Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Friday admitted an 'abject failure' by law enforcement in trying to control crowds of rioters who took over Minneapolis on Thursday night, torching buildings and overrunning a police station, as a city-wide curfew was declared between the hours of 8pm and 6am.

On Thursday, as tensions in the city boiled all day, the National Guard started putting in motion plans to intervene to help local law enforcement agencies that were struggling to cope with the mounting threat.
But they weren't given the order to act quickly enough, according to officials who spoke at a press conference on Friday, and it led to a night of chaos that climaxed with the Third Police Precinct being set on fire.

This mayor is a total weak kneed LOSER OMG how in the hell do these people get elected!!
Nice work, Democrats. No worries, they’ll run out of places to burn eventually.
You know it’s gotta be bad when you see Democrats throwing other Democrats under the bus.
I’m watching the local news here in the Twin Cities and they’re all over Frey and Carter. That’s unusual because the local media very rarely questions a DFL politician on much of anything.
The first two pictures make Minneapolis look like a third world sh!t hole.
You mean it isn’t???
Racists!
“Help! I voted Democrat and now I can’t get up!”
Just let a bunch of Right Wingers get all destructive and violent like this and these politicians won’t look so weak-kneed. It’s hard to rein in those you agree with and applaud in your heart.
the spectre of a burned down police station is not a good optic for re election....people will remember and if the stupid party was less stupid for a day, they would refresh their memory frequently.
It’s certainly heading that way.
So, who are the men in the bottom photo?
I guess all the social media and DNC controlled media will have the cameras ready to sh*t post and sh*t report @8. BLM and Antifa is waiting for orders from Soros cabal.
Will this go to the next level or fade away and mission accomplished by the left and next phase the trial?
I believe the Horse has already left the Corral.
These riots finally made my wife understand why we need semi automatic rifles that hold 20 rounds. She saw the cops doing nothing to stop the looting and burning of private property. I told her we are on our own when civil society breaks down. We have to fend for ourselves until order is restored.
If the police were allowed to use the force necessary to control the crowds and not arrest shop owners who are shooting the looters, then things would settle down pretty quickly.

It has been for some time.
Wish I was there. I need a new Ladder.
The liberal cops have abandoned their posts. Big surprise. You’re on your own, Minneapolis citizens. Hope you have plans for barricades and manning those barricades with armed citizens.
Minneapolis’ mayor, Jacob Frey on the right, don’t know the other
