Minneapolis boards up and battens down as it braces for serious unrest as Derek Chauvin's trial enters its final phase amid rising tensions following drive-by shooting of two National Guardsmen

Minneapolis was transformed into a fortress over the weekend, as a tense city braced for a verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin - the white police officer accused of murdering George Floyd - this week.

More than 3,000 members of the National Guard have been drafted into the city, in addition to 1,100 officers from public safety agencies across the state as part of what has been termed Operation Safety Net.

In the early hours of Sunday, two members of the National Guard were injured in a drive-by shooting.

BLM has officially said burn until reparations.

This is just a pretext.

Maybe Minnesota is the place where the rule of law must be re-established. It is a good place to start the resistance to lawlessness. IF there are riots, they must be destroyed and the guilty must be punished...

The Democrat need the ‘outrage’ so their Blackshirts will be rioting.
If Derek Chauvin is found guilty of murder, there will be Riots of Joy.
If Derek Chauvin is found guilty of manslaughter, there will be Riots of Rage.
If Derek Chauvin is found innocent of any charges, there will be riots of Intense Rage.
So yeah, there will be riots in most major cities this week.

Yep, and it wouldn’t stop even then. The reparations wouldn’t be sufficient. They’re like jihadis — unappeasable.

they’re shacking in fear of the thousands of white supremacists who will descend upon Minneapolis to riot, loot, and burn if Chauvin is convicted.

They’ve spent too much already preparing

Soros has all his Chicago thugs in Minneapolis, fully armed with weapons and communications, carefully organized into squads and ready to go to make it look like a “spontaneous” riot

CNN & the other leftist Media already have their prepared scripts ready, and have been closely coordinating with the Soros thugs for the best camera angles ... this will be a big production, people!!

Lights, camera, ...

All rioters and looters should be shot on sight, by police and NG. No arrest, detainment or trial; just shoot them. SPJNK.

Th sad thing is, I’ll bet most local residents don’t want a riot & destruction

They may not like the decision and may speak about about it, but they don’t want to destroy their own neighborhood

The Chicago thugs do ... and CNN and Big Media does too, along with the Democrats and the Deep State

Notice how CNN never interviews the local residents, asking what THEY think of a riot? How CNN only talks to the radicals?

Want to bet 90% of those arrested are outside agitators? Just like every other big media-hyped riot??

I've been watching the defense on CSpan-2, commercial and reporter free, and Chauvin is not guilty of any part of killing saint george, but he will be convicted.

The jury members know that if they vote not guilty, they will become public figures, and their lives will be a living hell.

Regardless of the facts, Chauvin is screwed and will be convicted of at least manslaughter, and probably 15th degree murder.

Not a chance it happens here at all. The city sucks and the state just does what is told by the very liberal majority here
