, er “protests.”
Of course, in a place like Portland, they will have to round up and or shoot practically everyone protesting.
It will last a week, then it will disappear forever.
Awwww. Poor baby.
This is clearly a nationally-coordinated attack, using the spontaneous thuggery of the hood rats as an opportunity for Antifa and other Marxist-sponsored groups to wreak havoc. After watching the Minneapolis press conference a little while ago, and hearing the governor describe how they are completely outnumbered and helpless, it is evident to me that the only way to stop this is via the military and deadly force.

A suggestion for Governor Walz...Please ask President for federal troops...Swallow your pride...I am sure that Governor Walz does not like President Trump...However, he needs to ask for federal help...
Perhaps Senator Amy K could convince the governor to ask for federal help...
Stop the riots in Minneapolis...That is the key to stopping the riots in other parts of country...Thugs are encouraged by what is happening in Minneapolis...Destruction of a police station? That was terrible...
To those are saying that the left is looking for a Kent State moment that is clueless as you have ID’d things well. And this is what is going to come as a response and rightfully so. From the US DOD Handbook.:
Use of Federal Troops for Disaster Assistance”:
Inherent Emergency Power
Department of Defense (DOD) regulations assert another exception that does not rest on statutory authority, but is available in very limited circumstances and covers
actions that are taken under the inherent right of the U.S. Government ... to ensure the preservation of public order and to carry out governmental operations within its territorial limits, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law, by force, if necessary. The emergency power, according to DOD directives, is available to protect federal property and functions, and to authorize prompt and vigorous Federal action, including use of military forces, to prevent loss of life or wanton destruction of property and to restore governmental functioning and public order when sudden and unexpected civil disturbances, disaster, or calamities seriously endanger life and property and disrupt normal governmental functions to such an extent that duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation.
Ordinarily, the implementation of such operations must be authorized by executive order, but DOD officials and military commanders may take emergency action without prior authorization in cases where sudden and unexpected civil disturbances (including civil disturbances incident to earthquake, fire, flood, or other such calamity endangering life) occur, if duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation and circumstances preclude obtaining prior authorization by the President..
“That tells me it’s time to order everyone off the streets by a stated deadline, and to announce that anyone engaged in criminal activity of any kind after that time will be shot on sight, period.”
Fully agree.

The Black community in MN is calling out white Antifa members for starting the riots and destroying their communities. I keep telling y’all these white liberals are not our friends. #Democrats #GeorgeFloyd #minneapolis
Reaping and sowing. Let it burn. Get the Guard out of there and lockdown all exits from these cities.
Never happen.
We lack the balls to do it. Too afraid of offending people & being called racist
Our society has unraveled & politicians are too cowardly to do anything.
