Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ordered all National Guard troops activated for the first time in the state’s history Saturday, vowing to put an end to the “wanton destruction” that he pinned on outside forces — from drug cartels to white supremacists.
But President Trump seemed to point to leftist agitators and poor leadership for the unrest in Minnesota following the death of George Floyd.
“It’s ANTIFA and the Radical Left. Don’t lay the blame on others!” Trump tweeted Saturday.
Walz told reporters in a pre-dawn briefing: “The absolute chaos — this is not grieving, and this is not making a statement [about an injustice] that we fully acknowledge

I won't even bother - no doubt no ammo, orders to stand there and look like you could do something, even if by orders and lack of live ammo, you can't.

Just a reality check for Tim: these rioters DO share Dem "values" and they have the same respect for life that Dems are required to have which is NO respect.......NONE at all!
When you pander to and coddle the Godless this is exactly what you should expect.
May this be a real wakeup call to Minnesota voters; I hope they learn a lesson from what is being allowed to happen in their state. Their government at both the state and local level is a monumental failure. They must stand up and demand better.

Methinks there a lot of people in Minnesota who DON"T live in M/St Paul who can differentiate between protestors and arsonists, who will be voting Trump.

FTA: “The terrifying thing is that this resembles more a military operation now as you observe ringleaders moving from place to place,” he added. “There are simply more of them than us.” - Gov. Walz
Memo to Gov. Walz: Automatic weapons are a great force multiplier when the bad guys have you out-numbered.

Well they could have 100,000 National Guardsmen and women on the line, but without effective leadership and rules of engagement they will not do any good. You can see that the liberal Democrat leadership has been very bad at the State and City levels, as those political leaders ordered the police to retreat out of the riot hit area and effectively abandoned their police precinct building, hundreds of businesses, and the general public safety to the rioters, who are also those political leaders identity based voters, who those politicians need to further their political careers. Instead those liberal Democrat elected officials are falsely casting false blame for their incompetent leadership on out of the area mystical “White Supremacists” that nobody there has seen or identified, thus insinuating to the low information crowd that the leaders of the riots were Trump supporters, along with Mexican drug cartels who are known to transport and sell illicit narcotics in the area, in reality to the extent that if they are in the area, those cartel members who are of foreign origin, always try to stay hidden to sell their illicit drugs and have no interest in “outing” themselves by participating in unlawful riots.

Identity politics in action; the rioters and arsonists are not interested in justice. Their gang (they call 'em communities) was dissed, and that calls for retaliation. You can point out all the studies you want that say cops are LESS likely to use force against black guys (as a Harvard study found), it will not take. The gang mentality is inside their head and that is where it will stay.

Gee, and here I thought that tearing down all those (Democrat) Confederate statues was supposed to make blacks’ lives better. That didn’t work so now we have this. I want one of these “protestors” to explain to me how destroying someone else’s property makes their own life better. Sure, they get an adrenalin rush but when they wake up tomorrow morning their lives are going to be just as miserable. The only thing they are really doing is reinforcing existing stereotypes about their “community”. Yeah. That’ll help.

White supremacists.? Sure. Lie upon lie upon lie. To be KKK types they sure do seem to have lots of black friends. What an effing joke. Shameless lying to cover for black criminals.
